Brooke HardingFebruary 26, 2018The terrace is great for a pitcher of spotted cow, brats, and babcock ice cream from the daily scoop. Try the orange chocolate chip, it's the best!

UWVIPNovember 21, 2011It's estimated that 18,000 people pass through the doors each day. Memorial Union still lives up to it's nickname from 1928 as the "living room for campus."
Don't forget to stop by the Essentials Information Desk to say Hello to the friendly staff!
in the summer, use the bathrooms on the second floor because the ones in the rath are disgusting.
Come at noon and count the number of faculty here having "office hours" with a pitcher of beer. ;)

Built in 1926 to provide a "living room for the campus," the Memorial Union was predominantly funded by private donations. The year following its October 5, 1928 opening, it was the busiest college union in the country. It still thrives today as the social and leisure center of campus.

"Green iced tea is perfect for a summer day:)"
Faustina Bohling 
"You can still enjoy awesome views of Lake Mendota when the weather is unsuitable for the Terrace. Stop by Lakefront for good, coffee, abundant study space and year-round Mendota beauty."
