I have lived in Wisconsin all my life and had always kind of thought I'd want to go to UW Madison. I ended up applying to and getting into Northwestern in Evanston, and so faced an extremely tough decision as to where to go for college...I chose UW, and have not regretted it for a single moment ever since.
This campus and school has SO MUCH to offer, whether it be academically, socially, politically, or otherwise. The city is great, it's very active, and it's wonderful to see everyone out running, biking, shopping, walking down famous State St., etc. on the first day of spring.
Academically, Madison is what you make it. I'm personally double majoring in Neurobiology and Psychology and also doing a Certificate in Business, so I have to work extremely hard even though I came in here with a year's worth of AP credits (I'll still graduate in 4 years). A few of my non-science major friends, however, hardly do anything and get by with passing grades..so it really depends. Getting all A's takes dedication, but it's a very rewarding accomplishment in such a large school. I like to have a good time, but my academic load definately does not allow me to be one of those Thursday-Friday-Saturday partiers...but I do still go out often enough. Furthermore, this university is very highly ranked in research, and so I've been able to get involved in some awesome neuro research labs.
To anyone considering this University, I'd tell you this--do not come in here assuming you won't have to work extremely hard if you're after a difficult major, particularly one in the sciences. The general atmosphere is very friendly, and there are many different types of people both on campus and in the surrounding area, which combine to make a very unique compliation of attitudes and activities. You will find what you're looking for because there is definately something for everybody--there are thousands of clubs and student orgs, and if you have an interest for which there is currently no club or organization, you can get university funding to form one yourself. Honestly, my biggest complaint is that there are way to many liberals running around. Other than that, I could not be more happy here. I love it so much here that I am planning on going to either neuroscience grad school or med school here after my undergrad, whenever I decide which path to take. UW Madison is awesome! | Social Life: A+, Collaboration/Competitive: B |  | | |

| Quite Bright | I am out of state student coming from the East Coast. I was accepted into Columbia university and such elite schools and chose Madison because it is very highly ranked (in some polls even higher than IVYs) and so i figured i would get the same education here than spend ten times for an ivy. And, i was right! The education here is tremendous, not to mention the party scene is unreal; something you cannot find in an ivy. If you are a very hardworking, fun person, you will fit in her perfectly. You had to work very hard in high school to get in here, so continue that hard work while at Madison to do well here. People are always impressed when I tell them that I go to Wisconsin and I know a Wisconsin degree will help me to get a good job. Again, AWESOME, extremely fun, and incredibly challenging (education-wise) University. I fully recommend it. This University continues to rise in the rankings, as it should. By far one of the best universities in the nation, and yet it is still full of open-minded, non-judgmental, non-elitist people. GO BADGERS!! | Individual Value: A, Education Quality: A- | | | |

| Bright | Looking back over the years it becomes clear that college is indeed as transforming as it is often heralded. By opening up to all that an academic setting can offer at a large school such as UW, one can gain insight into people, careers, & scholarly learning.
Like most alumni I look back at my years at UW with great fondness. Not only for the good times, the friends, and the tear gas, but for the platform it provided upon which to build a career and a view of the world around us. | Starting Job: Attorney-at Law, Preparedness: B, Reputation: B+ | | |

| Quite Bright | I transferred here from another school, and let me tell you, UW-Madison is amazing. It offers anything you could ever want, and then some. Not only that, but I know when I graduate my degree will carry a lot of weight due to how well known and well respected the University is throughout the nation. If you're an in-state student, there really isn't any better choice, and even for out-of-state students tuition is a bargain compared to private schools and even other state schools. The school really has everything you could ask for, stellar academics, an amazing party atmosphere, and the opportunity to meet lifelong friends. Being here has really made me happy, so take all these things into consideration, and On Wisconsin! | Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: A- | | | |
