I would like to hear from kids who are at Wisconsin now, if you have time to reply. How do serious students find the atmosphere? Is the bureaucracy of a big school counterproductive to learning? Are you overwhelmed in class or socially by the numbers. Is there the kind of seriousness of purpose that you may have hoped for. I know Madison has a beautiful spirit and is a fabulous town and the school is so rich in its offerings. But on a human level, does the scale make the learning experience less immediate and positive than a small or medium school might in terms of life style and class size? Thanks for taking the time to respond. Specifically my d. will major in philosophy and a social science minor probably. Does this department form its own community of learners? Where is the best place to live? Thanks. D has been accepted and these are some questions.
