The University of Wisconsin - Madison

Unfortunately our classification of what "learning" is has not caught up with the complexity of society. "Learning" is all you will ever recieve from an institution like UW-Madison. It is not a place of knowledge. "What is the sense in knowing things that are useless?" -don Juan. I long for the days when there was a clear line between vocational schools and liberal arts schools. This is a neutral review because I do not wholy deplore attending UW-Madison. However I strongly urge those Curiousos who are financially priveledged and mentally sane to attend an independent liberal arts school because DUH, if you can postpone setting foot into the rat race (oh yah, one of the many applauses UW-Madison recieves is that if you can make it through the spiritual starvation of that hell then you are ready for the REAL world, why the urgency?) then by all means do it! At least when you inevitably join the rat-race you'll have some back-bone to offer for all the spineless and aimless scurrying others.I desired an Organized educational experience AKA "liberal arts college" that would lift me up and not be an exclusive preparation for the "real world". Cause ladies and gents, what is the "real world" anyways? And yes, you may say it's the world of survival, but this is also a characeristic interpretation of a fear-gripped mind. So my only advice is, don't attend a college with the misnomer of "liberal arts" in a university if you can avoid it!
