You would think prospective students and their parents would get turned off after touring the campus and then heading down to State Street for lunch and you encounter these people.

The thing is, I went to Madison last year for Forensics and explored state street for a while with some friends (it was about this same time, but last year). I don’t even remember seeing any homeless people (maybe one person asked for money). I’ll be going there for 4 days next week (2 days for a college visit and 2 days for State Forensics), so I’ll have to keep an eye out to evaluate whether it is as big a problem as you say. I know it’s a problem though (I have read about it at numerous places), but I have read the ends of both extremes.
