UW Madison is unique because despite being such a big school and big campus, the sense of community and belonging is definitely present.
Megan
There is always something to do, people to see, activites to participate in. The campus is absolutely full of events and opportunities. Also I came here because of the lake. The lake is my absolute favorite part about the campus.
Rachel
It's not just a school, but an experience.
Kelsey
The University of Wisconsin had a type of energy to it. When you walk around, you feel as though people are happy. The campus is awesome! There are tons of restuarants, bars, some lakes, and green space. It is the perfect college town that is actually within a city.

A unique thing about UW-Madison compared to other schools I considered is the atmosphere. Students at Wisconsin love and are proud to be Badgers and represent this school. Another thing that is unique is football gamedays. The whole campus is a sea of red and everyone is out in the nice fall weather having fun and showing their school spirit. The Big 10 atmosphere of this school is unlike any other. Also what is unique is the academic prestige that the other schools I looked at lacked. This school is challenging and that's what makes it so great.

Madison is still in a big city, but the campus is slightly set apart. Madison also has a wide variety of majors, which is great if you are undecided. I also like that Madison is right by the lakes; it makes for wonderful walks in the spring, summer, and fall.
Dana
My school has a phenomenal social atmosphere and a unique involvement in politics as it is located in the capital of Florida.
Annemarie
The atmosphere surrounding Madison is unique. The palpable excitement at any sporting event, the academic rigor, and the ideal college town with various ways to fight the freshmen fifteen are all components in order to help make Madison a perfect college for me.
Bryana
I feel that the University of Wisconsin-Madison is unique in that it offers an outstanding show of the balancing of academics and social life. The students here are extremely driven academically but still seem to find time to make the university the extremely exciting and fun place that it is.
Hannah
There's always something for all different types of people to do. Concerts, movies, speakers, volunteer opportunities, parties--there's something for everyone.
