Why Live On Campus?

You have a few different options when it comes to choosing where to live during your time as a Badger. You can stay with your parents or family in the area, rent an off-campus apartment nearby, or live on campus!

Community 
  • Develop healthy peer relationships and interpersonal skills in on-campus housing. College friendships can last a lifetime!
  • Meet students from around the globe with a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.
  • Be a Badger! On-Campus Housing is more than a bed, we offer an experience. Feel connected and a part of a larger community on campus.
Convenience
  • All Residence Halls are located right next to campus. Easily get to class in less than 5 minutes.
  • Take advantage of payment options for all college expenses. Housing and meal plan rates are billed to your student account as tuition.
  • Inclusive pricing covers everything in the Residence Halls! Utilities, internet, parking, and laundry are free/included in our on-campus housing rates.
  • Cooking & non-cooking options with flexible meal plans allow you to purchase a housing and meal package that fits your needs.
Safety & Security
  • Keycard only entrances, well-lit building exteriors and parking lots, security cameras in public areas, and Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) allow for peace of mind.
  • Need after hours assistance? A Resident Director is on-call 24/7 and Resident Assistants are on-duty every evening beginning at 8pm, available to help students with anything.
  • Surfaces in public areas are disinfected daily by our custodial professionals to help prevent the spread of germs. 
Supportive & Fun!
  • Social activities, planned by RAs with residents' interests in mind, build an engaging and social atmosphere in the on-campus housing communities.
  • Professional and friendly office staff are here to help you at college. Visit us in the Office of Residence Life anytime for any reason!
  • RAs & RDs are trained on everything from conflict mediation to mental health support as part of our mission to educate and help students outside the classroom.
