Major: Music - Performance (This Major's Salary over time)
I came to UW-Madison to get my master's in music.I had a great professor. The city is beautiful. But coming from the south, it is effing cold and miserable in the winter. I found students to be a lot less interesting people than I would have assumed, given the school's reputation for high standars. Madison is physically beautiful, but awfully provincial. Football season is annoying with drunks everywhere. I often felt in Madison that I was living on a giant movie set about a college party school, rather than actually being at a college. I got extremely depressed the first year due to weather and mono, and had to go on medication just to get through my degree. People do not look you in the eye and smile on the sidewalks. The city is as white-bread as you can get. I bet it was more fun about 20 years ago. The pseudo-hipsters are insufferable. I never quite felt like I fit in here.
