It is terrific that Madision is a prestigious school However I am more interested in learning about how serious students themselves experience being at such a big school in terms of feeling that there is enough sense of community and attention from profs. I have never quite understood the hype that small colleges deliver about your prof inviting you to dinner. I do not think students or profs necessarily need to interact outside of the campus.

I just wonder if you feel that you are getting enough individualized attention to your work , that you are able to interact on an academic level with profs–in class and during office hours. And is the pervasive partying about which one reads intrusive to your own sense of quality of life? That is, to the many many very intellectually and politically engaged students at u.w., do you feel that the quality of your education is of a high caliber and, more importantly, satisfying and enjoyable? Do you sometimes or often wish you had attended a small liberal arts college. THANKS to all responders.
