Living on campus is a major part of the total college experience. The residence halls at the University of West Alabama provide a convenient location to your classes and the many campus services available to you. Many on-campus residents form friendships that last a lifetime. Our goal: to make UWA “your home away from home.”
As a first-year student, you’ll be part of a vibrant community including more than 1,300 of your fellow students, many of whom are living away from home for the first time. Here’s what you need to know about living on campus during your first year.
Freshman year is a unique time in the life of every college student. With fourteen Resident Assistants in your freshman residence, Gilbert Hall, you’ll get the support and guidance you need to adjust to college life. Here’s what you need to know to apply for housing.
UWA requires all freshmen to live on campus for up to one academic year (there is an exemption). Living on campus provides educational and social benefits not available to students who live off-campus. The residence halls provide students with a supportive living environment, proximity to academic resources and convenient access to organized student activities. All incoming freshmen who have earned less than 24 credits are assigned to Gilbert Hall, which features suite-style rooms with bathrooms and a wide range of amenities.
