UW Madison students suck. There's just really no other way to put that. For a city that's supposed to be so "diverse" I found many of the students here to be extremely shallow, closeminded, and extremely derogatory to others who have not grown up in the big cities (Chicago, etc) like they have. The students here are very stereotypical (fratty types) and they do a really great job of stereotyping and alienating others. I personally thought that at a school that's as big as UW you'd be sure to find a group that shares your interests, but that really hasn't been the case. Most of the students here are so stuck-up and convinced they are God's gift because they go to Madison that it's just sickening. If you want to find a student body filled with kids who are welcoming, friendly, open-minded, upbeat, etc. Madison is certainly not the place for you. The cliquey-ness of this school is absolutely crazy. College is supposed to be a place in which people mature and learn to accept new ideas and things - instead of reverting back to childhood. I'm actually leaving UW and going to UW Milwaukee next semester, and I am really excited about my decision to do so. I've spent a lot of time on the UW-Milwaukee campus with friends and so forth and the atmosphere is completely different—people are honest, down-to-earth, friendly, interesting…instead of artificial and Greek carbon copy people. If you're thinking about coming to Madison and value humanity, please stop thinking about Madison and find some other schools.

responseIf you think Madison is cliquey you need to get out of wisconsin and see other schools in this nation.. I came to Georgia for school and it made me appriciate wisconsin even more. Greek life in wisconsin is a VERY small percentage.. espcialy compared to schools in the south. Every single time i've been in madison I felt completley welcome and fell in love with the atmosphere. I completley disagree that people at madison wisconsin aren't down-to-earth… you need to get OUT of wisconsin and see how people other places are if you're going to place that label
