Sending Your Student Mail and Packages
If your student lives in University Housing, sending a thoughtful letter or gift is a great way to give him or her a sense of home — and it’s easy to do. Follow this format:
Name
Residence Hall
Floor, Room Number
Street Address
City, State, Zip
Mail will be delivered to the front desk of your student’s residence hall, where it will be sorted and placed into your student’s mailbox. Students can access their regular mailboxes using their room keys. An email message is sent to your student’s @wisc.edu account when a package arrives; he or she can then pick up the package at the front desk with a valid student ID.
You can also send your student a complimentary e-postcard by visiting the Parent Program website. Care packages and gift baskets are available through University Housing or Fresh Madison Market.
