After reading some of the negative comments about UW-Madison, I was upset. First of all, although there are some snotty East-coasters at this school, not every one of them is like this. In addition, every student is never going to be friendly at any university. Secondly, after going to the UW, and talking to friends that go to other UW systems, I do think our school has a much more difficult agenda and harder coursework than the others. This is why we are known as such a good school. I never percieve our campus to be stuck up just because of this reason! Third, to say our campus is not diverse is like saying the sky is green! There is every type of person here - the athlete, the "nerd", the partier, the skater, the foreigner, etc. The great thing is that all these different types of people are continually intermeshing and new groups of friends are being formed. Everyone hangs out with everyone - you can choose any type of person you want to be and still fit in here. Although there is a smaller percent of African American students, I don't believe that they are all segregated (as one of the other reviews stated). I (being caucasian) had numerous African American friends. Lastly, there are endless opportunities here, from traveling abroad to the course offerings. I couldn't imagine a better college experience. In addition - you haven't had fun until you've been to a Badger athletic event! Football games are a must!!! On Wisconsin!

P.S. The social life is AWESOME!!!!! And if you don't like to drink, there is cafes, live music, or other organizations always available to have a good time at :)
