Neighborhood Relations

(414) 229-4451

UWM is located in an area of Milwaukee known as the “East Side.” The East Side has many unique neighborhoods, with many active and engaged long-term residents and students. Neighborhood Relations works as a communication link between those living in the neighborhoods, the city of Milwaukee, and the university.

Tips for living off campus and being a “good neighbor” are sent to students living off-campus every year, and can be a helpful tool for parents and families when preparing their student for off-campus living.
