Shively Hall, located within LaFollette Complex, offers a variety of room styles for up to 193 students. Residents have a variety of room arrangements to choose from, including singles, doubles, suites, and apartments.

In this hall, you'll find a diverse group of graduate, undergraduate, and nontraditional students. Many international students also call Shively home.
