Madison@Wisconsin

Rating: 3/5 (52 ratings)
Introduction
Wisconsin is just a really good school and when I got I was really excited because a lot of my other friends came here and I thought it would be really nice to go somewhere kind of close home but just far enough away and I would still knew people there so I just decided it would be a really comfortable atmosphere.

I really think Madison is such a great campus for students. It offers so much – I love living off of like State Street. There’s just so many fun places to go, there’s always a concert to go to, or like an event. I really think Madison offers a lot.

Campus Life and Social Life
There’s so many clubs Madison offers I cant even name them all just from intramural sports to like advertising clubs I really think they have a club for everyone – earlier this year I was on Dance Elite which is club dance line and that was a really fun expererience I got to meet a lot of people through that. I’m also in AD Phi, which is a sorority, and I really love meeting all the girls, it just helps me connect with the campus more.

Academics
I think it really depends on the size of your class and some of mine I’m in lecture halls where there’s 700 people like in others like Spanish class for instance it’s a smaller setting with like 20 kids. And the workload – there is a lot of work at college, but I guess that’s what you just have to expect but all of us just get through it. You just have to study and you’ll be fine.

In the bigger lectures I don’t really have a relationship with the professor – more so I have a relationship with my Spanish Teacher, because the class is smaller. But I think if you would like a relationship with a professor you’re able to because the do offer office hours and you’re always able to contact them so I think that’s a nice thing.

Student Body
The food in the private residence hall I think is pretty good I mean there’s always something you can find to eat and Gordon Commons is the common area to eat for those that live in the Public dorms – I hear that’s not too bad but I hear that the Private residence halls have better food. Restaurants – I don’t really go to many that are on campus but off campus I usually go to restaurants on State Street and they have some really good ethnic restaurants.

They have just like two ethnic restaurants like Borocca and Whonose and a lot of people love going there – like African food and Mediterranean and Sun Room café is also popular for like breakfast lunch and dinner and then there’s also we have like staples – we have Chipotle and Noodles and I mean there always nice to go to because there quick and easy.

In Closing...
We do pre-game in the dorms which is just like drinking before we go out a lot of the times we gather in one persons room and it’ll just be really fun and then we’ll end up going out – we usually go to bars off State Street some of the most popular ones I think are Still Waters, Angellics, State, State Street Broads and KK and I really don’t feel that it’s hard to get into them – a lot of people have fake ID’s and they’re not too harsh.
