University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

There are so many people, it is difficult to get into classes, and some classes are more difficult than the amount of credit received.

It is difficult to get into the classes you need and you never know if your professors and TAs will be excellent or horrible teachers! Also, there are a lot of cliques on campus and it is very large making it hard to make friends.

I feel that the worst thing about UW was the student governement. While not an important issue to many people, I was consistently unimpressed with their lack of actions and results on issues that students were very passionate about. Had there been no student government, I feel that most things would have been the same. I expect a student governement to make positive changes for those enrolled, not be happy simply having a role.

Apartment prices. They are outlandish. The weather during the winter months. It's the worst.

the lack of diversity within the student population

The schol is so diverse, it can be hard to focus on the area you are intrested in without getting distracted by the social activities or even coursework outside of the major.

How much alcohol impacts social life and stuff because that's sending the wrong message to people, especially underclassmen.

N/A

Probably the lack of diversity - it is a great school and I absolutely love it but it is wrong that mostly all of the minorities on campus are on sports teams and have been recruited. We need more diversity!

weather. very cold, makes you not want to go to class.
