Living & Dining

A place to call their own

Traditional or modern residence halls. Shared apartments. Greek life and off-campus housing.

Whether your student loves to socialize or craves quiet time, the 天美影院has a place to meet their needs. It’s not required, but 71% of 天美影院freshmen choose to live on campus because of the convenience and community.

And speaking of convenience, hungry Huskies will find no shortage of on-campus food choices. The Seattle campus features 30 dining locations, including restaurants, caf茅s, food trucks, food courts and markets.

Our Move In & Move Out page can help you prepare for your student’s first year if they choose to live on campus.

Healthy eats

No matter where they live, your 天美影院student will have access to a wide range of healthy meals and snacks. Many residence halls require students to have a dining plan. For students living in apartments, optional dining plans provide flexibility and convenience.

Greek life housing

Fraternity and sorority housing is a longstanding tradition at UW. All 26 Interfraternity Council (IFC) chapters and 16 of the 18 Panhellenic Association (PHA) chapters maintain chapter facilities where members live, eat, and build community. For many chapters, new members are expected to move into the chapter facility after Primary Recruitment in fall, so your student’s living plans may shift from a residence hall to a chapter house mid-quarter.
