Welcome to
University Housing
We're delighted that you're interested in making the University Residence Halls your home at the University of Wisconsin - Madison!
Even though each residence hall has unique qualities based on its architecture, size, and location, your living experience is ultimately shaped by the residents who live there. Each hall's "personality" changes every year based on the residents' contributions to their community.
No matter which University Residence Hall becomes your home, you will have the opportunity to:
- learn about the people, places, and events that make up the UW-Madison campus and build personal connections to the University and the community;
- discover your personal values, strengths, and interests;
- strengthen your understanding of your own and other cultures, beliefs, and life styles;
- develop skills in leadership, group participation, and interpersonal communication;
- develop effective citizenship skills and an understanding and appreciation of the importance of civic responsibility.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the University Residence Halls including public areas such as dens, hallways, and bathrooms as well as student rooms.
University Residence Halls
The University Residence Halls are divided into smaller units called "houses" where 50 to 80 residents live and form a community. The tradition of the "house" as the nucleus of the community is a unique feature of the University Residence Halls. Since the earliest days of on-campus housing, student peer advisors called House Fellows have lived among the students, fostering a sense of community and self-government. Most students share a double room with one other student. All students share same-gender bathroom facilities conveniently located on each residence hall floor.
