University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

Has an urban setting in a rural area.

The best thing about my college is the freedom! Not only am I out of the coils of my parents, but I no longer have to fit into the "High School" mold. This is not the only freedom I am referring to however. I have hundreds of exciting classes to choose from, everything from shopping to eating out within a 10 minute walk, and the space to explore myself. I literally feel as if I have the world at my fingertips.

The scenery and being by the lake is breathtaking. Eating on the terrace and over-seeing the clear water is beautiful and makes every moment of eating your meal ever more enjoyable. Even though the campus is 933 acres, all the classes are walk able and within the 15 minute grace period given to get to each class. Another thing I like about the university is the activism that brings the students together. The university brought together a safe place to be able to break from your comfort zone and open up.

The best thing about my school is the amount of choices there are. A student can take whatever class interests them, and it will (most likely) count towards their graduation requirements.

The best thing about my school is that with so many people on campus, you get to meet someone new every week.

I believe that the best thing about our school is the amount of extra-curricular activities available to students. There are more than six hundred registered student organizations at UW-Madison, and many more unregistered student organizations. These clubs provide multiple opportunities for students to meet new people who share their interests and passions, as well as develop crucial leadership and organizational skills. These organizations also coordinate concerts, free films, and other events that provide multiple opportunities for students to get together and have fun without drinking.

The social life because it is fun and you meet lots of people.

The best thing about University of Wisconsin-Madison (besides "Jump Around" during the football games of course) is that it is a huge university yet it has so many ways for anyone to find their place and make the campus smaller and feel more like home. Also, it is one of the best elementary education schools in the country which is a huge reason why I chose to attend UW-Madison.

There is enough different types of people to give one a good impression on how different people think and act in the real world. Aside from that the T.A.'s seem very good.

It is one of the best values in college in the world. It consistently ranks in the top ten in every program it offers, and the students reflect that rank. For me, I can have incredibly nerdy conversations about technology, the universe, whatever and everyone has the knowledge base to chime in and give their opinion. Then with those same people I can go play ultimate frisbee, go to football games, go rock climbing and have bonfires. Being intellectual and cool are not mutually exclusive things at UW Madison, and thats why I love it here.

The best thing about my school is wide variety of activities to do. It is very easy to get involved and find something that is fun to do. Sporting events are great and everybody is is very supportive of the sports teams. Also, there are numerous clubs and organizations that you can join throughout the year. It is nice to have the opportunity to get involved with something when you need a break from homework and studying.

The best thing about my school is that it is well respected in academics and because of this many people who come to campus to speak are well known authors, political figures, etc. It's exciting to see these people first hand and adds to the school spirit of people being very proud to go there.

The best thing about my school is the diversity of the student body. On my dorm floor alone are students from as far away as China and Australia, and as close as my own Wisconsin home town. There are students who excel in technology, the arts, science and engineering, as well as a group of entrepreneurial types, of which I am one. Our floor is part of a new Entrepreneurial Learning Center, which is an incubator for new ideas. During our weekly dinner meetings, the energy is so high that we all truly believe that we can aspire to anytihing!!

I would say the best thing about my school are the opportunities it presents to me. I am a science guy, and have found a job in a research lab. I will be given the chance to coauthor a research paper and get invaluable experience. I also know that as long as I study as hard as I can, I will excel in my classes and have a high GPA. Wisconsin will more than prepare me to go to medical school.

Everyday life. The people are great here. There is a wide variety of people from different places with different views of the world. There are so many things going on to do, you can never be bored. If you don't feel like participating in something, you can always just relax at one of the many cool places on campus. Great places include the lakes, the union, state street, and bascom hill, just to name a few.

There is a great variety of social activities. Although it is hard to handle everything with school, the time management better prepares you for the real world, and so does the vigourous course work.

It is big enough that there is something for everyone here. In terms of academics you can study anything you are interested in. In terms of a social life, you will meet friends who are interested in all sorts of different things and there is so much to do on and off campus. You don't have to drink to have fun or make friends here.

School spirit is amazing. Madison feels like home to me. So many people who all share in the same pride and are always friendly and helpful.

Madison has something for everyone. If you are focused on academics or looking for internship opportunities, Madison has the courses, professors, and resources. While the school aspect is fantastic, this university provides its students with what seems like infinte options to satisfy anyone's interests, ranging from cultural activites to sports to volunteering. Because Madison is such a large university and offers so many different choices to its students, anyone attending here will feel welcome and ready to fully discover and develop their personal interests and goals. That's what makes the University of Wisconsin-Madison so amazing!

It's not the biggest University campus, but it is big. There are many things to explore and learn. It is very diverse if you choose to look into those areas. There are many activities you can join and it's a fun and open school to go to. It is also a very academically focused school, but along with that it also has students who know how to let loose and have fun when done with their academic needs.
