Madison is the city on the Isthmus, you know that term you probably forgot from social studies somewhere along the way. We have two lakes that surround a narrow slip of land that has all of the “downtown.” The lakes are Mendota, and Monona, both are very large for boating, crew, etc. The campus itself sits down about a mile from the state capital building on a street called state street. You’ve probably heard alot about this part of town. Part of the campus is on a small hill called Bascom hill, and there are plenty of trees, green space, and lakeshore. The campus is fairly large and hence everyone either has a bicycle or the ever popular moped. Suggestion…don’t bring a car, there is no parking in the Campus area. hmmm we have an arboretum and a brand new overture center. Located on state street it is the single biggest philanthropic donation in U.S. history. http://www.overturecenter.com/ o and the population of the city is 208,000 ( i drive by the sign everyday tehe)
