Housing Options in Madison
There are number of housing options available to SEASSI students, including
on-campus dormitory dorms, privately owned dormitory rooms and privately
owned apartment rentals. Each offers a different mix of convenience,
affordability, and flexibility. There are only a limited number of on-campus
dorm rooms, but there are usually plenty of off-campus apartment rooms
for sublease.
On campus housing
On campus dormitory housing in Merit House and Susan B. Davis House are dormitories that will be completely reserved for students taking classes for academic credit. They will be available to SEASSI participants for summer on a first come, first served basis through the University Residence Halls. Room rates range from approximately $830 to $1050. More information and an application form can be downloaded at the University Residence Hall website. Susan B. Davis House and Merit House do not offer cafeteria-style meal plans for summer session students, but do offer shared cooking facilities on each floor. You will need to bring your own pots, pans, and other cooking utensils.
Privately owned dormitory rooms
Private residence halls are residence hall (dormitory) living arrangements
that are owned and operated by the private sector. Application procedures
and lease agreements are solely the responsibility of the student renter,
not the University. Many include a meal plan. For information on Private
Residence Halls in Madison, write or call the halls directly. Applications
are not available through the mail from the SEASSI Office or the UW-Madison
Campus Information and Visitor Center. Below is a list of some of the
most popular private dorms in Madison as well as a link to a map showing

Privately owned apartment rentals
The UW-Madison Campus
Assistance and Visitor Center has a convenient search engine where
you can search for off-campus rental housing (sublets). The website
has online listings of privately owned apartments, houses and rooms
for sub-lease, as well as consumer rental information. For further information,
call the Campus Assistance Center at (608) 263-2400. There are also
various other websites unaffiliated with the university where you can
search for sublets such as BadgerSublets.
Please be aware that most off-campus students either walk, bike or bus
to campus.
