On weekends at your new student housing, Providence Place, you can get your lungs pumping with a brisk walk along nearby Lake Michigan, and stop for a breakfast of paninis and steaming hot coffee at The City Market on your way back. Take a trip to Milwaukee Art Museum to see the latest exhibit, or meet friends for a gallery trip in the Historic Third Ward arts and fashion district. Shopping at thrift stores like Retique will also keep you entertained in your downtime. For something a bit different, wander through tropical forests and arid deserts at the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory.

At Providence Place, getting to class is easy – simply roll out of bed, get dressed and then take a 10-minute walk over to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. When you have time to spare before class, take a morning stroll along the Milwaukee river and wake up with one of the delicious egg and biscuit breakfasts at Colectivo Coffee.

Walk home from your lectures, and you’ll feel instantly at ease when you reach Providence Place’s quiet neighborhood. You can choose to have your own space in a private apartment or to share one with a friend – either way, you’ll have plenty of room for when you want to invite friends over for dinner.

Fire up the stove and cook a quick, healthy meal, then settle down in your bedroom to get a head-start on your assignments. Your nearest supermarket is open 24 hours and just a 15-minute walk away, so you can head out to get a late-night snack to refuel whenever you need a break.

Later, you can catch up on your chores by hitting the on-site laundry facilities. If you have any problems, the on-site management team will be happy to help. Then, take a shower in your bathroom to get ready for a night out with friends. You won’t have to worry about your belongings while you’re having fun, as the locked lobby and intercom will keep your building secure. Plenty of parking is also available if you want to bring your car.
