University of Wisconsin-Stout Dorm Reviews

This will be my second year living in this hall, and so far I have loved my experience overall. The staff is always really nice and the floor itself is typically pretty clean. Cleanliness is more of a top priority. I also love how close my dorm is to all of my classes. Overall, I have had a pleasant experience living at this dorm, and I would recommend it to anyone planning on living in the dorms. more

Fleming Hall was very LGBT+ friendly, which is what caught my attention in the first place. I had been in another hall previously to this one, and did not enjoy my time there, while this hall felt like a breath of fresh air. It was clean, had a lot of space, it was accepting, and had adequate lighting which is something you don't really think about as important until you have a hall with bad lighting, it can seriously affect your mental well being. Overall, a great experience. more

It's a pretty good dorm so far! it is great for a first-year dorm because it is very centrally located on campus so it's easy to get around. my only complaint is it is a little old and the bathrooms are not the greatest. more

I am a freshman and it's COVID times so things are not as they usually would be. Move in was tightly structured, not a bad thing, but you only got 2 hours to move everything in with only your family to assist. It was barely enough time, especially since I had to rearrange the furniture and beds in my room. I started off with a room mate but he changed his mind at the last minute. Due to that I just kept the room but paid the extra fee to be a single. I am in a double extended room all by myself. It's nice to have the space, but also not nice since there is furniture for 3 people in here! This dorm was originally for females but because of the number of male students in a particular program they converted first floor of the dorm to be males - except not the bathroom; there are no urinals. The Common areas are fine except that everything is spaced for social distancing and you can't rent any equipment, etc. You can't even rent a vacuum this year and the doors to our rooms are always closed so I haven't met anyone. The laundry room and vending machines are convenient and paying with my Blue Card is easy. There is key card access at all entrances and an alarm goes off if a door is open too long. There are extra screens screwed into first floor windows for safety but that also prohibits them from being a fire escape. That's probably a fair trade. The WiFi is good as are the ethernet ports. There are enough outlets in my room and the temperature is good. The "dressers" and desks in my room are a little weird in that none really matched each other. The mattress is comfy and appeared clean and not worn. I like that each room comes with a microwave and fridge/freezer. I didn't get a chance to use any of the kitchen facilities due to COVID, but they looked pretty nice. There was a stove and fridge and a counter for people to sit at while you're cooking. I only really have two complaints - one, the desk surfaces are small and they are also kind of tall. Too tall for me to be seated comfortably on my office chair that I use so I bought a card table to use as my desk. Second, the room was REALLY dusty. I kept a fan on the floor running most of the time and didn't realize till I was cleaning up for Thanksgiving break that it was caked with dust. When I moved in I did notice some dust and debris coming out of an air vent, but didn't realize the volume it was putting out. This is an older dorm which has not been remodeled yet. I would still recommend it and it will probably be even better once it's updated. more

Red Cedar Hall has pros and cons. I think it's the most expensive lodging option and the rooms are small. Fans are a NECESSITY it gets super hot in there. You will be sharing a unit with up to 3 other people (but you will have your own room) so be prepared for that. As for the pros, the location is pretty good. It's right across the street from a cafeteria/gym and there is a bus stop right outside. The building is quiet and the fire alarms hardly go off. If you want a laid back college experience away from the bustle of the main campus then I would recommend. more

The rooms were bigger than I expected, which was very nice. The walls were also think so I didn’t have to hear everything going on in my neighbors room. It was generally clean and I never had any issues more

I stayed in Froggatt Hall last year as a freshman and this year as a sophomore, and I can say that my experience has been mainly positive. There is nothing special about this hall relative to others, but the thing that really sets it apart from the others is its location in the heart of campus. I was also fortunate enough to get a few of a nice tree popular with the many squirrels that run around here as well as a sand volleyball court. If anyone is worried about living on the first floor and people being able to see into your dorm easily, I can say now not to worry about it. The window is about seven feet up and people mind their own business here. more

North hall is an updated housing option on the southern half of campus, right in the middle between the hill where the humanities and sciences buildings are, and the bottom of the hill near the memorial student center and art and engineering buildings. Elevator accessible, with air controlled rooms, create a nice living experience. One kitchen and laundry room per floor and one large kitchen in the basement for larger endeavors. A living community on the fourth floor for LGBT+ students on campus is available and as someone living in that community space, it is very welcoming and relaxed. more

Bathrooms and common areas were newly renovated, so they were really nice and were kept clean. The only downside is that it is the farthest dorm away from campus, but because of that, it wasn't very noisy outside. Plus, the campus bus runs from North to South campus, so you don't always have to walk. more

Not that bad of a dorm hall. It is really outdated along with it being not great for people who have disability/mobility issues. This is my second year living here, its age is showing for sure. Found things in the rooms that werent supposed to be there and other things that make the hall not the best to live in. more

I like it! I have a really good RA and the common area(The basement) is a really good place to meet new people! The building itself is clean and is upkept fairly well! The bathrooms are probably the most lacking but they are cleaned daily and I have a few messy girls on my floor. more
