The University of Wyoming is nestled in the heart of Laramie. Our beautiful campus
is settled among hundreds of mature spruce trees and granite boulders dotted with
updated facilities that have preserved the charm of when UW started in 1886. We offer
in-person campus tours along with two virtual options so you can get to know campus
from anywhere in the world.

The UW campus is the center of Laramie, Wyoming where students can enjoy one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. With
a population of 31,000 during the academic year, Laramie provides quick access to
rock climbing, a thriving mountain biking scene, winter sports and other outdoor activities.
Nestled near Medicine Bow National Forest, we offer stunning views of the Snowy Mountains.
And if you're looking for more adventure, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado are just
an hour away. We offer big opportunities without the pressures of big city life —
or costs.
Laramie was voted the 2023 #1 Most Affordable Mountain Town in the West by Outside Magazine!
Campus offers six residence halls to incoming first-year students along with our campus apartments for students sophomore and up. Most of our dorm rooms are double-occupancy and are nestled close to the Washakie Dining Center and classroom buildings, though single and suite rooms are available in some of the halls. Students have the option of requesting a roommate or you will be matched with one using our roommate quiz!
Additionally, we offer housing options designed specifically for our students who share similar interests and backgrounds. The Tobin House is designed exclusively for our first-generation students - meaning they are the first in their family to attend college. The UW Honors House is a beautiful tutor-style building where select Honors College students may apply to live while in the program.
Over 500 students take part in dozens of Fraternity & Sorority Life organizations on campus. Recruitment for the chapters begins each fall and housing options typically become available in a student’s second year.
The University of Wyoming has dozens of high-tech facilities, performance and athletic
centers and so much more. If you want to explore specific parts of campus, check out
our interactive map along with some easy downloads so you can get the most out of
your visit to UW.
Our undergraduate and graduate degrees are designed to give students close interaction
with faculty in our incredible facilities, and even outside in the vast open spaces
of Wyoming. Many programs also have options to study abroad and conduct undergraduate
research!
Our campus is one of students' favorite aspects of UW, but don't take it from us. See what they're saying through our student blogs!
