<p>Which is better for business?</p>
<p>Which is cheaper for a MN resident?</p>
<p>Which would you recommend overall?</p>
<p>well, with reciprocity, Wisconsin and Minnesota students can go to either university with in-state tuition. That means a wisconsinite pays less to go to minnesota than someone from minnesota. So the cost will be the same.</p>
<p>Wisconsin is also ranked higher for business and overall.</p>
<p>Finally, Madison is considered one of the best college towns in the country</p>

<p>Link?</p>

<p>Bump for more opinions</p>
<p>wisconsin is way better and ranked way higher than UM</p>
<p>They're considered peer schools (same tier), and both will cost the same. </p>
<p>Go with the one you like better.</p>
<p>How does the partying at Minnesota compare with that at Wisconsin?</p>
<p>How is the diversity of the student body in terms of different races at both universities?</p>
<p>Which one has more financial resources?</p>
<p>lol...which one has better dorms and facilities?
Which one has a better looking student body?</p>
<p>I am a U of MN alumnus, just to let you know my "bias." But my usual bias in giving advice to students shopping for colleges is to advise them to study farther away from home rather than closer. So if the student asking now lives in Minnesota, my advice is to take advantage of tuition reciprocity and study in Wisconsin. You see a new place that way, meet more people from places you've never been to, and generally have a more broadening experience by getting farther away from home.</p>
<p>They may be peer schools in the sense that they are both large comprehensive state universities but UW is in the top tier of national universities and always has been while UMinn is solidly in the next tier. You can look at the student quality, faculty quality, research budgets, etc etc and UW is a cut above. UW focuses on matching Michigan and UCLA and Berkeley while UM tries to catch UW. UMinn does have a number of very good departments and the professional schools are excellent. UW just has a little extra.</p>

<p>Anyway, those were legit questions. Bump.</p>
<p>dont listen to anyone who says wisconsin's business program is better. they are equal in virtually every aspect (except for the usnews rankings which mean nothing) state street at wisconsin has about a billion bars so if you get into drinking thats the best school out there. i personally like minneapolis more than madison because it has everything madison has to offer and then some. especially if you are looking for a business internship in the area, 3M, Best Buy, and Target all have corporate in minneapolis.</p>
<p>State street has as many restaurants from Italian to Nepalese as bars. It has as many clothing stores too. It has nearly as many coffeehouses. It also has a more residential campus and much more student contact outside school. Uminn has mostly commuters. Not to mention the better sports and school spirit. And the Unions and the lake.
Uminn does not have this:</p>
<p>I'm not into school spirit or sports, and in fact I hate drinking.</p>

<p>The Carlson School of Management at the U of M is highly regarded, but the U of W is more prestigious overall.</p>

</p>
<p>The cost will be slightly higher at U of W, but you'll be paying near-in-state tuition at either one. Cost won't vary that much, maybe by a few thousand dollars.</p>
<p>

Which would you recommend overall?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>If you hate drinking... U of W might not be the right choice.</p>
<p>Then go to Uminn. You'll fit right in.</p>
<p>If you hate sports and drinking, don't go to a major D1 state school at all. </p>
<p>WI is the self-proclaimed beer capital of the country.</p>
<p>Just to set the record straight. A Minnesota resident would NOT pay any more to go to Wisconsin. The two universities have a reciprocity agreement, meaning Minnesota residents pay in-state tuition at Minnesota AND Wisconsin.</p>

<p>I don't hate sports, I'm just definitely not crazy about them and school spirit. I definitely do hate drinking and a culture that revolves around it, however.</p>
<p>Now, how is racial diversity at both unis? This is very important to me.</p>
