I’m a UW student now and have had very good experiences with the political atmosphere here. Yes, UW is extremely liberal but the city of Madison is also the most liberal city in WI. Yes, you will encounter protests and people standing on their “soap boxes” on Library Mall and State Street and yes, you may be offended on occasion. However, I have never felt pressured or vicitmized by any of the demonstrators. UW is one of the most intellectually and politically active campuses in the nation but if you walk on campus with an open mind, you won’t have any issues Also, if you’re interested, there are College Republicans (and College Democrats) chapters on campus if you’re looking to join an organization in the fall.
