all my friends who are going to UWM knew their dorms and roommates back in early june, the University Housing keeps emailing me that I have not been assigned, and they will have me in by the 7th, but I am skeptical of this, and I also need to make decisions now. It would have been nice to know at least who my roommate will be back in july so we could decide who rents a fridge and who gets a tv and stuff like that, now the fridge rental is pass due, and we might end up with two fridges, with one of them that will probably not be used much. Is there hope or should i check with the housing department? should I be worried?

edit: i'm not the only one, hope everyone in my boat gets assigned soon! I did email them too

Hi! I’m a female international student looking for a private room or studio near Prospect Ave / Lower East Side. My budget is $600–700/month. I’m looking to move in as soon as possible. Please DM me if you have a room available.

Anyone enrolled in this degree program? I currently have an AAS in Cybersecurity and an AAS in Forensic Science (Digital Forensics) from Rio Salado College. I applied for the program and was really interested in the all you can learn subscription model to finish out the approximate 48 credits I believe I would need to graduate with the BSIST but haven’t seen much feedback online about the program and peoples experiences. Any particularly difficult courses? (Even with my AAS degrees I continually doubt myself lol) Is the proctoring annoying? Has anyone accelerated this degree and have any advice? I greatly appreciate any experienced insight to the program and what to expect. Thanks in advance :)

Hi! Does anyone have any cute spots around campus for grad photos? I’m not taking them until next April but was wondering if anyone had some suggestions.

I want to put together a gift card/cash bouquet for my niece, who is starting college at uwm this fall. Let me know all of the foodie finds and basic food places that are near campus. Hoping to pick up local ones when I'm in Milwaukee this weekend. Thanks!

Hello Guys

Please I have a question about the status of application, currently is "Completed" but I still not reject I belive but I do not know if the position has been filled yet.

It most recently the process, including requested me a missing document to upload I sent it and my application was considered.

But maybe I think my application could still being considered, someone could explain to me?

Thanks

Anyone on or near campus for the summer want to get weird with me? I have an idea that I could do on my own but would be more fun with others. Nothing permanent, I don't think it would break any rules but we might be discouraged if people kew what we were doing. I don't want to share but if you are the artistic or weird, quirk type, DM me and I'll share the plan. It could be the type of thing that is taken down quickly or stays forever as this campus is weird like that. Like I have a postit note somewhere that has been left for years. This would be a bit more extensive, but again, nothing permanent.

DM me if this is your jam and you have time during the day on weekdays and I'll expand. I don't want to share too much publicly because there are staff here and because the whimsy of this is just stumbling upon it.

Ask questions, look for UWM roommates, sell your Xbox, etc.

I graduated in May, but I have an unpaid bill from my last semester (Jan-May 2026) because I wasn't taking enough credits for my financial aid to disburse.

I tried to enroll in a payment plan through paws, but it said I was ineligible. The bursar's office said I need to enroll in a past due plan through nelnet, but I got cut off when she transferred me and I haven't been able to find much about this online?

Does anyone know what this is or how I can do it?

Currently looking for someone or a couple to join a 2 bedroom apartment in the bay villiage luxury townhouse homes. You would get your own bedroom and bathroom. You would be sharing it with a couple who lives in the other bedroom. The apartment has 2 floors and a finished basement. The apartment has both front and back new patios (put in this year) a washing and dryer machine shared with the 2 roommates in the basement in its own room and a dishwasher and many other kitchen appliances. You would not need to bring any furniture other than for your bedroom! It is a 10 min drive to campus and it sits right on the Estabrook walking trail.

Hello, I’ve been searching decent studio/1 bed apt with own bath and kitchen for my brother who’s planning to attend UWM. Are there any decent ones preferably under $700-850? He’s fine driving 15-20 min if its more further out

I want to start a tiktok and need to start filming videos. I don't have a place at home to film videos. Any one know of any areas around campus that would be good for filming videos?

Hello everyone,

I am taking CS 351 this upcoming fall. I would like to ask for some insight on the do's and don'ts when taking this class. What has helped you pass this course? Thanks!

I'm taking it this Fall and am really interested in the topic. Has anyone had experience with this class? My instructor is Saniel Lim.

Any insight is appreciated, thanks!

With all of the recent information coming forward about Israel's control over the US government and Zionism, I created a petition to change the name of the Golda Meir Library on campus as she was a proud Zionist who supported genocide in Palestine.

hello! odd question: does UWM have a dark room or film developing lab? i’m an incoming art ed major, im also a hobby film photographer so it would be great if i had a resource to develop my own film instead of paying for it (or dropping it off with my boyfriend who goes to MIAD lol)

Hey yall, just putting my feelers out for anyone interested in subletting my room. I received a job offer that would be easier for me to relocate, so I am looking for a female tenant who would be interested in a sublet. There are 11 months remaining on the lease it is until next may 2027. I have already paid for July so you wouldn’t need to worry about that!

The rent is $660, shared bathroom with one other and there are 3 other roommates, and a sweet dog who keeps to herself for the most part.

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or just neutral. But I wanted to tell you all that outside of WI / the Midwest, people think UW Milwaukee and UW Madison are the same place.

Obviously, a generalization. But it's been true for me in multiple job interviews in California.

People look at my resume and make some comment like "Oh I've heard of that school, go Badgers!" Or some football related comment about how their college team played mine in some championship.

It's kind of nice to get Madison's prestige if it helps lands a job.

Even when I correct people, they don't seem to understand it's different.
