University of Wisconsin Dorm Reviews

🧐 What do students think about the dorms at University of Wisconsin?

Witte Residence Hall

15 Reviews

I enjoy being at Witte, but a lot of it comes for the people and where it's located. It's an easy walk to all my classes. This is not a dorm for people who can't deal with it being a least a little loud at all times more

Chadbourne

6 Reviews

I have met a lot of friends in Chadbourne, and almost everyone is friendly and nice. The dorm is quiet for the Southeast Neighborhood but the location is the best. Connected to Rheta's Market allows for convenient access to food without venturing outside in the winter. more

Chadbourne Residence Hall

6 Reviews

Overall, it has been a fun experience living here. We are basically central to the campus, so it's really easy to get to any class. I like how Chad is a mixture of quiet but fun, making it easy to socialize or enjoy some quiet time. more

Sellery Hall

5 Reviews

While I stayed at Sellery Hall, it was under renovation, so many students were crammed into larger rooms turned into dorms. During my first semester, I lived in one of the larger cramped rooms with five other roommates. We were all different people, but we got along enough. We made it a priority to communicate our feelings honestly and politely, and that helped a lot. However, our room was pretty gross. The ceiling would shed mysterious flakes and fluids, and maintenance would shove rages into the crevices to make it stop. It almost felt like a joke. The second semester, the six our us were split up into three groups of two and moved up a floor into the newly renovated rooms. The size of the three different doubles varied an unfair amount, but you can do nothing about it. The newly renovated rooms were so clean and nice, though. Through it all, there was always the ear-piercing sound of construction on the floors directly above and below us. more

Sellery

4 Reviews

It is a party dorm. It is in the center of the city, it is noisy and loud. When I lived there, it was old and run down, but Witte was nice. Now Sellery is getting a facelift, and it should be the most desired dorm on campus. It is so fun and social, and encompasses the college experience. more

Tripp

4 Reviews

Extremely quiet dorm. If you want somewhere to party, this is not the place, but if you want somewhere quiet and serene to focus on studies, Tripp is perfect. It has all single dorms so you're almost guaranteed not to have a roommate, but that comes at the cost of an almost non existent social scene. I barely knew the people living on my hall, and dorm events never had anyone show up. Overall, I enjoyed it, because I don't like parties or being super social. more

Witte

3 Reviews

It was super loud, not near nature, mostly drunk party dorm. Found an opened condom in the elevator one weekend. People would come backs super late and wake me up all the time. Many different types of people, but this was my floor that I found. Personally I would've lived in lakeshore if I had to do it over again. more

Smith

Nice rooms, very spacious for a triple. Bathrooms can be a bit annoying sometimes with only one toilet and shower. Hallways are very quiet at night. Lots of studying and not very many big parties. Overall satisfactory experience. more

Cole Residence hall

3 Reviews

I had a ton of fun living in Cole. I made a lot of friends, the rooms were pretty big, and it is in a quiet area right next to the lake. Some of the downsides are that there is no air conditioning and there are a lot of people that need to share each bathroom. more

Ogg Residence Hall

3 Reviews

It can get pretty lousy during the weekend. The only thing I dislike currently is construction across the street that prevent us from using the sidewalk. It is a pretty close location to my current classes so that is a plus. And the bus stop right outside the entrance is another plus. more

Adams Residence Hall

3 Reviews

Living in Adams was a great experience. The dorm has single rooms and bathrooms that are shared by the entire floor. The dorm was very quiet. Also, Adams is home of the international learning community and I was able to meet lots of interesting people from across the world. more

Bradley

3 Reviews

My experience at Bradley was very good. Although the cleanliness could have been better, the staff and people were very friendly and it was a great location on campus. It was very peaceful outside with a lot of outdoor activity options. Overall it was a great dorm experience for my first year of college. more

Kronshage

3 Reviews

Kronshage can be a very fun place to be. The first couple of weeks I was there were amazing. Because it is split into smaller buildings, my building felt comfortable. Unfortunately, Kronshage also has a couple of major downsides. One is that it shines most when the weather is nice. There is a lot of green space and cool places to walk, but in the winter this does not matter much. As soon at the weather got better we had to leave the dorms because of COVID. Also, it was hard to make friends with people in the building that weren't on my floor because no one ever used our common room. At the end of the day, Kronshage is a fine dorm. Nothing special, but also not a complete dumpster. more

Cole

3 Reviews

Cole is a quiet lakeshore dorm, there isn't too much going on. It's out of date inside but really close to the dining hall and lake which is nice. I've met a lot of great people here. It is a little far from classes but manageable, during the weekdays the buses come through about every 5 minutes. more

Liz Waters

2 Reviews

I was only there for a month and a half because I didn't want to waste thousands of dollars on a campus I never explore (COVID). While I was living in Waters, I managed to have a somewhat satisfying time. My meal plan was good, the showers were clean enough, and the space of the dorm room was decent for two people. more

Slichter

2 Reviews

It’s very quiet in this building, but people are still friendly. Everyone props their doors open so that you can meet people as they walk by the room. Overall, the community is very inviting and although the city is a little bit of a walk, it’s totally worth it. more

Waters Residence Hall

2 Reviews

It was great for studying and making friends. I liked the learning community for women in science. They were very helpful in my experience at the school. I made connections with faculty women who could help me in my research area. more

Leopold

2 Reviews

Leopold was an awesome dorm to have as Freshman. There is a greenhouse in the dorm on the top floor. There’s a common a lounge area on each floor with a tv, kitchen, couches, chairs and desks. The laundry and dish sink is located downstairs, which was a little inconvenient when it came to washing dishes. The rooms themselves were very spacious. I had walk in closets, air conditioning, plenty of built in storage and a large window. The bathrooms are shared with your half of the hall, so it was only about 8-9 other people who use the same bathroom as you. The cost of the room is on the higher end, but it’s still an amazing dorm to have! more

Slichter Residence Hall

2 Reviews

Very old residence hall. The heat is super high in the winter; get a humidifier before you leave blood stains on the carpet (not that anyone can see them). The bathroom rating would be higher if people could stop washing their dishes in the communal bathroom sink (I was on the first floor, the kitchen is on the second floor). The elevator has a gate and not a door. It's also super slow. They say that the dorm is close to Carson's but there is nothing good to eat at Carson's and Dejope is the better choice to eat at. I had a toaster under my desk, the RA never noticed or cared. Warning: despite the fact that the kitchen is in its own room with no smoke detectors, people will still set off the fire alarms with the toaster in the kitchen :) Also the oven was broken a lot and if you hit it hard enough it will work for a while. more

Kronshage Residence Hall

2 Reviews

Kronshage Residence Hall was a fine dorm to live in. It located in the Lakeshore section of dorms, which means it is a little farther from the main section of campus. It is a little closer to some classes though. Kronshage is an older dorm so the amenities weren't the greatest, but it is very close to the dining hall Four Lakes (located in Dejope) which is extremely nice and remodeled. It is also very quiet in Kronshage. When I lived there each floor housed only boys or girls. This made meeting others in the dorms a little challenging as I would Kronshage is not a very social dorm. more
