Living Options

On south campus, CK, TO and North Hall are accessible to students with disabilities. Red Cedar Hall, which is on North campus is also accessible.

In order to enhance the academic success of freshman students, UW-Stout has created a "First Year Experience" (FYE) program. The FYE program will enhance the educational experience of first year students through locating some academic advisor offices in the residence halls, by involving the faculty more closely into the halls, increasing block scheduling, sponsoring more academic activities and workshops, and through other initiatives all designed to help students succeed. This FYE program will be located in AFM, CK, TO, HK, MC, and South Halls. All freshmen will be located on South campus.

Watch here for more details about this exciting opportunity for freshmen.

The Next Experience residence halls will continue University Housing's mission to serve students' development in becoming incrementally independent by providing educational opportunities, serving as a resource hub, encouraging a philosophy of life long learning, and continuing to build upon the ROC principles of Responsibility, Ownership, and Civility.

In The Next Experience students are encouraged to develop:

• Behavioral accountability
• Skills for professional life
• Interpersonal communication skills
• Conflict management skills
• Independent and critical thinking skills
• And, value each person's uniqueness

Alcohol Free Living Communities provide a living experience where all students of the community agree not to consume or be under the influence of alcohol while on the floor.  By checking “yes” you agree to follow this community policy. Community members found in violation of this policy will be moved to another double space.

Quiet/Study Living Communities provide a living experience where all students of the community desire to have an overall quieter atmosphere. Residents and guests are expected to observe quiet hours beginning at 8:00pm on weeknights rather than the typical 10:00pm.

Wellness Living Communities provide a living environment where students can participate in programs related to physical and nutritional wellness.

Diversity Integrated with Academics & Leadership (D.I.A.L.) Living Communitiesis a diverse living community that promotes acceptance and understanding of differences. Students are encouraged to learn about themselves and others through dialouge and unique programming.

These floors have both male and female students living on the floor.  Roommates are the same gender.  Separate restrooms are provided for each gender.

All halls are open every day of the academic year. They open on a given date prior to the fall semester and close after spring finals. In addition Red Cedar Hall are open during the summer for a additional summer fee.

This is a community for students who care about the environment.  Learn more about living “green” and practices that support a green lifestyle.  You'll have opportunities to participate in the Recyclable Art Competition, Recyclemania, Earth Day, and highway and stream clean-ups.  Students are linked in two general education courses in the fall:  BIO-111, (Science, Society and Environment) and ENGL-101, (Freshmen English Composition).  The community will enroll in LIT-275, (Environmental Literature) in the spring semester. 

This learning community is a place where art majors can develop design skills and be inspired by fellow artists.  Students will work on their artist statement in their ENGL-101, (Freshmen English Composition).  Students will be linked in ENGL-101, ART-101, (Two-Dimensional Design), and ARTH-223, (Survey of Art) courses in the fall semester and ENGL-102, (Freshmen Reading & Related Writing) plus ART-200, (Drawing II) in the spring.

Develop a deeper understanding about the world around you though art and science.  If you have an interest in exploring, experimenting, and researching, this learning community combining art and science will be a great match for you.  Students will be enrolled in the same sections of BIO-142, (Plants & People), a general education science course, and ART-100, (Drawing I).    Students will create a “sketchbook-journal” used in both courses and explore connections between art and science.

This living learning community of applied science freshmen will encourage connections with the Applied Science program, the UW-Stout campus, and businesses and organizations of the city of Menomonie.  Live on the same residence hall floor with other freshmen Applied Science majors and enroll in the same section of APSC-101, (Applied Science Profession I).  This learning community will include service learning projects such as stream clean-ups; rain garden maintenance, or invasive species removal.  Make connections with faculty participating in the Applied Science Scholars Community. Students who have identified Applied Science as their program of studywill be placed in this Living Learning Community unless they express a stronger interest for another learning community. Students who are considering an Applied Science major may request this learning community to gain a better insight into the Applied Science program.

Twenty-five engineering majors will live on this residence hall floor and be enrolled in the same section of Introduction to Engineering Materials (MFGT-150). Make connections with engineering students and have a support network from the start. The hall director and live-in academic resource coordinator will encourage study groups, attendance at engineering related speaker and events, and activities that support the engineering curriculum.

The University Honors Program (UHP) offers a “living and learning” component of the program.  Students may choose to live on the “Honors” floor with other UHP students.  If you are interested in this living option, indicate this preference on your Housing survey.  If you would like more information about the Honors Program you may call #715-232 1455 or e-mail the Program Director, Bob Horan at horanr@uwstout.edu.
