Best UW-Madison Dorms for Freshmen

UW Madison: Living in the Lakeshore Neighbourhood

The University of Wisconsin–Madison is a public land-grant research university in Madison, Wisconsin.

There are a variety of housing options at UW-Madison. Residence Halls are primarily divided up into two areas: Lakeshore and Southeast. Made up of 13 dormitories, the Lakeshore neighborhood is perfect for nature lovers. It features breathtaking views of Lake Mendota, easy access to the Lakeshore Nature Path, and many outdoor recreational spaces. The Southeast neighborhood offers a more “urban” feel, with high rise dormitories and its close proximity to downtown Madison. Southeast dorms are also known to be more social in comparison to Lakeshore dorms. Students have the option to choose from all types of rooms and configurations, ranging from singles to quads.
