<p>I graduated from both schools, thus I can say this from personal experience. The atmosphere at these two schools are very similar in many aspects, and I like them both.</p>
<p>Michigan is a bit better in most engineering disciplines … but since you are likely not gonna remain in engineering, it’s not a big factor. I’m somewhat surprised that you like the UM campus better. Personally I think the Madison campus is prettier, and like someone said, “you can’t beat drinking a beer at the union on the shores of Lake Mendota.” Oh, the home-made ice cream is definitely better in Madison.</p>
