Well after first year you do not have to live in university housing, and I will have a room with three friends in an off campus apartment that is much cheaper. Also I found a job up there and have been saving money this year. @madison85
UW-Madison has no requirement about living in a university residence hall the first year @ktmack23 - not sure what you are referring to.
@madison85 I believe they do if you are not living with your parents or something. But regardless I didn’t have anyone to get an apartment with last year to avoid university housing and now I do, and I am just in general in a much better financial position than I was last year regardless of the university policies.
Nope - no requirement to live in a residence hall at UW-Madison. Any freshman can live anywhere- in a dorm, with parents, in an apartment, under a rock, on a boat, in a tree house.
Let’s avoid misinformation @ktmack23

Last sentence, first paragraph: There is no on-campus living requirement, yet more than 7,400 students choose to live with us each year.
I can’t believe you guys have heard already. Lucky!!
Everything rides on this acceptance for me…if I don’t get in I will have to drop out of college. Unless UWM allows for rolling admissions?
I apologize, thanks for correcting me. @Madison85

What are your stats? Congrats that’s awesome!
They had all my materials mid-feb. Granted, they had some of my materials already on hand because I applied as an incoming freshman so they were waiting on less.
If we sent in our application/materials last minute, do you think we’re going to have to wait until April? I don’t think I can wait that long.
All my materials were received by February 20th I think…I just want to know if I got in.

Whoah been a while since I checked on this, does anybody know when the next wave of decisions will arrive? And will we get an email once the decision has been made?
