University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

I think the worst thing about my school is the fact that registering for classes can be quite stressful. With so many students on campus, classes can fill up quickly. Sometimes you may not get the class you would like and you need to sacrifice in order to remain on schedule to graduate.

If you don't party, don't expect go get to know many people.

The only bad thing I can think of about my school is how cold it gets during the winter, but students are provided bus passes anyway, which really helps when getting to class in negative temperatures.

The drug and drinking culture can be quite liberal and therefore their respective crime rates can be relatively high compared to other states.

I think that this school could do a better job recruiting diverse minorities. There are a lot of international students that go here, but the school could do a better job recruiting more diverse environment within the US. The school should also look into parking for students that live off campus. Finding parking on campus is either crazy expensive or not available.

The worst thing about UW-Madison is the Wisconsin winter that descends upon campus in November and stays until March. The winters are filled with storms of heavy snow, frigid temperatures, and poorly plowed roads and sidewalks. The long walks students make on their commutes are lengthened by these unfortunate conditions that occupy the campus for many months. Although the snow can be beautiful upon first glance, that magnificence is deceiving. I am looking forward to migrating to place with a more hospitable year-round climate upon graduation.

The favoritism of minorities is the worst thing about UW Madison. More scholarships at Madison should be based on academic earnings, not your ethnicity.

The worst thing about the UW is signing up for classes. Although being able to sign up online is convenient, the system isn't efficiently designed for students to be able to find the msot convenient schedules.

I have abstained from drugs and alcohol while in high school and plan on that for college, too. I consider the drinking to be the worst part, but it is prevalent at all other universities as well.
