Hello incoming freshman,
I am a sophomore at UW Madison, and I remember when I was first looking through CC trying to figure out student life when deciding between colleges. If you had any questions regarding student life during COVID, ask away and I’ll try to respond when I can!
Thanks for coming back to share your experience! Perspectives like yours are so valuable to other students. My question would be, did you apply to other schools and what were some things that helped you decide to attend UW Madison?
Hey Mike,
To answer your question, yes I applied to roughly 10+ schools, and was mainly in between UW Madison and UW Seattle. I toured both campuses, and decided that I enjoyed the location proximity was better (since I lived in Illinois), and there was a more in-campus community. To elaborate on that, I heard at the time that UW Seattle was more of a commuter school, so there wasn’t much of a presence compared to a college town like UW Madison. Those were just some factors that made me choose Madison.
