Smith Residence Hall, which opened in 2006, is home to a blend of first-year and non-freshman residents. Smith residents can take advantage of enhanced hall services such as a Technology Learning Center (TLC), a classroom on the first floor, a full-service Starbucks (opening fall 2020), and a private soundproof music practice room, as well as desk services. The residence hall also has a variety of room types that range from singles with private bathrooms to doubles and triples.
Smith rooms are large and equipped with large closets, air conditioning, and high ceilings. Some rooms even have views of downtown that catch a glimpse of the Wisconsin State Capitol Building and Camp Randall Stadium if you’re lucky enough. Smith is just a few blocks from Gordon Avenue Market, which offers more dining options.
