Wisconsin Prestige

Someone mentioned Madison’s buisness program…and I know this is a bit off topic, but:

Although Madison is the most prestigious of the UW schools (by leaps and bounds), UW - Whitewater has an outstanding buisness program. They have very good job placement rates after graduation, and a very comprehensive education

I only know this because I live in-state, but it’s something to look into if you are considering buisness. It doesn’t have the prestige, though…so dismiss this advice if you plan to live outside of the Midwest.

Also, one of my friend’s ended up at Madison, and LOVES it. She lives on the Lakeshore dorms - there are a few dorms that are a bit removed from the whole big party scene and they are right next to one of the lakes. (Madison is SO beautiful. It’s amazing in the summer.) It’s less crazy, and she has only been to State Street a few times. (State Street: bars, shops, coffehouses…pretty much awesome during the day, but it gets crazy on weekend nights. Also where the infamous Halloween celebrations usually go down.)
