Penn State or UW-Madison?

Yes, UW and PSU are pretty similar all around, similar academically, similar climate, big on sports, top public schools. As previously mentioned, PSU has one of the best alumni networks out there for a public school, and has a strong presence along the east coast.

I’m going to assume that since you’re an international student you haven’t visited the campuses (correct me if I’m wrong) - but the best way to decide between two similar schools like these IMO is to picture the campus setting and what you would be most comfortable with for the next four years. Personally I liked the feel of State College where everything in the surrounding area revolved around Penn State. It’s a fantastic college town that really caters to what the students need. Madison from what I hear is also a great college town but UW isn’t the only thing going on there like it is at PSU.
