University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Wisconsin-Madison?

Thomas

I believe that only students who are not prepared to take on the challenge of higher education should not attend the University of Wisconsin- Madison. The multitude of choices the university offers is amazing and enormous compared to many other universities in the nation. Any student that is accepted to the great school should take pride in their enrollment and strive to achieve all that they can.

Tarik

People who dislike large class sizes and those who are not willing to work hard. Also people who are easily distracted with a wide array of social events.

Steven

In order to attend the University of WIsconsin-Madison, a strong work ethic and desire to succeed are crucial. With this in mind, I would not recommend this school to one who is unmovtivated or who is dependent on others to achieve their goals. and dreams. This school gives you many resources to help you in becoming a successful student, however it is entirely up to the student to seek out and use these valuable assets and use them effectively. If you are not willing to put some work into enhancing your education, this isn't the school for you.

Seth

While it is possible to have one on one conversations with professors, most intro level classes take place in large lecture halls with smaller disscussion groups led by a Teaching Assistant meeting at different times. For people who like one on one interaction with their teachers, UW Madison is not the undergraduate school for them.

Kelsey

If you are not into the party scene, this may not be the best school for you. Most students drink and party Thursday, Friday, Saturday and the school offers little for students to besides go out and drink. The majority of the city is bars so there is not much else to do on the weekends besides getting wasted and partying. It is also extremely competitive and challenging, so this school is not for the slackers. There is a lot of work and exams are extremely challenging.

Christina

Anyone that isn't serious about studying and just wants to party shouldn't go to this school because the classes are a lot of work and require an intense amount of work outside of class.

Molinda

A person that is not motivated should not attend this school. A person who is not focused should not attend this school.

Alexandra

Anyone who's looking for a school where all the students are 'exactly like me' would be better off elsewhere. UW-Madison is nothing if not diverse. Among the 40,000+ Badgers you'll find Bahranian exchange students, small-town Midwesterners, wordly New Yorkers, sports fans, music heads, tech geeks, artists, activists and more. There is no one 'type' of student, and those who seek an easily defined, comfortably familiar atmosphere shouldn't attend the University of Wisconsin.

Alison

someone who liked cliques in high school should go to a small school, not UW-Madison

Sarah

Someone who is only comfortable in smaller academic settings, or who isn't ready or willing to challenge themselves with difficult classes that require a lot of work or with social situations they have not yet experienced.
