Wearing face masks and physically distancing from others, students started to move into UW–Madison resident halls this week. There will be 6,500 students living in 19 residence halls, as two of the smaller halls are being used for isolation housing. The residence halls have worked closely with campus leadership and local health experts to create a positive, successful living environment that mitigates the risk of COVID-19 and provides a memorable Wisconsin Experience. Most of the students are moving in over seven days between Aug. 25 and 31. The UW–Madison campus is preparing to reopen for the fall 2020 semester under its Smart Restart plan, which includes measures to maintain safety during the global pandemic.
