Hello everyone! I'm considering applying to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) and I'm trying to get an idea of the real cost of attendance. Can anyone give me a breakdown of the housing costs at UWM? Does the cost vary depending on dorms or room types? I'd appreciate any insights!
Hello! Housing costs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) can indeed vary depending on the residence hall and room type you choose. Generally, you can expect on-campus housing to range from around $4,000 to $9,000 per academic year. Keep in mind these figures are estimates and may change slightly from year to year.
There are several residence halls at UWM, including Cambridge Commons, Kenilworth Square Apartments, Purin Hall, RiverView Residence Hall, and Sandburg Hall. Each residence hall offers distinct features, amenities, and room types, such as single, double, triple, or quad occupancy rooms, as well as suite and apartment-style living options.
In addition to your desired room type, there may be other fees and costs involved in on-campus living. For example, UWM requires students living in on-campus housing to have a meal plan, which varies in price depending on the plan you choose.
It is worth checking the UWM housing website for the most up-to-date information on housing rates, as well as a detailed breakdown of the features and amenities for each residence hall. Additionally, UWM offers a net price calculator that can help you estimate the overall cost of attendance, including tuition and fees, housing, and other costs such as books and personal expenses.
I hope this information helps you in deciding whether to apply to UWM and planning for your housing expenses!
