I would say Wisconsin prepares me for the real world because the people I sit next to in lecture, are the same ones I may be working with in the future. My school breaks the social norm of races hanging out only with their race. On campus, you can see all races hanging out with one another, simply because they want to, not because they have to.

Madison offers high-quality education at a great price. It is well-known as a research school and is consistently ranked with the top schools in the country. It is located between two beautiful lakes and the campus is one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen. The people are friendly and the Badgers football team is great!

Most of the other universities that I considered were able to offer some of the features that I was looking for in a college, but only Madison contains everything that defines the perfect college for me. Not only does Madison have outstanding academics, but also great school spirit and athletics, open-minded and hard working students, dedicated faculty, and a beautiful lakefront campus. Additionally, the social scene on campus is fun, responsible, and everyone can easily find a place where they belong. Madison is unique because it is absolutely perfect.

UW-Madison is one of the largest schools in Wisconsin, therefore offering a huge variety of people to meet, places to go, and things to get involved in. There are so many things unique to Madison, such as Bascom Hill, a popular spot for tons of people. State Street is also awesome having interesting shops and restaurants. The Memorial Union is a great place to watch movies or hang out as well. Academically, I am most proud of Madison's research achievements and the opportunities to become involved. There are great professors and an amazing variety of classes and majors.

The friendly and open attitudes of the students distinguished UW-Madison from other universities of its size and calibre. Students are smiling and accessible, and always ready to help out a fellow Badger by passing along their lecture notes or helping someone that slipped on the treacherous Bascom Hill.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison makes diversity a top priority for its campus, and the students definitely benefit from it. There are students from all across the country, from California to New York, and there are international students. There are many different cultures on campus, and there are even dormatory halls specifically to integrate different people and cultures. The effort UW-Madison takes to integrate their students with as many different people as possible reflects the love of diversity and willingness to share experiences. Such diversity becomes part of the norm and reflects how the real world truly is.

There is always something to do. Whether it be a party, a band, a snow ball fight, a speaker, a sporting events or just chilling by the terrace. If you're not doing you homework, you should never be bored.
