The above (Ispf…) cross posted with my edit. The private dorms have nothing to do with the university. UW does not require anyone to live on campus. Newly admitted students (rolling admissions) get info from Res Halls, and also this group of privately owned dorms with the word “university” in its name. There is a window of opportunity to apply to Res Halls after being admitted, some choose not to and can choose any apartments or other places to live. Now most sophomores and above live in apartments etc; they now reserve 50% of the dorm space for incoming students. It’s too bad someone let this influence their whole college choice decision, especially with limited information.
