Youv'e got plenty to do at wisc

Introduction
Basically you’ve got every season here that you want winter and summer – you have ice fishing you’ve got a kite event – in the middle of winter everyone goes out on the ice and races kites - in the summer you’ve got canoeing, sailing, I actually had an opportunity to flip over my canoe with my girlfriend – I had to get rescued by the coast guard – so you got Bassemhoe which you’ve got to climb like every day freshman year. You’ve got the Mifflin block party which happens may 1st I believe which is like an all campus party on Mifflin Street which is like – every house has a party. You’ve got crazy football games during the fall, crazy basketball games that just ended in the Spring that what goes on campus. You’ve got Frat parties if you want to go to Frat parties – they get crazy during the spring. Everyone ends up at bars close by to them during the winter.

Campus Life and Social Life
Average class size for English major you start out with larger lecture size, a couple hundred, 2 to 3 hundred people – it whittles down to about 25, 30 people a classroom. You have you’re discussion teachers which you’re discussion class is like 15 – 20 in your big lectures.

With the major the course load it can get intense during some classes like the core classes, which are the beginning classes are very extreme. The reading is enormous. What you do is like for me at least I wouldn’t do work fir a couple of days, then I‘d spend all night reading. So it can be hours of reading a week if you keep up. It’s a pretty rigorous course load.

Academics
As far as guys go, it does help if you want to be in a fraternity for like things to do to try to get involved in activities if you don’t know too many people that will automatically give you a group of friends its kind of sad to say but it’ll give you a group of friends to hang out with and it gives you parties too – so I would recommend doing it as a freshman because it definitely teaches you also like camaraderie and different ki8nds of brotherhood that you wouldn’t know otherwise – cause a lot of other groups on campus don’t promote things like that.

Student Body
Diversity in terms of ethnicities I don’t think it is that strong but there are I mean we do have a I think a diverse culture kind of in terms of you have people with a lot of different like, with a lot of different interests so that kind of creates diversity in itself – in terms of just a great group mix of people in terms of their likes and dislikes so I think that’s diversity in itself – but in terms of racial diversity some but not much.

In Closing...
Protests and demonstrations occur pretty often I mean it’s a pretty – the students have large voice on campus so they tend to happen often. I9 just witnessed one a week ago actually and you know the police keep them pretty confined but actually the craziest – it wasn’t exactly a protest but definitely on Halloween I mean its basically like a demonstration – students after the bars close come out onto state street, which is the main street in Madison and last year a riot broke out and everything was thrown, glasses were broken, windows were broken and it really ended bad as we got tear gassed but that doesn’t really happen often in Madison – its just a once in a blue moon thing but it definitely was a memorable experience and something I’ll always remember. But in terms of like demonstrations for political demonstrations they don’t happen too often.
