Why did you choose to go there if you don’t respect it? It must have been what you thought was the “best” school to which you were accepted? Good choice, then! I can tell you they limit the number of MN kids they accept because everyone wants to go there, so it has become a reach for most students here. I suggest you stop talking to prestige-obsessed students. The kids I know at Madison absolutely love it.
This could become a self-fulfilling prophecy if you continue your lament. Go to the career center, get an internship in the summers and show those employers your best work. That is how the Madison (and other college) kids I know get jobs. I know two Madison seniors right now who have had jobs in hand since last summer at reputable companies which you’ve heard of. They are pretty happy!
