Contracting Closes at 11:59pm Friday, May 1st.
As of 11:59pm on Friday, May 1, 2026, University Housing has stopped accepting Residence Hall Contracts for the 2026-2027 Academic Year. If you do not have a submitted contract or a submitted exemption at this time, you will be given an automatic exemption from the UWM Residency Requirement and may pursue other housing options through the Off-Campus Resource Center. We do acknowledge that we will have cancellations over the next coming months and encourage you to place yourself on our residence hall wait list through the Housing Portal if you still wish to live with us in University Housing. We will offer contracts based on the wait list as spaces become available.
Aerial view of RiverView Hall

With gorgeous views of its namesake, the Milwaukee River basin, RiverView is located on the west bank and offers students a bit of the serene after a day of study.

Residents here and at its sister hall, Cambridge Commons, are offered the “South Campus Experience,” which focuses on Exploring Milwaukee while also connecting with fellow scholars. RiverView houses not only students, but also artwork of fellow students, staff and members of the surrounding community. Artwork is prominently displayed on residence hall walls for everyone to enjoy. RiverView residents have the opportunity to utilize the Oak Leaf trail with easy access right outside. Additional resources are just a short walk across the street, including a grocery store, pharmacy, and an indoor climbing gym. Residents are also close to the same Milwaukee eateries and entertainment as Cambridge, just across the Milwaukee River bridge on North Avenue.
