University of Wisconsin-Madison Top Questions

Our school is best known for pioneering the Wisconsin Idea, the concept that the work of the University should empower every citizen of the state. Much of the research and professional activity here impacts the larger Madison and Wisconsin community. It's fun and an honor to contribute to that larger mission as a student.

My school is very well-known for lots of things such as parties, good sports teams, and good facilities. I would say the thing we are most known for is our school spirit though. The students that attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison are loud and proud about attending this school, and the alumni are proud to associate themselves with the university and often come back to celebrate various accomplishments of the University.

We party hard, study hard, and produce leaders. We have a lot of wild campus-wide parties like Haloween and Miflin Street Block Party. We also have a lot of libraries that are amazing and open at all hours. Students spend a lot of time studying. Seventeen chief executive officers of Fortune 500 companies hold degrees from University of Wisconsin-Madison, making the Badgers one of the largest producers of today's corporate leaders.

Football, hockey, and basketball. Madison is also a great research school and has some of the top programs in the nation.

before coming to UW-Madison I knew that Wisconsin was known for being one of the top universities in the US, having well-qualified faculty, a beautiful campus and loyal students that were proud to be badgers.

The academic research labs

Madison is best know for all the fun, FREE events it holds. There is always lots to do and a great group of people who help you to stay focussed. The FREE services that are offered are excellent and truly help you to fall in love with the campus everyday.

The school is probably best known for its academics and also its parties (when I applied, I did not know it was a party school but apparently everyone else did). The professors do their own research and are usually really well known and experienced professionals.

The series of waves at Camp Randall Stadium on saturdays in the Fall are AMAZING. The slow one, the fast one, the double criss-cross. It's amazing. And, of course, JUMP AROUND.

On the top of Bascom Hill, we have a statue of Abraham Lincoln seated in a chair. Two really great traditions that we have at our school have to do with Abe. The first, every semester on the first day of your finals, you are supposed to rub Abe's foot for good luck. I am convinced that this works. Just wait until you get here and try it! Second, on the day of your graduation from this great university, you are supposed to climb up into Abe's lap and whisper all of your hopes and dreams for the future into his ear. Less seriously and more fun, my absolute favorite tradition in which I have participated thus far is the Southeast vs. Lakeshore Snowball Fight. Every time that there's a snow day (and let's be real, this is Wisconsin so it happens pretty much once a year), UW students head out to Bascom Hill in their designated color (either red or black, depending on which side you're supporting) and let the snow fly. It's chaos at its finest and everyone goes home soaking wet, but it's a great time.

My university is best known for its party environment; there are plenty of parties that take place all throughout campus. Students can enjoy themselves literally every night of their university career, although they should still use moderation. The University of Wisconsin-Madison is also the home of the Badger Herald, the nation's largest student-run, financially independent newspaper. It's an excellent way to get information about what's going on in the campus.

My school is best known for it's school spirit (GO Badgers!) and it's party-scene reputation. In the career realm, I would say that UW is well-known for it's ability to provide CEO's for important companies and educating it's students to be the best in their desired fields.

I would have to say research. There are so many opportunities to assist a professor in his or her own research as well as funding for one's own research or thesis. I had a friend that studied fruit flies and their behavior for a year, which simply amazed me. I go to a univeristy that can offer such experience to engage what one has learned and challenge one to apply it to real situations and real research. Not only that, but UW-Madison has some of the best researchers in the nation if not world - incredible.
