Wentz Hall
A page within Residence Life
Wentz Hall is one of the best kept secrets at UWL. Located centrally on campus and close to both Whitney Dining Center, Murphy Library, and the Center for the Arts, there are few places better or more convenient to live on campus.
Wentz Hall is a traditional, wing-style residence hall that is home to approximately 240 residents. Wing residence halls have long hallways with student rooms on either side. The term traditional means that residents in this building live in standard double rooms, with a shared bathroom facility.
Wentz Hall houses a mixture of first year students and upperclass students and is single-gendered by floor. There will be a community of first year students together on the third and fourth floors.
