Our Hillel is located by the UWM campus, and we have the majority of our students here. Almost all of our programs are at this campus. We estimate that there are 500-600 Jewish students at UWM. It is the second largest campus of the University of Wisconsin System (after Madison) with nearly 26,000 students. It is located on Milwaukee’s East Side, in an attractive residential neighborhood, just several blocks from Lake Michigan. It is primarily a commuter school, with only about fifteen percent of undergraduate students living on campus.
