Residence Halls
Not Your Typical
1st-Year Housing
Get to know your neighbors in our smaller buildings.
We don't call them "dorms," because you won't find high-rise dorms with a thousand nameless students at UW-Green Bay. We don't have communal bathrooms, either! Our unique approach to on-campus living means smaller residential buildings that foster a sense of community and togetherness. Our largest residence hall houses 200 students, and most have less than 60 residents.

Largest Residence Hall
We have one larger residence hall style building, Roy Downham Hall, but it's still a small community. It has 97 rooms and can house 194 residents. This residence hall also has an elevator.

Small Residence Halls
UW-Green Bay has ten 30-room residence hall buildings. Our residence hall rooms are double occupancy, so this means that each community houses 60 students.

College is exciting because you're on your own! But if something comes up, each building has resident mentors and a hall managers on staff that you can go to for answers, guidance and advice.
