Living on campus is an essential part of the undergraduate experience at UW-Madison, and University Housing provides an environment that is built for your success. We offer unique communities full of resources, support, convenient services, events, and thousands of fellow Badgers. Options include traditional residence halls, focused learning communities, and affinity communities with some of the lowest on-campus housing rates in the Big Ten. Each year, over 90 percent of UW-Madison’s first-year class chooses to live with us to jumpstart their Wisconsin Experience, and many return for a second year and beyond.
