When you live on campus you can choose from all sorts of community activities. Connect with new friends, unplug from your studies and have fun!
UW Residential Life events are open to all University of Washington residents. Join us for events like cooking workshops, movie screenings, scavenger hunts and more. Almost all of our events are free! A variety of groups host UW Residential Life events, including the Residential Programming Board (RPB), Residence Education Programmer (REP) team and Residential Community Student Association (RCSA).
The Residential Community Student Association (RCSA) serves as the democratic voice of student residents and leads the residential community through promoting engagement, ownership, and advocacy. RCSA works together to help make a difference in the resident experience through striving to enrich student life and develop future leaders.
The Residence Education Programmers (REP) build community with residential students by facilitating events centered on academic success, wellness, and social justice and diversity. The team plans programs where students can connect with one another while also building skillsets aligned with these three pillars. The team plans 15-20 events per quarter.
The Residential Programming Board (RPB) builds community with residents across campus through implementing large-scale social programs. The team plans 25-30 fun, inclusive, and diverse events per quarter for residents to enjoy. Events include crafting, field trips, movie screenings and collaborative programs with UW community partners.
