Madison is a GREAT college town, no doubt. Milwaukee, however, is a great and beautiful city with immense cultural, economic, social, recreational, entertainment, dining and shopping amenities that a city the size of Madison simply cannot offer. And urban problems, too, of course. But put it all together and it makes Milwaukee a fascinating and vibrant city, and a great evening or weekend destination from Madison.

But back to the original topic, the original poster should have no concern about the “fun quotient” at the UW as opposed to the UDub. As a friend and fellow alum in Chicago has said about the Badger diaspora, “we the exiles spend most of our waking days plotting our return.”
