Students who want the convenience and security of a residence hall with the flexibility of off-campus housing will have a new option starting in the fall of 2017.<\/p>\n

UWM is converting the RiverView Residence Hall into independent housing for upper-level students.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents were telling us that they wanted more options,\u201d said Kelly Haag, director of University Housing. \u201cMoving off campus after your first year is often seen as a rite of passage, but we kept hearing that our students wanted that \u2018in-between\u2019 experience. We think this finds the right balance and will be a big draw.\u201d<\/p>\n

RiverView will combine the best features of residence halls and apartment-style living with co-ed suites, kitchens in which students can cook their own meals, access to Milwaukee\u2019s East Side, and the convenience of services found in other UWM residence halls.<\/p>\n

Samantha Werner, who lived in RiverView when she was a student and now works in University Housing, said she loved the location, with a grocery store across the street, many restaurants nearby, and proximity to local landmarks like Landmark Bowling and Ma Baensch\u2019s seafood company.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving at RiverView helped me develop my identity as Milwaukee resident, not just a UWM student,\u201d Werner said.<\/p>\n

The changes to RiverView respond to student surveys that show a desire for more independence and choice, according to Haig. For example, without a required meal plan, students with a wide range of dietary preferences can eat what they like. Two kitchen areas will be installed on each floor, and residents can keep individual mini-refrigerators in their rooms.<\/p>\n

At the same time, students who want a university meal plan have several options available with a dining room located across the river at Cambridge Commons.<\/p>\n

Students also will have choice in their room arrangements in RiverView. Typical suites will consist of one double and one single room with the three students sharing a bathroom. However, students who sign up as a group can opt for double occupancy in both rooms. Students who sign up as a group also can request a co-ed suite, with residents of both sexes sharing a bathroom.<\/p>\n

UWM provides shuttle service to and from RiverView, and students can use their U-Pass on Milwaukee County buses. RiverView also has 40 parking spots for rent.<\/p>\n

The new RiverView will be open to transfer students and continuing UWM students. To participate in self-assignment, students should complete their University Housing Contract for 2017-18 and check their self-assignment appointment time at www.uwm.edu\/myhousing<\/a>.<\/p>\n
