The room was nice and clean. The building is newer so generally it is nicer to live in compared to other dorms. The location is a little far from classes but being next to the gym, a dining hall, and state street is really nice.

Loud at night, dirty bathrooms, but good location. Close to Gordon’s and the nic. Basement is nice but rooms are small.

Never a dull moment in Witte. Still plenty of quiet to study in the lounge and basement. Little far from class but right next to the bus stop and closest to the restaurants and state street. You will not regret choosing Witte for sure

Beautiful building, solid room-size, the newest of all the dorms Wisconsin has to offer. There's never not something going on- it's a very social dorm so you have to put little effort into making new friends. I loved living in Witte- an even bigger plus is the fact that we had AC, onsite laundry, and a really nice kitchen. Would definitely recommend to all freshmen!
