FRENCH HOUSE

2008-2009

ROOM & BOARD RATES and RATE COMPARISON

Room & Board at the French House is very reasonable in comparison to other options on and off campus. The French House is funded, in part, through “The Friends of the French House” and strives to keep costs at a minimum. Our rates are established in comparison to the UW-Madison residence halls’ rates so that living at the French House does not represent an added cost to students. In fact, The French House is less expensive in most cases. In addition, we believe that the quality of life and especially the quality of our meals at the French House easily exceed that of other similar options in Madison.
