Special Diets
We are committed to providing safe dining options to our
residents and will work with you to ensure your needs are
met. Students with medically related dietary restrictions
should review the Disability Accommodation and Accessibility
page.
We are also committed to providing our customers with the
information they need to make informed decisions about
healthy dining. Complete nutritional information for much of
the food we serve is available online, and our dining locations
will feature items that meet certain dietary requirements
such as vegetarian or gluten-free.
If you are a member of the gender and sexual diversity, or
ally, community, you may search for roommates via the Q
Center’s Queer-Positive Roommate Forum.
Requesting a Specific Roommate
You may request a specific roommate on your application.
Your request will be accommodated if:
• Both residents are of the same gender*
• Both applications have concurring information
• Both applications are submitted at approximately the same
time
• Space is available

Finding a Roommate
If you want to find a roommate you may use the UW Facebook Roommate Finder App; if you don’t find a roommate on
your own we will assign one for you. Instructions to sign up
should be provided by the Office of Admissions in their email
communications with you.
*Students who request nine-month housing in a gender-neutral
room will be assigned with another student who has requested the
same in a double room with a private bath.
Please Note: You will be asked to enter your requested
roommate’s UW student number on the application. Our ability to assign specific roommates together is limited by room
availability.
If you do not specify a roommate, you will be assigned one by
the Student Services Office.
Except as required by law, assignments to UW residence halls
and other housing facilities provided for students are made
without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin,
age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or military status.
Greek Life or On-Campus Housing?
Many women and men choose to join sororities and fraternities instead of living in the residence halls, and most of them
participate in formal recruitment held yearly in mid-September.
Sororities: The Panhellenic Association and HFS work in
collaboration to ensure that all undergraduate women have
a chance to consider Greek life without risking their place in
the residence halls in case their sorority plans fall through.
For more detailed sorority information click here.
Fraternities: The Interfraternity Council and HFS cooperate
to identify men who have applied for on-campus housing and
have also confirmed a space in a fraternity house.
