IVE ON CAMPUS
LIVE ON CAMPUS
FIVE REASONS
1
OPTIONS

in a quiet study environment. The residence halls accommodate many
different types of people, from freshmen to upperclass and
non-traditional students.
2
MAKING FRIENDS
Residence halls are communities where you can meet a variety of new
and interesting people.
3
CONVENIENCE
Would you like to have telephone service, fast internet access, a cable
tv connection, a microfridge, and a clean environment to live in? No problem!
All are provided in the residence halls as a part of your housing costs.
Meal plans are covered as well!

who share your interests. Not only that, but the residence halls are great

EXPECTATIONS
EXPECTATIONS
6
You have some expectations of us as a University. Guess what? We have
expectations of you, too. We want to outline them here, so you know
what to prepare yourself for when you arrive at UW-Stout.
Show Integrity.
Be truthful and honest with people. Stick to your morals and values. For example,
don’t lie to people or cheat on tests and papers. Follow the rules and policies
that have been established. They were made for a reason.
Respect Yourself.
Think about your behavior before you do something. Ask, “Is this helping me
succeed in college?” Can you say that you are proud of your actions? Challenge
yourself to look at things from a new perspective. Instead of following a crowd,
be an individual.
Show concern for others. Treat people well, and be kind to them. Think about how
YOUR behaviors are affecting others, and act accordingly. Be a good citizen. Learn
about those who are different from you, and appreciate them. Don’t judge people
or discriminate against them. Act in a way that helps create a positive community.
Respect Authority.
Treat faculty and staff (including student staff members) appropriately. Follow their
advice and directives, because if they are telling you to do something, it is probably in
your best interest (even if you don’t think so at the time). Follow policies and procedures,
and you will find yourself getting through things much more easily.
Respect Property.
We provide all kinds of stuff (furniture, athletic equipment, facilities, etc.) to make
your Stout experience better. Take care of it - treat things with care. If it breaks or
is damaged, tell someone and get it fixed or replaced.
ALCOHOL USE
We specifically want to mention our expectations regarding alcohol use.
On some campuses, drinking is often part of the social life for students, but
misuse of alcohol is a growing problem. If you read the previous expectations,
you will realize that if you choose to drink alcohol, you will impact yourself and
other people. Most of the time, this impact is negative. UW-Stout is taking an
aggressive approach to under-age drinking and alcohol abuse. There will be
financial and educational consequences for students who violate alcohol policies. We want you to be aware of this before you come to school here. If you
come to UW-Stout, we want you to have fun and enjoy yourself, but
you need to do this in responsible ways.
EXPECTATIONS
Respect Others.

One hall is available for sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, or students

basements, and other common areas. On smoking floors, students may smoke in their
rooms when their doors are closed.
Honors Floor
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 Floors
These floors are designated for students who desire a quieter atmosphere. Residents
on these floors and their guests are expected to observe quiet hours beginning at
8:00pm weeknights.
Break Housing
One hall is open year-round. You might stay here over breaks if you are involved in
Winterm classes or live too far from Menomonie to go home.
D.I.A.L. Success
“Diversity Integrated with Academics and Leadership” is a diverse learning community
that provides information about differences, promotes understanding and facilitates
purposeful dialog across differences. This is a great opportunity for students to learn
more about themselves & others!
