Around Town

The Majestic Madison concerts are amazing, the farmers market is a must-see, and the on-campus clubs and student organizations make it so easy to get involved at UW Madison!

There is always something going on, whether it is a university event, a residence hall event, a party in one of the dorm rooms, or a pick-up game at one of the recreation centers.

Everything. Madison is a city. It's located not to far from the country, but it is also a downtown. a 5 minutes walk from downtown feels like a suburb. Going swimming in Lake Mendota or taking nature walks in the Arboreteum are beautiful. If you are more into night life, there is plenty in Madison. From fraternity's to Camp Randall games to Halloween, and so much more...Madison will not disappoint you.

It's pretty much impossible not to have a good time at Madison. The weekends are always insane, but a lot of people don't realize that week nights can get crazy too.

The student unions and nearby music venues are always hosting great events. There's always something for everyone, whether it be a guest visit from the Dali Lama, or an Avicii concert!

Explore the beautiful city and see the capitol building!

Well there is always sports. Also, the union is always showing movies for free and inviting interesting speakers. Billy Collins did a poetry reading. I also heard some big hollywood producer speak. There are also many plays and other performances to be seen at the union theaters or at the Overture Center. We also have a comedy club and an awesome art museum. Not to mention the lake. So many boating activities.

Sports are a big part of this campus. The football games are something that you will not find on any other campus. Drinking and night life is also a huge part of this campus, but not the only thing. Arts and theater is also something commonly found on campus or just down towards the capitol.

Explore there is something for everyone.!

I hang out with my friends and go to different events for fun. Our house fellows in our dorms do a great job of planning fun things for us to do based on our interests. Also, Madison has so many opportunities for getting involved. There are so many clubs, but there is always the opportunity to create more.
