Bradley Residence Hall

The only exclusively freshmen residence hall on campus, Bradley Residence Hall is a popular option for many students embarking on their Wisconsin Experience at UW-Madison. Bradley is home to the Bradley Learning Community, which focuses on the transition from high school to being a Badger. This high-energy community offers daily events that always give residents something to do when they’re out of the classroom. Did we mention that many of these events involve awesome trips and direct, small group contact with faculty from across campus? Because they do.

Bradley is located across the street from the Four Lakes Market (one of five dining markets on campus), tutoring services, a satellite clinic for University Health Services, and a technology learning center all housed within Dejope Residence Hall. Bradley is also nestled right up against beautiful Lake Mendota and green space utilized for many Recreation & Wellbeing sponsored activities. Around 60 percent of residents who live here as a freshman choose to return to University Housing for a second year, and if that doesn’t say something great about the experience that residents have while living here, we don’t know what will!

Heating & Cooling

Heating

Bradley thermostat

In Bradley, hot water is pumped through convector units near the window in your room for heat. During heating season, our goal is to keep your room at a comfortable range from 65 – 75 °F. A knob (see photo) in resident rooms controls the heat in resident rooms. To increase heat, turn the dial left (counterclockwise) and right (clockwise) to decrease heat.

Cooling

In Bradley, air-conditioning is only provided in common areas such as dens, lounges, and kitchens. Window unit air-conditioners are provided in resident rooms for medical needs only. Air conditioners have separate digital or turn knob controls for fan speed and cooler/warmer air.

Tips

Try small adjustments first to avoid overheating/cooling
Do not push furniture, bedding, or belongings against convectors as this could block airflow
When in your room during the heating season, open curtains and blinds during the day to allow the sun to warm the room naturally and prevent air from being trapped against the window, and close them at night to decrease drafts — during the cooling season, do the reverse
Keep doors and windows closed when the heat or air conditioning is on
Consider using blankets and sweaters instead of turning up the heat
When possible, keep the room door open to promote air movement and introduce fresh air
Take wet clothing or towels to a laundry room to be washed/dried ASAP to reduce moisture
Run a fan to help circulate air
Fish tanks, plants, humidifiers, and diffusers can contribute to humidity/moisture levels in your room
