Returning Residents & Current UW Students

Our room and dining plan rates are some of the lowest in the Big Ten. We take pride in minimizing our costs while providing an exceptional experience for all residents. The projected rates listed below are per resident, per academic year and include high-speed wireless internet, cable/streaming TV, appliances, furniture, utilities, staff, maintenance, and cleaning of bathrooms/common spaces.

• Residence Hall Room: $6,500 – $9,200 (rates vary, see full room room rates for details)
• Dining Plan: $3,800 – $5,400 (required for all residents)
  • Students select from one of three dining plan options based on their eating habits and how much they plan to dine on campus. Meals and Dining Dollars are loaded onto their Wiscard for food purchases.
  • All Housing dining markets will offer all-you-care-to-eat service in 2022-23.

Note: total costs of room and board for 2022-23, which include the room rate and required dining plan, remain similar to this year and can be calculated by:

• [Room Rate] + [Dining Plan Rate] = Total Room & Board Costs

• Sellery Residence Hall renovations will continue, though many parts of the building will be finished, including floor lounges, some resident floors, amenities on the first floor and lower level, and more.
• The 3rd and 4th floors of Faville, LaFollette, Noyes, Richardson, Siebecker, and Winslow Houses of Adams Residence Hall are reserved for language programs, and Korean House (K-House) will be added.
• Resident dining plans will be required for returning residents and current UW students living on-campus in 2022-23 and will be changing to a weekly dining plan for all residents and all-you-care-to-eat service at all locations.

• The Gender Inclusive Community will be moving from Merit Residence Hall to rooms 412-435 in Lowell. Residents in those rooms in Merit will not be able to return to their same room.
• Gender Inclusive Housing spaces will be available throughout the University Residence Halls in a variety of room types. Students who choose this option will be able to select a room space in Gender Inclusive Housing, including single rooms with a shared All Gender bathroom, or double rooms with a bathroom, triples, etc.
• High House in Tripp Residence Hall will return to being the Transfer House. Residents in High House may not be able to return to their same rooms.

Note: you may not be able to return to your same room if that room will be designated for Gender Inclusive Housing or was in Merit Residence Hall. In addition, some rooms in Ogg, Sellery, Smith, and Tripp Residence Halls will also change capacity. If you want to return to your same room and the capacity has changed, email our Assignment Office at assignMe@housing.wisc.edu for assistance.
