Residence
The French House is a private, language immersion residence hall operated through the Department of French & Italian for fall, spring or academic year residency. The residents of the French House are a diverse group of UW-Madison students who share at least one aspect in common: their love for the French language.
Room and board rates are very competitive with those of UW-Madison residence halls. Living at the French House should not be a financial burden to our students, and thanks to our donors, UW-Madison students have an opportunity to live independently in a practical and intellectually stimulating environment.
You are...
...a UW student with 3 college semesters of French or 4-5 years of high school French?
You want...
...to live in a historical campus building on the lake and eat healthy, homemade food?
You will...
...speak French on a daily basis in an enriching, educational environment!
