Pros: one of the best public schools in the United States Cons: some may find the social environment harsh if you don't share the overall point of view
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May of 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in English Literature. I was a transfer to Wisconsin from the University of Denver. For two years of my college career I majored in both English and...
Pros: One of best cities in country, high academic standards, national alumni connections, lakes, activities Cons: Big first, then becomes small. Two months of winter weather. Partying is big, but avoidable.
UW Madison has gotten even better and tougher academically since early 80's when I attended. But I regularly hire interns from UW as a business owner and speak at student organization on campus each year, and can offer some good perspective. Also have ...
Pros: Inexhaustible resources, outstanding academics, beautiful campus and city, plenty of outdoor rec opportunities... Cons: Nothing significant.
My Background I completed a Bachelor of Science degree at UW-Madison in the mid 90's. After completing a Master of Arts degree at Oh
io
University, I returned to Madison to work on my Ph.D. During this time, ...
Pros: Great education/social life, opportunities are great! Cons: Madison is an alcohol sink like none other.
I'm a Freshman at UW-Madison and I can perfectly describe to you the freshman experience. But first, a little background about myself: I was a crappy student in high school. I was in the BOTTOM 3rd of my class. The only reason why I am currently at ...
Pros: State Street, the Agricultural Frat, Coed Dorms, House Parties, Football & Hockey Cons: Sorority Girls, Liberals, You Actually Have to Go to Class
My poor, dear 'ol dad. He so did not want me to go to this school. You see, we had a deal -- as long as I was attending school (and had his last name -- that will be important to know for a yet-to-be-written review), I'd have a place to live, and...
Pros: Best game coaching and teaching in America Cons: We don't allow cons on the team
Some time ago I wrote a review of Coach Bennett's program entitled "Can they take the next step?" In that piece I questioned if even the excellent coaching of Bennett could overcome the relative deficiency of talent in his program compared to...
Pros: Great school, top-notch Cons: acceptance proccess is what I'm here to talk about
I won't bore you with another review of how great the school is--because it is a great school and I'm sure the graduates can easily describe it much easier. I just want to warn potential high school student about something so that they don't make a big...
Pros: nice city, great reputation, strong faculty in some areas Cons: cold and unwelcoming, struggle over financial aid
Many say that visiting the departments you are considering gives you a feel for whether it's the right place for you--and they are right! When considering departments of sociology for my PhD work, I visited Wisconsin among others. Wisconsin really...
Pros: #4 Ranked School in the US Cons: Self-Direction is a Must
I graduated in May of 1990 from the College of Letters and Science with a degree in English Literature. When I graduated, the University of Wisconsin had the fourth-ranked English Department in the entire country, accounting for public and private...
Pros: Academic excellence, variety of athletics, organizations/club, world renounced professors and enough to do. Cons: Winter weather, may seem overwhelming at first
I finished my freshman year at Madison and have had the full experience of what it is to be a badger. I attended a fairly good high school and was pretty successful graduating with above a 4.0. Many of my counselors though still told me I wouldn't get ...
Pros: Learn a lot about people Cons: Annoying, Time Consuming
I currently attend UW-Madison, a wonderful University with a great campus. I am convinced that UW has the most liberal campus in the United States. This is one of the few things that bothers me about UW. Right in the middle of campus we have Memorial...
Pros: Nice campus location Cons: It is a residence hall, it is noisy, hard to study in your room
Part of the problem with having a campus of 30,000+ students is finding a place to house them all, especially in a town as small as Madison. Madison had, in 1990, a permanent population of around 110,000. Obviously, with almost 30% added to the...
Pros: Lots of different ideas and people Cons: Not a cheap place to live and nowhere to park
While I didn't seem to manage to graduate from UW-Madison, I did spend the first three years of a long and illustrious college career there (grain of salt to be inserted here), and I must rise up to defend a university I fell in love with. I think the ...
Pros: Excellent school, great academic program, something for everyone Cons: With 30,000+ students, competition for classes is fierce
I graduated in 1990 from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in English Literature. I had, for two years, double-majored in English and Journalism. I attended this school in my junior and senior year, having transferred from a different...
