All WashU first-year students live on campus. As a first-year, you’ll get to live in one of 10 residential communities on a part of campus we call the “South 40.”
Nicknamed “The 40” because it is forty acres located directly south of the Danforth Campus, this space is home to about 3,200 residents in 24 residence halls, as well as recreational space, computer clusters, campus eateries, and much, much more. “The 40” is a place to study, sleep, eat, relax, and form new friendships.
