Major: Geography and Geosciences (This Major's Salary over time)
I was concerned about UW being so big—and not having any sense of community, or the security that might come from a smaller school. Now, yes, some of the basic lectures you attend freshman year might be huge—200 students, but then these are broken down to subclasses of 15 that you meet at least weekly for direct discussion. As you get into more advanced classes and especially in your major, you will find class size getting smaller, last year (Junior) I had two classes with less than 10 students. Awesome learning experience! Madison is cold in winter—but beautiful all year round. Plenty of great arts, plays, concerts, the best in sporting events and nightlife if you want. Wide, diverse and eclectic people make for always an interesting time.
