UW-Madison Knows How To Party!

Mem3184, I’m sorry you feel that way, but my understanding is that this board isn’t meant to be – or, at least, isn’t meant to be limited to – a cheerleading forum for parents of enrolled students. It’s a board where posters should feel free to post both positive AND negative information about a school, which in either case the reader can be presumed to be intelligent enough to take into account or dismiss as they see fit. What a poster should never do is hurl personal insults at any other poster (for example, using “babble” to refer to their posts) – this is inconsistent with CC rules, and is something that you will never see me do.

I happen to have the opinion that UW is a very good school in many ways but is also lacking in other significant ways (chiefly diversity, graduation rates, and financial aid). I’m entitled to my opinion, just as you’re entitled to yours, and no amount of chiding by you will make me go away.

If you want to start another website limited to UW boosters with one-sided opinions, have at it.
