Housing

You’ll join nearly 4,000 students in UWEC housing. In one of the 13 residence halls on campus, you’ll do the expected — sleeping, studying, figuring out what to wear — and the unexpected, too: running for hall government, getting involved in student organizations, and engaging with social, educational and multicultural programs.

Find a Roommate (optional)

If you already know who you want to request as your roommate, you may invite this individual to your roommate group, and they must accept the invitation to make a mutual roommate request in housing contract and/or at My Housing Portal Roommate Group.

If you want to search for a roommate among other incoming students, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Housing and Residence Life is excited to offer a Roommate Finder functionality within your My Housing Portal. Only after a student has completed the housing contract do they have access to the Roommate Finder. You can update your contract information including changing your roommate preference until May 1 at 11:59 p.m.
