Pocket guide to student housing in Madison
Madison, Wisconsin, is a major student destination known for the University of Wisconsin–Madison, strong research programs, and a lively cultural scene centered around lakes, museums, music, and public events. The city attracts undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as international, Erasmus, and exchange students.
