Business Connect Learning Community
The Business Connect Learning Community is designed for first-year direct admits to the Wisconsin School of Business. Residents will explore leadership concepts in a supportive environment with fellow business majors who have similar interests and classes. Business Connect is located in Ogg Residence Hall, a popular building that is conveniently located near the Wisconsin School of Business in Grainger Hall.

How to Join
All items must be completed by your due date (May 1 for most admitted students). You can be assigned to any learning/theme community even if you did not preference it.
- Sign your University Residence Halls contract and submit your advance payment in My UW Housing.
- Rank the Business Connect Learning Community first when you submit your hall preferences in My UW Housing.
- Prioritize learning communities over residence halls when you submit your hall preferences in My UW Housing.
- Indicate if you want a random or preferred roommate in My UW Housing, and create/join a roommate group if you have a preferred roommate(s). Make sure all preferred roommates have matching preferences.
- Note: both students must be direct admit Wisconsin School of Business students to be eligible to live in Business Connect. If you select a roommate who is not a direct admit business student, you will be assigned to live with that roommate outside of Business Connect, since only direct admit business students are assigned to Business Connect.
