Housing Near the UW

The University of Washington is a small city itself, and many students choose to live on campus. There are dorms on north and south campus, and a typical dorm room houses anywhere from one to three people. Learn more about on-campus housing from UW Housing and Food Services. Off-campus housing, naturally, varies tremendously.
