UW-River Falls is considered a “residential campus.” More than 40 percent of the undergraduate student population lives on campus in one of our 10 residence halls, the highest percentage in the University of Wisconsin System. In 2005, the University opened a new 240-bed, $10 million, suite-style residence hall for junior and senior students. Also in 2007, the University opened a new $34 million student center located in the heart of the campus overlooking the South Fork of the Kinnickinnic River. This environmentally sensitive building is one of the most state-of-the-art campus centers in the Upper Midwest .
