<p>Which school would I have the best college experience at? (Academics, social atmosphere)</p>
<p>These two will have virtually the same experience as an undergrad as far as atmosphere and academics go. I’m an OSU alum and I love it there, but if cost was the same, I give Wisconsin the slight edge due to State Street (superior to High Street) and the beautiful lakes on campus. The drawback would be the colder winters.<br>
Both are great schools with a great atmosphere.</p>
<p>University of Wisconsin, academically is the superior institution and Madison is a great town. For me, barring any financial considerations, Wisconsin would be a no brainer.</p>
<p>The posters so far have missed the Cal Poly part of the question. Won’t Cal Poly be much less expensive than the other two?</p>
<p>UW- Madison is by far the best of the three… however, it’s always up to the applicant…it;s better to chooce the right than the best college…</p>
