Where the heck is Hansee Hall?
Many students at the University, even those who pass by Hansee every day, don't even know!
Hansee Hall is located at the far north end of campus, just west of McCarty Hall. Klickitat Lane, a path between Hutchinson Hall and NE 45th St. borders Hansee to the west.
See Hansee on a map.
Students live there? How many?
Yes 325 students live in Hansee.
What is the "Russian House"?
The Russian House, known to most of the University community as 2104 House, is a non-traditional residence Hall. Located at 2104 NE 45th St,
the 20 students who live in 2104 live in a communal setting (more like a traditional apartment) and are members of Hansee Action! (the Hansee hall council).
2104 has both single and double rooms available. Read more about the history of 2104 house here.
I've heard that Hansee is a 24-hour quiet hall, doesn't that suck?
Not at all! Hansee does have 24-hour "courtesy hours", but it doesn't mean that you have to be silent. Also, it's nice to be able to escape from the chaos of other dorms.
Is Hansee really haunted??
As the oldest residence hall on campus, Hansee's got more than it's fair share of history. Rumor has it that Hansee is haunted by not one, but TWO ghosts.
Isn't it more expensive and anti-social to live in a single room?
It's more expensive to live in a single room anywhere on campus, but singles in Hansee are bigger than some double rooms on campus, and you get a whole lot more!
Hansee has four huge lounges, two large TV rooms, a game room, two ballrooms, 4 grand pianos, and 12 kitchens, plus a lot more.
Also, Hansee does not only have single rooms - if you'd prefer to have a roomate, there are 4 quads and a triple located on the first floor.
Why should I want to live in Hansee?
Hansee has a great community, striking Tudor architecture, awesome rooms, and is close to everything (the Ave, University Village, campus, and more).
How can I meet more people in Hansee?
Many international students live in Hansee, making it an awesome place to meet lots of different types of people.
The easiest way to meet new people is simply to leave your door open. You'd be amazed at how many people will stop by to say "hello"!
You can also meet people who live in Hansee by attending programs put on by the RAs or the Hall Council,
or by hanging out in one of the lounges.
What kinds of programs can I participate in?
In addition to the programs put on by your RA to help you meet people on your floor, Hansee's hall council puts on a ton of programs every month designed
to help you meet people from all around Hansee. Some of our most popular events include our monthly movie nights (complete with free snacks!),
Hansee Haunted House, Hall Ball, and potlucks. Check out the events page for more information!
How can I meet more people from outside Hansee?
There are many ways to meet people from the other residence halls and the greater campus community. The
Residence Hall Student Association (RHSA)
can help introduce you to other residence hall students across campus. Other residence hall organizations, such as SEED and the National Residence Hall
Honorary (NRHH) link students together based on common interests. Stop by the Hansee Advisory or the
McCarty Leadership Office (334B McCarty Hall) for more information on these and other groups.
Another way to meet people on campus is through the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW).
ASUW links students from the halls, the Greek system, and commuters.
Tell me more about these acronyms.
Coming soon!
How can I get more information?
If you can't find the answers you want on this webpage, email hansee@u.washington.edu or stop by the Hansee Advisory (located near the main
entrance to Hansee Hall) between 1-5 PM Monday-Friday.
