Eta Beta is a wonderful student residence available that is super close to the UW campus! It’s one of the closest residences you can find!

I am a current resident who has to move out for personal reasons, but I endorse this place wholeheartedly. First of all, the location is wonderful. It’s one of the closest residences to north campus. Secondly, the house manager, Athena, is absolutely amazing and friendly and available often. Thirdly, the community is also great. There are community events sometimes, and there are almost always people hanging out downstairs. It’s the kind of place where you can stay and be quiet in your room or go and hang out with people depending on your personal preference; you are never forced into any social activities. The girls and guys are super nice, though, so if you like being social, you’ll definitely find some great friends here.

The rent is $544/month or $1632/quarter for a double. This covers ALL utilities, including heating and wifi. The room comes furnished with a spacious desk, chair and dresser for each resident, as well as a bed and a large closet. There is a community kitchen downstairs in which you will get a locked cabinet to store your food. There is also a community fridge available, or you can bring your own or rent one to have in your room if you desire.

There is NO deposit right now because I have already paid it for this year. If you want to renew for next year, you will have to pay a deposit then. It’s $300, and $200 is refundable to you at the end of your stay.

The rent lasts until the end of spring quarter, so you don’t need to stay for summer if you don’t want to. But if you do want to, summer housing is available too.

The building consists of four floors: a basement, a ground floor, and two residence floors. The basement contains a couple of rooms, plus a really cool entertainment room with a large TV w/cable that is available for resident use. The ground floor contains the lobby, Athena’s office, a living room, a library, a dining room, and the kitchen. The second floor is where girls live, and the third floor is where guys live.

There is a fully-stocked community bathroom on each residence floor. There are three shower stalls, one bath tub, six sinks, and four toilet stalls. I’ve NEVER had to wait for any of these things.

A maid comes in three times a week to clean up community areas including the bathrooms and the first floor. No additional cost to you.

Every school day, there is free breakfast available from 7:30am-9:30am. That’s right: FREE breakfast. The breakfast contains an assortment of food including bread, yogurt, cereal, juice, fruit, etc.

Storage space is available for an extra $75/month. Parking is available for $100/month. There is laundry available on every residence floor. $1 to wash and only $0.50 to dry.

Overall this is a WONDERFUL place to live. I have loved my time here and I am sad to have to leave. I am sure that you will love it here too.

The residence is only available for UW students. Females preferred since there is more availability for them right now, but guys can feel free to inquire.
