University of Wisconsin opens amenity-laden residence hall

From The St. Paul Pioneer Press: University of Wisconsin-Madison has opened Dejope Hall, a $47 million lakeside residence hall. The five-story building houses 408 freshmen and sophomores. The main floor has a sprawling cafe, a convenience store, a coffee shop, a health clinic, a laundromat, a classroom and a lounge where students can sit by a fire. The residence hall's opulence reflects societal shifts and a dramatic upgrade in students' expectations for what student housing should offer.
