<p>It is absolutely not true. Most of my friends are from the minnesotta/wisconsin area. I am from massachusetts and I also have friends from other areas around the country. I have not seen any segregation other than the private dorms which are losing a lot of student due to new residence halls being built. There is a stereotype for “coasties” but its not really that big and mostly is a joke. As far as state schools go Wisconsin is definately more open and integrated than others I have seen.</p>
<p>Also I live in Smith this year, and its not all that it was cracked up to be. I wouldn’t recomend it.</p>
