    The University of Wisconsin, Madison is a well-rounded institution. The city itself is so diverse and has so much to offer. This University is ranked as one of the best educations in the U.S. and I'm proud to be attending.

    There are many exciting opportunities at the University, and there is never a shortage of intellectual and social stimulation. Whether you intend on majoring in pre-med, or in a STEM field, a little searching will provide you with chances at internships, student groups, and other experiences. The best part, in my opinion, at least, is the variety of courses available for students.

    University of Wisconsin-Madison is a place that feels like home. The people are friendly and like to further their education. Right on the lakes, next to Camp Randall, off of state street...Madison is the perfect college town.

    I stayed on campus for 6 weeks and immediately knew it was the place to be. So much to do and explore; it's worth the money.

    The University of Wisconsin was the perfect choice for me and I would highly recommend it to prospective students. It's a great academic environment, yet it allows you to have a ton of social opportunities. The professors are highly qualified and the classes are challenging, but worth it.

    Campus life is great and you will find some professors that you really like, but most professors are somewhat arrogant and think that they are super special because they use a lot of big words. They dislike giving A's and will take away points for no apparent reason. I get the feeling this is true of most colleges, however...

    Madison is definitely a 'work hard play hard' school. The students know how to study hard and enjoy their breaks even harder. Getting involved on this campus is the move fun and rewards thing to do here.
