University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Wisconsin-Madison?

Brenna

Someone who is not self disciplined and not focused on academics may find it challenging to succeed at UW Madison. It is definitely a fun environment with plenty of fun things to do, however, if you are not focused, your academics will quickly slip and you will find yourself unable to maintain enrollment.

Timothy

The kind of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who is not accepting of the diversity of the school, doesn't put 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of themself into their studies, and doesn't enjoy the community atmosphere that Madison brings to the students. This kind of student would not do well in my University becasue diversity, education, and community are three big factors that seperate the University of Wisconsin-Madison from other universities.

Taylor

Someone who isn't willing to work hard probably shouldn't be attending UW-Madison. The courses ae rigorous and meant to challenge the studnets in a way that they haven't faced before. They want students that are going to make a difference and shape the future.

Richard

People afraid of big schools and who aren't good with meeting new people.

Ashley

This university has something for everyone, but I believe people who don't like to be active and interact with others should not attend this university. This university has many student organizations to fit everyones interests. Like I said, people who don't want to be involved and active in everyday campus life should not attend this school.

Kristen

The only type of person who shouldn't attend this school is someone who is not motivated. Getting good grades at this school is definitely hard work and takes the right type of person. That is not to say that the work is not worth it though.

Justanjot

I believe that students who are not willing to study for long hours and students who don’t have a passion for learning should not attend this school. This school does have a lot of harder classes than high school. Therefore, people that didn’t really care about what their grades were in high school probably will have a hard time adjusting to the fast pace curriculum at UW-Madison.

Laura

The kind of person who hates noise and big, overpopulated cities.

Adam

I don't think there is a type of person that shouldn't attend this school. The campus is so variable that any type of person would be able to fit in; there are are regions within the campus that accommodate all different kinds of people with all different sorts of personalities and interests. The selection of courses is so vast that anybody, even people who enter the university with no idea what they want to do with their lives, will be able to find something interesting to pursue.

Ashley

I don't see why any student wouldn't or shouldn't attend UW-Madison. It is a rather spaced out campus with many different people, but there are also opportunities to creat a close knit family or friends on campus. This could mean attending hall get-togethers, or becoming involved in one of the many student organizations on campus. There is even a Quiddich Team on campus! Anyone and everyone can be integrated into this wonderful school of fantastic opportunities to broaden your education and life experiences!

joshua

anyone who feels the need for small classrooms, much personal attention, or has a hard time being self directed. Because UW Madison is a large college, you must be able to seek out help and not rely on professors to seek you out. Also, anyone who feels lost in the big city life would not do well at uw Madison.

Patricia

Madison students are out going, diverse, and spirited. Students who are very conservative, who are not open minded, or do not like/appreciate diversity should not come to Madison. Students who have no interest in extra curricular activities, meeting new students, or participating in social events, also would probably not enjoy going to Madison. This school is academically challenging, students who do not take there education seriously and don't have career goals should not go here.

Ross

Anyone who doesn't like big cities or big campuses.

Kristy

Though the University of Wisconsin-Madison prides itself on embracing diversity, it has become increasingly clear that only liberal attitudes are seen as acceptable. Conservative views are rarely spoken, and when they are, those people are highly judged and their views face much opposition and scrutiny. Unless you are able to continuously defend your position against the many people who will disagree with your right-wing thoughts and opinions, it might be wise to attend a different university. A strong personality is needed to fight and advocate for your academic successes in general, among more than 40,000 other students.

April

Someone who is not openminded and has lived a very conservative life would have quite a shock when comming to this highly diverse school. Someone who is not used to working hard at school might have a difficult time adjusting to the work load. Skipping classes is not an option here. Someone who is strongly against drinking would have a hard time finding a group of freinds to spend time with on the weekend. Many students here drink while hanging out.

Lucy

Someone who gets overwhelmed with numbers and wants especially small classes. If you are committed to having conversations one-on-one with your professors and teaching assistants, it's easy to do because they are committed to teaching you all you want to know. It is just as easy, however to feel lost in a crowd especially when taking general education requirements where the students number in the hundreds. A student at UW-Madison should have a good head on their shoulders when it comes to standing up for themselves and seeking the attention they want or need.

Haley

Really, any type of personality can fit into this school. It is so large that there are activites and options for every student. However, people that need a lot of individualized attention will find it difficult to develop a relationship with all of their professors because it is such a large school. People that attend UW-Madison need to be somewhat independent so they can motivate themselves and take the initiative to go talk to professors.

Michael

A person seeking a great education should attend this college. From previous encounters of individuals who graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I have noticed that when someone states that they graduated from here, they automatically get respect. This university has a great name for itself and with it comes the greatest opportunity to succeed. This is a great place to earn a degree and it definitely has a high recommendation from myself and many others.

Janet

A person who is not dedicated to their own self improvement and does not have an internal locus of control should not attend any college.

Tyler

Any person not prepared to expirence a drinking culture.
