Only three schools awarded more degrees to Fortune 500 CEOs than UW-Madison: Harvard University (58), Columbia University (21) and University of Pennsylvania (20) And the lakes are beautiful. We have great lakeside trails.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a very popular school in the Wisconsin university system. It is a big ten school. It is famous for its sports such as basketball and football. It is an awesome school and looks good on resumes!

The campus offers some of the most school pride that I have ever seen; I think the thing that most impresses me is the alumni and their continued support and love of the Wisconsin Badgers. It is unlike any other.

I think that the name "UW-Madison" speaks for itself. The University has made such a name for itself that most people are simply impressed that I graduated from such an esteemed university. Other than that, I usually brag about my theater experience which tends to be a point of interest.

academics, Madison, football tailgating, US News ranking, affordability, being able to walk everywhere, the lake, the professors, having both small and big classes.

I tell my friends about the beauty of the campus, which is located on Lake Mendota. I also talk about how there is always something to do either on or nearby campus on just about every night of the week - there is never a lack of things going on. This university not only is a great place to study, but it's also a very fun place to live.

Arielle

I love the spirit of Madison. Everyone I know at the university has fallen in love with it. It is a very fun place to be and there is always something going on. If students are not attending classes, they are walking around campus with their friends, eating at the delicious restaurants and dining halls on campus, or engaging in one of the various student organizations. Madison provides an environment in which to flourish by attending to everyone's unique interests and talents.

School Spirit Sports Teams especially Football and Basketball Professors School Organizations Interesting Classes or things I've learned Events happening around Campus

Ross

That I'm a UW Badger! It is a big honor to attend this school, as it is the best in the state and one of the best in the nation. It is a division 1 school and part of the Big 10 Conference.

Anna

The weekend opportunities, and the main street that is on campus.

Eloise

I love UW-Madison's campus--it's gorgeous. We have some really new, architecturally interesting buildings like Grainger Hall, but we also have several really old, historically significant ones like Science Hall. My favorite building is probably Sterling Hall though, because one side is covered in vines. It's especially pretty in the Fall when the vines change colors. But my favorite room to have a lecture in is definitely the big one in Bascom Hall, because the giant windows are so nice on sunny days.

Abigail

The school spirit. Wisoconsin recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of our school song, "On, Wisconsin!" and I have never felt prouder to be part of the university. There really is no other place like UW-Madison - it offers so many opportunites for learning - formally and informally. It's impossible to describe to friends that don't go here, but they are able to get a small taste of what it feels like to be a badger when they go to a football or hockey game, etc. That experience is very unique to this university because of its history and traditions.

Kirsten

I brag most about everything from our varsity athletic teams to the parties on weekends, especially the major ones such as FreakFest (Halloween) and the Mifflin Street Block Party. I'm so proud of all aspects of my school that it is hard to just brag about one thing in particular all the time. Go Badgers!

Nicholas

The best thing about my school is the real commitment of the professors to their subjects. Every teacher I have had so far has been genuinely interested in both teaching their subject and learning more about it. They do not simply teach because they have to in order to keep their jobs. Instead they try to instill their love for the subjects in their students.

Ben

Going there means that I am smarter than them.

Alexa

I absolutely love the fact that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has such a great reputation. This university is known for being a great, competitive school. I also love knowing that if you really utilize your experience at this school, everyone has a great chance of being successful in whatever they choose to do. For example, I like to point out the fact that the most CEOs have come out of this university (tied with Harvard) than any other university in the nation.
