Welcome to UW-Parkside, Office of Residence Life!
Hello, and welcome to the residence halls of UW-Parkside--it's great to have you here! Life on campus is a unique experience. You'll be living and learning with people from a variety of backgrounds who have different interests, goals and aspirations.
Like any experience, college is what you make of it. There are lots of things to do around campus and in the Kenosha/Racine area. We encourage you to meet new people and try new things. Get involved - It's FUN. You'll learn things about yourself and others, and you'll gain skills that will help you in your career and life.
We believe that you'll find our facilities and services to be among the best - just like our academic programs. We strive to provide a living environment that is comfortable, safe and conducive to everyone's academic and personal growth. Our staff is here to assist in meeting your needs. Constructive feedback is always welcome. Please share your suggestions and concerns.
We hope in this year, you will find great joy as you broaden your understanding of people, the world and life. May your experience here bring fond memories in the years to come!
