Pros: Very challenging, great staff Cons: You must be self-reliant, ineffectual support staff.
I attended the University of Wisconsin - Madison College of Engineering from 1994 - 1997. My intended major when I dropped out was a double major in Computer Engineering/Math.
I was a little different from most of the students when I started...

Pros: Excellent school Cons: Very interesting student body
Disclaimer: The following is a huge bitch-fest and a very, very long post. I am writing this to prospective students considering attending UW-Madison. It is a fantastic school, however, you have to be a very special person to put up with the...

Pros: Small, friendly, quiet Cons: Slightly far from State Street and Memorial Union (on the quieter side of campus)
Did you apply too late to live at the state dorms!? *Foolish freshman!* Don't despair! Have I got an epinion for you, *albeit an epinion with a hearty slathering of marketed material*...
Why live at rowdy, strangely-named state dorms when...

Pros: No cooking, no washing dishes, decent food Cons: Variety is lacking sometimes, but there is always easy mac!
I am currently a senior at the UW-Madison. I lived in the resident halls for two years as an undergrad and now I am a housefellow (an RA.) Since I've been eating at Pop's Club and Ed's Express I've picked up on a couple tips to pass on to incomers....

Pros: Big Campus, small city. Cons: Hard to meet people generally if not from area.
WHERE ITS AT...HUMANITIES (CONFUSED) The University of Wisconsin's art program is based in the urban legend Humanities Hall. Legend has it that the architecturist committed suicide when he realized Humanities was built incorrectly and jumped off the...

Pros: Beautiful city with lots to do Cons: Not so much that you will always be distracted
Let me just mention a little about myself. I grew up in California, went to college at UCLA and then lived in New York City for a few years. When I was first accepted to UW-Madison, I was concerned about my social life. One of the first things that I...

Pros: fan spirit, success of teams Cons: if don't have student season tickets to basketball and football, tickets are hard to come by
Considering the University of Wisconsin is a member of the Big Ten Conference, it's almost a no brainer to question whether athletics are a big thing here on campus.
In recent years, UW has garnered national fame by winning the Rose Bowl three...

Pros: variety of options Cons: sometimes the selection isn't as good
So you've heard that the University of Wisconsin has a reputation for being one of the top party schools in the nation. But what if you aren't into the drinking and party scene? Is there still stuff to do here? The answer my friends is yes.

Pros: Sports, Lake Mendota, Bar Scene, Madison Cons: No big city, not top 20 school, not too many urban folk
University of Wisconsin is King when it comes to the ultimate all around school. It has top notch education, unbelievable sports teams, and the best resources of any college in the world. I know this for a fact. I went to the University and Graduated...

Pros: Academic Programs, Social Activities, Friendly Atmosphere Cons: May be too big, Lack of personalized instruction
I am currently attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I'm in my third year of school here, and I feel as though my decision to attend here is validated every day.
The school is one of the largest in the nation and, thus, has...

Pros: Wide range of excellent professors. Honest and fun environment. Cons: Big program. Competitive admission and academics.
I had an extremely positive experience during the admissions process to graduate school. Madison was one of the few schools that didn't try to place the admissions game that has become standard in biological fields. At most schools, you submit an...

Pros: Academic quality and resources. Strong alumni group. Cons: Cold winters, no hand holding.
I selected UW in 1971 after visiting several of the Big 10 schools. The campus was the nicest by far and the atmosphere was very alive. I also looked at Michigan, Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois, and Purdue. I was coming from NJ and never had been west...

Pros: quieter, peaceful, very scenic Cons: a little further away from campus
Applying early for housing at this university is a definite must. As it is, you can only rate your choices in a 1-10 fashion, and that is vague enough. But the earlier you get your application in for housing, the more likely you will get your pick of...

Pros: Relatively easy for a top-notch school Cons: Probably more difficult for non-residents
As an undergrad at UW-Madison in the late 80's/early 90's I heard much talk from my out-of-state friends about admissions at UW. While I certainly can sympathize with folk's sense of rejection (I got some pretty nasty comments during my grad school...
