UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
UWRF does enforce the UW-System 2-year live on campus residency requirement. Please review the policy information on our webpage to see if you qualify for an exemption. Even if you don’t have to live on campus, you may want to consider doing so as the majority of our residence hall students find that on-campus living does have many benefits.
Yes. We offer an online roommate matching service for students who would like to select their own roommate. This is done through the housing contract. Or, if you want to experience college the traditional way, we’ll be happy to assign you a roommate.
Learning Communities offer first year students the opportunity to participate in a cohort of classes with students on their same floor. This makes it easier to form study groups, ask questions of peers and Learning Community students have an easier time getting to know their professors. Generally, the national research would show that Learning Community students stay in college, graduate, and are overall, more satisfied with their collegiate experience.
Yes, although you may want to consider asking yourself if you really need a car. Downtown River Falls and its amenities are in close proximity to campus. View parking information and guidelines.
Room assignments are sent to students' UWRF email accounts as soon as they are available. Assignments are typically made by July 1st for students starting in the fall, and in January for students started in the spring. Contracts submitted after initial assignments are made will be assigned periodically until the start of the semester. Once assignments have been made, we regret that we cannot accommodate requests for changes. Room and hall changes are typically allowed withing 2-4 weeks after the semester begins as space allows, after the "room move freeze" is lifted.
Please see our webpage for information related to cancelling a housing contract. If you are currently living on-campus, be sure to talk to your RA because students need to check out with hall staff before leaving campus.
