The residential areas at Washington University in St. Louis consist of the “South 40” and the “North Side”.  The South 40, located directly south of the Danforth Campus, consists of twenty two residence halls.  Beautifully landscaped areas surround the residence halls and provide guests with grassy areas to play frisbee, hold outdoor gatherings, or simply enjoy the fresh air!

The North Side

The North Side, located at the northwest corner of the Danforth Campus, is home to upperclassmen during the academic year.  Housing options are much more varied on the North Side than in the South 40.  The Village residence halls are located on the North Side along with on-campus apartments which include Village East and Millbrook Apartments.  During the summer, Millbrook pool is a popular spot to enjoy the summer weather.

The South Forty

The South Forty, located on the south corner of campus, is home to the underclassmen during the academic year. The South Forty consists of modern and traditional buildings.  The South Forty is home to the Swamp, Risa Commons, and the SPCS office.

Suite/Room Furnishings

The residence hall rooms are furnished with a twin bed (Village East rooms contain a full bed), dresser, desk and chair, and closet.  The furnishings provided vary between buildings.  Linen packages are available for a small fee and include a pillow, a lightweight blanket, two sheets, two towels, two washcloths, and a bar of soap.  Please see the Summer Housing of our website to learn more about what to bring for your stay at Washington University in St. Louis.
