Welcome to Hathorn Hall

Hathorn Hall is located in the center of campus and houses approximately 350 students. Students one year post-high school graduation by their move in date are eligible to live in Hathorn. The hall is co-ed and the breakdown of gender is determined by the bathrooms in the area. Many bathrooms are community-style within a single-gender wing. A few bathrooms in Hathorn Center are fully private and the wing will be gender by room, meaning two men may live in a room next to two women.

Nearby, students will find parking lot N, a sand volleyball court, the Falcon Center, University Center and several academic buildings. Campus trails and South Fork of the Kinnickinnic River are also nearby. Hathorn Hall was the first residence hall at UWRF and is named after former academic dean Irma Hathorn.

The Hathorn Mail Center and Residence Life's offices are located in a lower level of Hathorn Hall.
