Community

Family Moving In

You are part of a diverse and inclusive community

With more than 10,000 students, our on- and off-campus residential communities boast an array of values, beliefs, perspectives and abilities. This rich diversity is one of the reasons living in residence is such a valuable and worthwhile experience. Housing & Food Service's Diversity and Inclusion statement articulates our community’s aspirations for becoming a truly inclusive and equitable Husky Home.

Your health and wellness matter to us

College is full of excitement, opportunities and also challenges. HFS and UW have services that support students’ emotional and mental health, so you can make the most of your time here.

Events and activities

Residential Life staff organize and present a wide variety of programs and events designed especially for the residents of family housing. These programs and events offer ongoing opportunities to interact with each other, learn about different cultures, become familiar with campus resources, celebrate seasonal and cultural traditions, increase awareness around issues of safety and security and much more. Most programs and events are provided by Residential Life at no additional cost to participants.

The following are some examples of programs and events offered to family housing residents in the past:

  • Cooking classes

  • Financial and home-buying seminars
