Are the people at UW-Madison relaxed?

<p>Are there some relaxed/kicked back people at this school. If so what are some examples.</p>

<p>Are you talking about students? If so, the fact that they are always at the top of the party/drinking/smoking lists should be a pretty good indicator that there are plently of "kicked back" people at UW.</p>

<p>Absolutely!</p>

<p>Do those people occupy the majority of student body?
Is the learning milieu productive in the school?</p>

<p>I believe the term is work hard party hard. Most people find time to do both.</p>

<p>My son is a freshman (not at UW, although many friends attend the local flagship). It's a little early to tell, but according to the grapevine, the HS partiers are still partying, the HS hard-workers are still working hard. One of the locals was so relaxed that her parents moved her home before Labor Day; another is working diligently and actively avoiding frat parties. </p>

<p>It's a big, diverse school. You will find it all.</p>

<p>UW is 10% Greek. Smallest in the Big Ten. Shouldn't be hard to avoid.</p>
