UWM University Housing Tours

Campus Visits

We highly encourage you to see the full campus through a Campus Visit tour, which runs 60 minutes and includes a tour of Sandburg Residence Hall. If you’re not looking for a guided tour of the entire campus, we also offer Housing-Only tours of all our residential communities.

Scheduling A Housing Tour

For tours of Cambridge Commons, Kenilworth Square Apartments, RiverView Residence Hall, and Sandburg Traditional Towers (North/South/West), guests must register at least 24 hours in advance within a predetermined schedule (see Current Tour Schedule below). Please note that University Housing tour sizes are currently capped at a total of 20 people and we are asking that each student only bring up to 2 guests for the tour.

Private and small-group tours of Sandburg East Tower may be scheduled with at least 2 business days’ notice (subject to availability). To inquire about tour possibilities, contact the University Housing Student Outreach Assistants at uhmktg@uwm.edu.

Current Tour Schedule

We are currently updating our Fall 2022 pre-set tour options. To inquire about any Housing-Only tour for your small group or family, please email the Housing Outreach Office at uhmktg@uwm.edu
