What field? STEM or humanities? It makes a difference in terms of which side of campus you would focus on – Sciences would look over on the side of campus near Camp Randall, to be walking distance to campus. If Humanities/Social Science, over towards State St and Langdon and the area south of that (Mifflin, Broome etc.) Both parts of town have many many 2-3 story homes which are converted into apartments. There are also many “high rise” apartment buildings – 6-10+ stories, and some may allow pets, but being in an elevator building may not be worth it. I would suggest not being too far away from campus, just because Madison is such a walkable city, there is no reason to head out towards suburbs etc. That being said, getting an apartment close in, with parking, can drive up the price, as parking is at a premium in Madison. The “high rises” will have underground parking spots to be rented, houses may or may not have designated spots and it could be street parking only. Again, but for stocking up at Costco or Target, a car isn’t very necessary. She would not want to think she is driving to campus, because on-campus parking is very very tight and hard to find.

A wonderful place to live – my UW son is going to miss Madison!
