East-Coast Reputation

<p>I'm from Minnesota and I am going to Madison next year, but I am wondering exactly how good of reputation/alumni connections UW has on the east coast. I like the Midwest, but I don't really want to stay here my entire life. How helpful would a Madison degree be if I wanted to get a job in a place like Boston or Philly? I'm pretty set on going to UW next year so that's almost a for sure thing, but I'm just curious about this. I know it supposedly has a pretty decent rep out there.</p>

<p>BTW, I'm planning on double majoring in Finance and Real Estate.</p>

<p>Networking- major alumni clubs all over the country since people come from all over is an advantage. You could check out the alumni page on the UW website for more info.</p>

<p>There is a large and active UW club in NYC. A fair number of RE grads also work there and the RE Club is very well established with meeting in each major city. I got my MS in RE Finance ane found it a great industry and the UW RE degree is very respected.<br>
The Dean recently just approved more RE faculty and a new program</p>
