State Street Out the Door

Coffee at Colectivo, dinner with the floor, late nights that start on a whim. State Street runs from the Capitol to campus, packed with food, shops, and bars, and it's right outside the door.

Campus Down the Block

Memorial Library for the heads-down stretches, the University Bookstore for game-day everything, and the Memorial Union and lecture halls just minutes away — even in the snow.

The Best Corner of Madison

A few blocks north, Madison opens onto Lake Mendota. Enjoy sunsets on the Terrace, walks along the water, and the kind of view that makes people fall for this city. Four years here, and the lake never gets old.
