Are the UW Residences safe?
Staff at the Department of Housing and Residences take the safety of students living in residence very seriously. All facilities have been designed for safety and security. Buildings, houses, and floors are locked and students must have a key to get in. Students are encouraged to practice basic security measures, including locking their door when they are not at home or when they’re asleep and not holding exterior doors open for non-residents.
