To help them maximize their potential, the UW Trustees have established a policy requiring
new students to live in UW residence halls during their first academic year on campus
and to contract for a minimum of a 12-accesses-per-week dining plan. |
The University of Wyoming offers many learning communities that provide students an
opportunity to reside in close proximity with others who share similar interests.
A First-Year Interest Group (FIG) is one such option. Students live on the same floor of a designated residence hall
and attend various events with their FIG Residence Assistant (RA). Other floors or
half-floors have special designations. For example, there are floors for engineering
majors, honors students, a dedicated house for first-generation students, and many
more options. |
For first-year students, Saddle Up is a required program that takes place one week before the the start of the semester.
For current move-in dates, check the Residence Life and Dining website. |
The current Washakie Dining Center hours and prices can be accessed at the Dining website. |
If you know you a person that you already wish to room with, you can request that
person on the contract when you apply. You both must request each other. If you do
not have a choice already, you might meet someone during the New Student Days or by
connecting to others on social media. If you still do not have a roommate, during
room selection, you can view potential roommate's preferences such as preferred quiet
hours and select a person who you think you will connect well with. |
