The residence halls at UW-Stout provide a variety of convenient living environments to meet the diverse needs of students. These include alcohol-free, quiet-study, honors, year-round housing, upper class floors and accessibility options. All resident halls are smoke-free.

Accessibility Options:
On south campus, CK, TO and North Hall are accessible to students with disabilities. Red Cedar Hall, which is on North campus is also accessible.
In addition the department also offers special programs that focus on a certain style of living while combining features listed above.
First Year Experience (FYE)
In order to enhance the academic success of freshman students, UW-Stout has created a "First Year Experience" (FYE) program. The FYE program will enhance the educational experience of first year students through locating some academic advisor offices in the residence halls, by involving the faculty more closely into the halls, increasing block scheduling, sponsoring more academic activities and workshops, and through other initiatives all designed to help students succeed. This FYE program will be located in AFM, CK, TO, HK, MC, and South Halls. All freshmen will be located on South campus.
Watch here for more details about this exciting opportunity for freshmen.
The Next Experience
The Next Experience residence halls will continue University Housing’s mission to serve students’ development in becoming incrementally independent by providing educational opportunities, serving as a resource hub, encouraging a philosophy of life long learning, and continuing to build upon the ROC principles of Responsibility, Ownership, and Civility.
In The Next Experience students are encouraged to develop:

Alcohol-Free:
These floors were established for students who choose to live in an environment free of alcohol. Alcohol is not permitted on these floors, including student rooms, regardless of one's age. On floors not designated as "alcohol-free", alcohol is permitted in student rooms of legal age residents but not in lounges, hallways, and other public areas.
Honors:
The floor provides opportunities for students who are a part of the Honors Program to share classroom and other academic experiences within a social atmosphere.
Quiet / Study:
Although University Housing expects residents to respect the need for reasonable quiet for study on all floors, quiet/study floors are designated for those residents who desire a more quiet atmosphere. Residents of these floors and others visiting these communities are expect to observe quiet hours from 8:00p.m. to 9:00a.m. Sunday through Thursday and from Midnight to 10:00a.m. Friday and Saturday.
Wellness:
Residents may participate in programs related to physical and nutritional, intellectual and occupational, emotional and social as well as spiritual wellness. Residents choose from a combination of active and passive programming as they work to achieve their lifestyle goals.
Year-Round Housing:
All halls are open every day of the academic year. They open on a given date prior to the fall semester and close after spring finals. In addition North Hall and Red Cedar Hall are open during the summer for a additional summer fee.
