The best thing about UW Madison is the people. You will meet new friends and they will help you as you help them. There will be a bond you have never felt before. The people are open. They do not care about race or religion. The person you are is what others' searching for. Even when you feel leftout, there are groups of people feeling your pain. You will find yourself friends worthy to be called true friends.

I consider our engineering program the best thing about my school. As an engineer, I obviously spend all of my time in our program. Our Engineering Career Services office is extremely helpful. They host many job-related events and excellent career fairs. Also, our undergraduate advisor is extremely helpful. Our coursework packets for our major are extremely detailed and let us know what classes we have to take and when. We also have excellent computer labs and academic libraries and buildings for our use. I honestly cannot say one bad thing about our engineering program.

Probably the social atmosphere even though there is no downtown so to speak.
Ashlee
The diversity and the amount of campus activities. The availability of very research-oriented professors and experts is a great feeling.
Alex
There are endless opportunites for any and every activity that a student could desire to pursue.
Nikita
The location is brilliant, on the edge of a lively downtown area, everything within walking distance, with beautiful lakes and student unions.

The social life both on campus and in the city of Madison compliment each other very well. I have visited dozens of large state colleges and there are very few like UW-Madison.

I feel the availability of extra curricular activities, clubs, and other groups at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is fantastic. Everything from Tae Kwon Do classes and chess clubs to business groups, environmental groups, and volunteer groups - there is literally something for everyone to get involved in here! The involvement in these groups often provides a person with many life skills including leadership, social, and organizational skills. All you need the the motivation and initiative to get involved.
