Uw- Madison is a fantastic school. The academics are strong, there is always something fun to do, the school spirit is remarkable, and on top of it al you live on a beautiful campus. I don't know any one that dislikes their experience here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Never say no to an experience. There's so many fun things to do that you might not even know of, so if you're offered to do something on campus with friends, do it! It's almost guaranteed you will enjoy yourself.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
UW- Madison is ranked top 50 nationally in academics for a reason, it's not the easiest school to go to. But it is definitely manageable, and you will succeed with hard work, and have fun at the same time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I would recommend to anyone to live in the dorms your freshman year. It's a great way to meet a lot of new people. The dorms offer residents activities to do with their floor, and they let you know of events going on campus- wide.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Dining halls are great but the selection can become repetitive if you eat there enough. But there are other restaurants everywhere on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Attend any athletic event, walk along the lakeshore path, go to events on state street like freakfest, play volleyball, basketball, or soccer outside the dorms with friends, play an intramural, be in one of 900 clubs, go to concerts, and many more things. This city and campus is rich with fun things to do.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Wouldn't have spent my money better at any other college.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Bascom hill snowball fight- annual tradition between freshman dorm rooms: southeast vs. lakeshore. Picnic point is a beautiful location to experience, and there's a beach along the lakeshore path on your way there if you want to swim.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
There's something for everyone- guaranteed.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
