Gender-inclusive housing

Housing options for students who prefer a roommate match not based on legal sex or gender identity.

Home / Gender-inclusive housing

How it works

Students can choose a gender-inclusive room assignment on the standard housing application; roommate matching then works the same way it does for any other assignment, using stated preferences rather than legal sex.

Where it is available

Traditional halls offer it on select floors; North Campus's suite and apartment layouts make it available building-wide because bedrooms are already private within a shared unit.

In and around Porter Falls

Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.

The practical details

Where offered: Select floors in three residence halls plus all of North Campus. How to request: Housing application, no documentation required. Roommate matching: By preference, same as any other match. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.

If you have a question

The office behind this is Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.

Fictional information

UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
