Opened 2012 | Named after “Four Lakes” in Ho-Chunk
Having opened in 2012, Dejope Residence Hall is one of University Housing’s newest residence halls. Dejope is home to a mix of first-year and non-freshman residents, as well as Four Lakes Market (one of five dining markets on campus), classroom space, on-site academic advising, a Technology Learning Center (TLC), and a University Health Services (UHS) satellite office. This building features carpeted resident rooms with air conditioning and walk-in closets.
Dejope is the name that the Ho-Chunk and other American Indians have called the Madison area for thousands of years, meaning “Four Lakes” in the Ho-Chunk language. The building, which is located on the shore of Lake Mendota, also has an outdoor fire circle and terrace that you can enjoy. While Dejope may appear to be on the outskirts of campus, it is actually only a short walk to many class buildings, the UW Hospital, and Camp Randall Stadium.
