Steps from Philbrook Dining, Williamson Hall is the host to our First Year Experience with programs and events geared to new Wildcats so you can get the most out of UNH. It might be big but each floor is small, allowing communities to develop and strong friendships to be made. Williamson also offer 2B as Gender Inclusive Housing!
The duty desk in the lobby provides everything from directions to class to games and cooking supplies. Visit the desk between 8AM to 10PM! Throughout the winter you will often find friends gathered around the main lounge fireplace.

First Year Students Only
Residence halls with all first-year communities have an environment that is supportive and safe for first-year students transitioning into college. Everyone is going through similar struggles, asking similar questions and our staff is available to build community, connect them to campus resources, and help them make the most of their first year of college! Many of these students are taking similar classes as well. Living here gives students the convenience of forming study groups, meeting lots of first-year students, and attending many community building events and hall discussions geared to their specific needs as new wildcats!
Gender Inclusive Housing
Incoming first-year students, may choose to share a room with someone of any gender identity that is most comfortable and appropriate to their own identity. All LGBTQIA+ students and allies, committed to creating a safe and affirming living environment, are welcomed and encouraged to select this community.
