Choose a community
Residence options include traditional halls, suites, apartments, quiet floors, returning-student communities and theme-based learning groups.
Community standards
Residents share responsibility for respectful conduct, guests, quiet hours, maintenance reporting, accessibility and emergency readiness.
Support
Resident assistants, professional staff and on-call teams connect residents to academic, health, conduct and conflict-resolution support.
Choosing where to live
Options run from traditional corridor halls on the south quad to suites and apartments on North Campus, plus quiet floors, substance-free floors and a handful of theme communities tied to a major or interest. The room-selection process and rates are posted before the deposit is due.
Living together
Residents agree to community standards on conduct, guests, quiet hours, maintenance reporting and emergency readiness. Resident assistants, hall directors and an on-call team connect students to academic, health, conduct and conflict-resolution support, and roommate agreements are revisited if things go sideways.
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, the lighted trail and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.
The practical details
Halls: Traditional, suite, apartment, quiet, returning-student, theme. Live-in staff: Resident assistants plus professional hall directors. First-year requirement: Live on campus unless commuting from home. These specifics can shift from term to term, so confirm anything time-sensitive — a deadline, an appointment, an eligibility rule — before you count on it.
If you have a question
This is handled by Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555-0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or use MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If another office turns out to own the question, they will pass it along rather than send you back to the beginning.
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.
