The most frustrating thing about my school is the amount of money I have to pay. I am an out-of-state student and I pay 3 times as much money as an in-state student. It frustrates me that I have to pay more money to attend a world-renown university but pay more money simply because I live out of state.

Being at a Big 10 can be a little intimidating; for example, my huge lectures are pretty difficult and don't involve a lot of direct communication.

The most frustrating thing about UW Madison is that minorities are given special treatment. Other students that are not a minority have the same academic standings or better than some and do not recieve the same benefits that the minorities recieve.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the size. It is very large and it is easy to get mixed in with a large lecture. The large size can be frustrating but at the same time without its large size a lot of the opportunities available wouldn't exist.

The most frustrating thing about UW-Madison was having to leave once I graduated. The atmosphere at UW-Madison is full of school-spirit and acceptance. There is also never a lack of things to do on campus between volunteering, shopping, going out to eat, hanging out with friends, and going to concerts among other things.

The drinking culture is really big here and finding things to do on weekends that aren't alcohol related can sometimes be tough. Also, if you are placed in a dorm notorious for drinking you can't really get away from the drinking culture and if you are placed in the nicer dorms you don't get much of a social life at all. Unless you love to party, socializing can be somewhat difficult.

The most frustrating thing I have encountered are the buildings and room numbers. Buildings can have multiple basements, main floors first floor mezzanine floors. One time my class was on the "second floor" and I had to walk up 3 flights of stairs. Because Madison doesn't believe in elevators, the whole mix-up of floors is frustrating.

While I can find little fault in the University of Wisconsin - Madison, the most frustrating thing about the school is transportation in the winter. It gets very cold and there is heavy snow for most of the school year, which makes it hard to get around. There is free bus transportation, but it becomes unreliable and behind schedule during the winter months. While this problem is not directly under the control of the school, the weather makes it hard to get to class on time or want to go to class at all.

Only the poor academic advising bothers me

The most frustrating thing about Madison actually is the size as well. Because there are so many students, grades can get very competetive. This means that many of the classes require a lot of work. Many hours a day can be spent doing homework, studying, or working on projects. This was something I expected, but still was overwhelming at first. Although there are many times students can become very frustrated with the work load, the university offers many resources, such as awesome libraries, free tutoring, and office hours with professors and teaching assistants.
