University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

When promoting UW-Madison I often mention how it is one of the most highly accredited universities in the nation for a variety of academic programs. Besides academics, I rave about the campus' beautiful setting with Madison's state capital straight down the charming State Street to the top of historic Bascom Hill. Not to mention that the Memorial Union's terrace overlooks Lake Mendota with a lakeshore path encircling the lake. Also, the big ten atmosphere provides a wealth of activities. Madison is scenic, filled with history, and lots of culture which makes it an invigorating place for learning.

UW-Madison has provided me with a liberal education that has opened my eyes to a bigger picture comprised of everyone in the world and their feelings, needs, and beliefs. I have learned to be tolerant and accepting of everyone which will make me a better person in the long run. I feel so fortunate to be part of the Badger family filled with love, encouragement, knowledge, school spirit, diversity, and team values.

My residence hall is one of the newest buildings built. and I love it. The rooms are half the size bigger, share bathrooms with 4 other people, open kitchen on every floor, and plenty of studying space with a great environment. There is also a music room and a computer lab with all huge Apple computers. Newell?s Caf? is on main floor serving something different every day, even Breakfast for Dinner (pancakes/waffles topped with whipped cream). Our ice cream and milk is the best because it is from our very own loving cows on campus.

When I tell others about my school the one thing that I like to point out is the large, beautiful campus which stretches across the Madison area. There is so much space to walk and places to go right on the campus and it definitely is a major point of attraction for anyone considering the school. The university I attend is also recognized nationwide as one of the top and toughest universities academically, and it gives me great pride to let others know that I am one of the many students deemed qualified enough to further my education here.

The fact that there is so much to do and experience in Madison and that I have so many opportunities available to me.

Something that I brag about most to my friends is how many amazing people I have met being here. Going to a new school you know that you are going to met new people, but at UW-Madison almost everyone that I have met has turned into a good friend. And that is something that I love so much about college.

I brag about our school spirit. We are great in both football and basketball and everybody loves to go to the games and watch our teams do well.

The University I go to is well known and highly acclaimed.

There is no pride like Badger pride. From orientation all the way through graduation, a UW student is keenly aware that he or she belongs to something. That 'something' isn't easily defined... it's an amalgamation of 5th quarter football, Halloween on State Street, autumn mornings on Bascom Hill and the way alumni smile when you tell them you're a Badger. Whatever it is, knowing that you're part of a college experience only a fraction of American students get to have is something I'll always brag about!

UW-Madison has the MOST AMAZING sense of campus pride! The campus culture is exciting and motivating!

I brag about all of the things that there are to do in Madison. No matter what time it is or the day, you can always find something to do. There are 24 hour libraries for studying, lots of parties, and lots of times and places to have clean, good fun. Football, Hockey, and Basketball are big. The Hoofers outing club offers many opportunies to get out into the outdoors for a minimal price. Also there are plenty of job and volunteer opportunities. There is always something to do in Madison, WI!

There definitely is an aspect of fun and craziness at Madison but it is a place where when its time to work, students do not ignore their studies.

There are always fun activities to do, and famous and/or accomplished lecturers and conferences that are very interesting. Most students and professors are very nice, and it's big enough where you can meet a huge number of people, but you can also do things by yourself.
