Yes on my visit I encountered at least 5 beggars on state street on a daily basis. They seem to hassle you quite a bit and if you just keep to yourself they just mumble something to you like “well whatever have a blessed day!” I was kind of turned off by this but my family and I realize this happens in all major cities and cant be avoided. It was still a bit of a turn off to me but it didn’t ruin UW-Madison;s image in my eyes, I still love the school. I definitly see more begging going on downtown Mpls but of course they have a larger population then Madison, but it will always happen in big cities.
