Residence Hall Tours

Prospective Student Tours

University Housing offers guided in-person tours for prospective future UW–Madison students and their guests.

To take a tour, log in and register at the UW–Madison Office of Admissions & Recruitment’s Visit Bucky page.

University Housing Ambassadors — current UW students — will be your guide, leading you through the Lakeshore neighborhood to see a common first-year student room. Next, tour groups will explore Four Lakes Market, located on the shore of Lake Mendota. Along the way, your Housing Ambassador will talk about all the resources University Housing has to offer new Badgers, such as:

• Dining and Culinary Services
• Student and professional staff members for resident support
• Student employment opportunities
• Hall and campus involvement opportunities
• Residential learning and theme communities
• Academic programs and University Housing tutors
• And much more!

University Housing is dedicated to being the place where everyone wants to live — and we’d love to show you why.
