University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

Madison is an extremely open and welcoming campus. There are so many opportunities to excel and there is a place for everyone to purse their interests. My favorite part of the school is how politically active and environmentally conscious most of the students are. It is very rewarding to be a part of such a active community, especially during one of the most infamous elections in United States history. I am very proud to be a Badger and I could not picture myself attending any other school.

This is the biggest school of the other schools to which I was accepted. The other schools were in smaller towns and did not have a very large focus on drinking and sports. Most of the other schools I considered were specialty schools and were out of state. Most of them were private schools.

The school is huge, but at the same time I never found it overwhelming as I orgionally anticipated. You have the option to surround yourself in a more natural setting or in city life (medium sized city). While Madison has a reputation for its sports and drinking culture and most students drink quite a bit, there is so much else it has to offer from the second largest sailing club in the country to mountaineering, skiing, sky and scuba diving, martial arts and array of club sports many of which I never heard of before.

The UW has it's problems, but there is a lot of work going on to make these things better.

Madison has so much school spirit, you can't help but get sucked in. Regardless of what your favourite thing to do is, there are so many diverse people that you're sure to find people who you share things in common with.

There is nothing really unique, but everything that we have is exceptional. Our faculty, staff and students I feel are among the best in the country. School spirit is rampant and everyone loves it here.

The campus and the city surrounding campus.

Nothing really. I choce this school for cost vs credibility.

Nothing. It is exactly the same as every other big campus.

I feel that UW-Madison is the best public school in the state, so no matter what my major is, I feel like I'm getting a good education.
