Future ResidentsAmenities
Our residence halls are packed with the amenities and features you'll need to thrive and succeed here at the University of Texas.
Security
Access into the residential areas of each hall is controlled 24 hours a day with swipe card readers, using the resident's University of Texas ID card. Guests must be escorted at all times.
DHFS has developed fire safety rules to ensure a safe living experience for all residents. Just in case, fire safety devices such as smoke alarms and sprinkler systems are installed in each hall.
Furnished Rooms
Rooms in the residence halls vary in shape and size. All are furnished; some furniture is movable and some furniture is built in.
All of the rooms come fully furnished with beds, desks, chairs and a MicroFridge. Most rooms come with extra-long twin beds.
MicroFridge
Not quite sure what a MicroFridge is? Is it a really, really small refrigerator?
No, it is a combination microwave oven and refrigerator, both of which are perfectly sized for student living. It is just what you need for storing and heating up all of your munchies.
Best of all, we put one in every room so you won't have to run all over town to track one down, or lug one from home!
Community Living
A community atmosphere quickly develops in each hall with the help of the Resident Assistants that live on each floor.
The residents in each hall establish their own visitation and quiet hours (with guidelines).
Trained and attentive RAs are always available to listen to resident's issues and provide caring advice and counseling
Study Lounges
Each residence hall is provided with ample lounges for kicking back and watching TV, studying for the next exam, or just relaxing with some tunes from the piano. Most study lounges have internet access and some have wireless internet access.
Computer Labs
Computer labs (equipped with PC computers) are located in the residence halls for exclusive use by residents. They are open 24 hours a day and some are staffed with personnel to assist you.
Laser printers are available to use for a small per print charge. The print charge is deducted from your Bevo Bucks.
Wired Rooms
Each room in all of our halls has: two ethernet ports connected to the campus network and the internet (subscription to ResNet required). Rooms also include extended cable TV service (including the latest video releases on the DHFS movie channel).
You'll need to bring your own computer and TV of course.
Wireless Access
Many of the common areas within the residence halls are equipped with wireless access points to the Public Network of UTnet, the University's computer network. These wireless access points enable you to access University computer resources and the Internet from the common areas on campus using network-capable laptops and portable devices.

Our markets are packed with the convenience items and goodies you want and need! They are really mini grocery stores.

Fitness Facilities
Each of our residence halls are located a short walk or jog to UT's fantastic workout facilities (Gregory Gym and the Recreational Sports Center). When living on campus you are more likely to visit these facilities.
On those days when you just cannot make the "trek" to exercise, a few of our Halls have fitness centers equipped to give you a good work out without leaving the building!
Need a Roommate
We offer the Profiler Roommate Matching system for your voluntary use.
By answering a few questions on your personal habits and preferences, you can find other residents with similar interests. It is up to you to make contact and enter each others EIDs as your roommate preference.
