From Gordons to State Street, Witte to the Hub, the way in which students view the University of Wisconsin-Madison is greatly impacted by the place in which they live. A naive freshman immediately feels overwhelmed by the immensity of this institution as they are swarmed by thousands of students walking from place to place. The community that is created by freshmen dorms allows for these intimidated individuals to make a large campus feel a little bit smaller.
Freshman Elliot Seals signed a lease on Oct. 20 but won’t be moving in until Aug. 18, almost 10 months later. He’s not the only one who signed his lease this early — just under two months after move-in week, students are already signing leases and preparing for the start of next year. Signing leases early is simply part of Madison’s culture, students say, though many have questioned why this is the case.
“I've been putting my whole life online for eight years,” said Paris Boswell, the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s most renowned internet star. “It seeps into every aspect of my life even when I don't think it will — I’ll meet someone new at a party and talk to them and then 10 minutes later they're like, ‘Oh by the way, I've seen your videos.’ It's like they know you, and you don't know them, and that's a weird feeling.”
Picture this: you’re walking into your dorm building as a bright-eyed freshman, excited to acclimate yourself to living away from home and learning to be an adult. What you don’t know is that you won’t be living in your building alone. And no, I don’t mean with your roommate.

When we get to college, it’s easy to assume that everything will go smoothly. We’ve heard so much about the “college experience” in movies, we hear about our parents’ “good old days” and we look on social media and see people seemingly having the time of their lives. But what we don’t hear about so often is that college is truly a huge transition. It requires a new sense of independence — whether it be doing your laundry weekly or making sure to set a reminder in your phone for that student org meeting.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit my hometown of Boulder, Colo., I was a senior in high school. Prior to March 12, 2020, my mind was occupied with the upcoming end-of-year events that celebrated the culmination of my primary education. Then, the whole world changed. I came to the realization that everything I had been dreaming of since the beginning of high school was slipping away. Like so many others, I viscerally felt the loss of normality.

Your morning alarm rings as you roll over, ready for another day as a college student during the COVID-19 pandemic. The idea of hopping between video calls and virtual class all day is daunting, and the only thing you look forward to is the Zoom happy hour scheduled for this evening. Weekends are dull, there is no spring break and you cannot even study at the local coffee shop or diner because there is no indoor seating.
Doubles turned into triples and dens turned into quads: these are a few of the plans proposed as the solution to cram a surplus of five hundred students within UW-Madison residence halls.
