Life on campus, a story in three acts. The residence halls are grouped into three communities: Whitis Area, Waller Creek, and Jester. Each community has a different feel, and they all offer different chances for involvement, events, and leadership. So which one is best? It's all up to who you are, what you like, and where you want to be on campus.
Tucked in the northwest corner of campus, the Whitis Area is made up of several unique halls, from the elegant beauty of Littlefield (the oldest hall on campus) to the contemporary design of Duren. Whether you prefer the Honors halls in the Quad (Andrews, Blanton, and Carothers) or the all-female-power of Kinsolving and Littlefield, this is the kind of community where it's easy to find the home that's right for you.

It would be hard to say the residents of the Waller Creek community have more Texas pride than their fellow students, but it is telling that they choose to live in the shadow of the DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. Scattered along Waller Creek, these halls range from small and steeped in UT history (Brackenridge, Roberts, and Prather) to the big (San Jacinto). Creekside, located on the north side of campus, is the university's only remaining male-only hall.

Jester Center is kind of like UT itself - it's huge, but that also means it has everything and there are lots of opportunities to find friends, fun, and yourself. Two towers make up Jester on the south side of campus, close to the business school, the PCL, and the Blanton Museum. Jester is home to J2, the university's largest dining hall, as well as lecture classrooms and study rooms.
