UW-Madison is a university prized for its small town feel with a huge social experience. Never is there a dull moment on campus. Your academics and extra curricular activities will be memories you'll never forget.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Expect greatness. Your classes will be hard, but living on your own will be harder. Madison is a great town with plenty of people to befriend. Network as much as possible
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The rigor of the university depends on the course load. 13-15 credits is my recommendation for an incoming freshman, and be sure to be completely prepared with a plan for the next four years. Your classroom experience will be a lot more difficult if you don't have a stable plan.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
It's exciting, it's fun, and it's something to experience. Never will you get the experience to walk through a hallway and socialize with every person possible. A conversation is waiting with every step you take in a dorm hall. Make sure you build a good relationship with your roommate. That's a relationship that will last for life.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Like they say, What looks good isn't always good for you. The food is delicious. It will keep you coming back, but the nutritional value for most food, other than salad, isn't to nice.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Madison is as fun as you make it. From the moment you wake up, to the exciting night life, you just have to go out and experience it. Try everything! You won't regret it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The Madison experience is worth the Madison price. You aren't just making a payment to the university, you are making an investment on your future. The Madison name, the Madison Experience, and the Madison Education is something you can hold forever that many will be aspired by.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Memorial Union and the College Library are two places you MUST visit at least once a semester. There is more to do there than simply a place to study. Memorial Union makes huge efforts to entertain their students. With huge parties on the terrace, movie nights, and the prized Babcock Ice Cream you just can't lose.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is out there. You will hear about them from the moment you get on campus to the minute you step off campus. Not to mention the countless weekends their Houses will be mentioned by your peers. Greek life is a good place to get involved if you seek a close family-like relationship with your peers.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The Madison Campus Safety Division takes EXTRA steps to ensure that all their students are safe. From the Safe-Ride cab to the Safe-Walk, Madison offers services to their students that allows them to be protected at all times during their stay there on campus
