The Commuter Lounge is located in the lower level of the Union, near the Game Arcade. The Commuter Lounge is like a home-away-from-home for commuter students, with a small kitchen and study area for you to relax in throughout the day! 

The Student Union strives to make a welcoming environment for everyone who enters our doors. On the first floor, across from the Credit Union, we have our Family Room! It is a private space available to parents who might need to nurse, pump, change a diaper, or simply take a break from the hustle and bustle of campus life. The Family Room is equipped with multiple seating options, a large countertop, as well as a sink.

The UW-La Crosse Veterans Center is the central hub for our veterans on campus. One of the biggest issues facing combat veterans is social isolation. Many of these combat veterans have difficulty adjusting to civilian life, especially adjusting to college. We have over 250 veterans on campus, many who have just recently returned from deployments around the world.

All are welcome to come check out the center anytime. See how we treat our brave men and women who have served our great nation in war and in peace. We stand ready to help those who have served transition back to civilian life.

The Center provides a relaxing place for veterans and their dependents to meet, receive the latest benefits information, coordinate with the Veterans Club, have workshops and meet with veterans service organizations. 

Students have access to a coffee maker, computers, comfortable couches, and a large lending library.

More information can be found on the Veteran Services webpage.
