Student Employment

Welcome to University Housing student employment!

It might be hard to imagine, but approximately 2,000 students have jobs with the University Residence Halls. Our student employees discover that working part-time makes the transition to college easier. A work schedule of about 10 hours per week provides some structure to help you keep on top of academic responsibilities and balance your time during the week.

In fact, campus data reveals a secret: UW-Madison students who work a part-time job do better academically than students who choose not to work. Surprise!

At Housing, we have experience with a student workforce and know that academics are your top priority. Along with studying, a job is a great way to become an important part of things happening here. Many lifelong friendships begin on the job. Working also helps you develop a good reputation on campus, which will jumpstart your future applications for internships, co-ops, and advanced-level jobs that require an employment reference.
