Residency Requirement
Living on campus is a great way to meet new people, experience Milwaukee events, and have the convenience of all campus resources nearby. Nearly all first-year and second-year students live on campus in our residence halls. All unmarried first-year and second-year students under 21 live in one of our residence halls unless their primary residence is within 30 miles of campus. Students completing their residency requirement receive the unlimited meal plan.
