<p>do you feel that the campus big or small? also is the maintenance of the campus crappy or good? i heard its integrated with the city of madison so iam guessing not too much green space? lastly i understand this is a problem with all public universities but do you feel that the student body/university is just too crowded or big?</p>

<p>oh last one. for real. how cold is it exactly during winter. i grew up in the northeast. would i still have a hard time adjusting?</p>

<p>Who told you the campus is integrated with the city of Madison and that it doesn't have a lot of green space?</p>

<p>The UW-Madison campus is one of the most beautiful I've been to. The campus lies along Lake Mendota. See for yourself... <a href="http://www.uc.wisc.edu/slideshow/slideshow.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.uc.wisc.edu/slideshow/slideshow.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The cold seems to have become part of history. The last five winters were mild--more like the NJ winters. You will get a few very cold days.</p>

<p>The campus is big but most of it is very green with lots of lawns and several parks.</p>

<p>the campus isnt all that big for a state school. Around 900 acres so 10 times smaller than stanford, half the size of maryland, and only 300 acres bigger than conn college and other LAC's. I think the smaller size has to do with it being in the city so everything can be together in close proximity. There seem to be about 6 or 7 streets that make up the entire campus but if you have to walk across the campus it can be a real hike.</p>

<p>does anyone have any good videos/pictures of the campus/city?</p>

<p>tsdad those must be older pics, I didn't see any construction on state street which there seems to be a lot of now.</p>

<p>They are going to renovate all of SS (the walkways, planters, etc.) a few blocks at a time over the next few years--needed but messy. There also is some new building proposed up near the Capitol.</p>
