  • Gain practical life skills
  • Demonstrate academic success
  • Become interculturally aware
  • Exhibit socially responsible behavior

Residence Halls

On-campus living exposes students to new ideas, people and cultures. Residential living also promotes interpersonal development, co-curricular engagement, student involvement and academic success.

UW-Superior offers a range of options for students living in university residence halls. All rooms are furnished and have wired and wireless internet service.

The UW System Board of Regents requires students to live in a university residence hall and to participate in a university meal plan, if the students are:

  • Freshmen or sophomores (students who have not earned at least 56 semester credits by the first day of the fall semester and are under the age of 20 by the first day of the fall semester,
  • Not veterans,
  • Not married and/or legally dependent children,
  • Not living with a parent or guardian within 35 miles of campus (with a Residency Requirement Form on file with the Residence Life Office).
