Dislikes:

  • Community- Personally, I would have liked more outreach support .
  • Segregation fees- In spite of having a stipend, we had to pay segregation fees which can be financially demanding .

Campus Life

While I wasn't very active in campus activities, there was no dearth of relevant campus events. However, most of them seemed to be catered towards undergraduate students.

Campus Life

As compared to other colleges the Indian diaspora is very low which is good and bad. A lot of extra curriculars. Student support is provided in terms of free (limited) groceries provided every Thursday, free food is not hard to find.

Dislikes:

  • I hate the location as there is nothing to do apart from the campus life as Madison is a very small city. The winters in Madison are brutal and being from a city where it never snows it is tough to manage. null

Campus Life

There are more than 100 clubs in the university and almost all the extracurricular activities that you can think of. The sports are very competitive and the WIFI connection is amazing.

Dislikes:

  • Weather is not very friendly but is manageable with the right set of clothes. All graduate level courses require you to read research papers on a regular basis and the projects will also be research centered. It will be difficult at first but you’ll soon get used to it. null

Campus Life

Campus infrastructure is very good. Each department/school has clubs and organizations that hold meetings/game nights/social events to get to know each other and have fun. In addition, there’s also a lot of academic related events conducted by each professor.

I live at Eagle Heights which is the university’s graduate student housing location. Infrastructure is very good and very safe neighborhood (exclusively grad students, PhD and post docs). It’s a bit far from campus but you have excellent public transport.

Dislikes:

  • There is nothing that I dislike about the university but the climate of Madison might be a deterrent for potential admits. It is quite random in the early summer months and gets very cold in the winter. null

Campus Life

Campus life is absolutely amazing with so many things to do on campus like club activities, international student events, technical events, and so on. There are two incredible recreational centers inside campus equipped with courts, swimming pools and multi-floor gyms. Inside the campus, UWNet is a free Wifi that is provided which is very quick and the signal is great throughout the campus!

University Housing is the best option but it needs to be booked well in advance as it tends to fill up very fast. Otherwise, get apartments that are close to the bus line so that travel is very easy and ensure you are not overpaying for the place you are staying in. Most importantly, get on a video call with the apartment/house owner and ask them to do a video tour of the house so that you get a proper idea of what you are getting! Ideally, the rent range you should be paying in Madison is around 500 to 700 USD. Anything over that is costly when it comes to sharing a house. Taking individual accommodation is not ideal as it is pretty costly and most Studio Apartments cost upward of 1,000 USD per month.

Dislikes:

  • While there are numerous aspects I adore about the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I must acknowledge a few challenges that have impacted my experience. One notable factor is the weather, particularly during the winters. The extreme cold temperatures can be quite daunting, and the shorter days with early sunsets sometimes give a feeling of melancholy. The university occasionally closes early due to inclement weather, which can disrupt schedules and affect productivity. Nevertheless, it's an opportunity to embrace the beauty of winter and indulge in cozy campus activities like hot cocoa gatherings or winter festivals. null
  • Another aspect that can pose difficulties is the course enrollment process. Being a public university, there is high demand for popular classes, and they tend to fill up quickly. This can occasionally result in challenges in securing all the desired courses, which may require careful planning and flexibility to create an optimal degree plan. However, the university's academic advisors and support services are available to assist in navigating these situations and finding alternative solutions. null
  • Additionally, the cost of living in Madison, including rental prices, can be quite high. This financial aspect can create some struggles for students, including myself, at times. However, it's important to note that the university offers various resources such as financial aid, scholarships, and part-time job opportunities to help alleviate these challenges. Exploring cost-saving measures, such as shared housing or seeking affordable off-campus options, can also contribute to managing expenses effectively. null

These extracurricular organizations provide ample opportunities for students to explore their interests, make lifelong friendships, and foster a sense of community.

With an array of social, cultural, and athletic opportunities available, the campus life at the University of Wisconsin-Madison offers a dynamic and enriching environment.

I live in college dorms they are very good and have good amenities but you need to take a food plan with the dorms which is a down side for people who are vegetarian like me and have no use of the food plan , the dorms have study rooms , lounges and huge rooms shared by 2 or 3 people and shared toilets which is well maintained. I pay 770$ a month for this.

Yes. The dorm that I live in (sellery) is one of the older residence halls. Therefore, the infrastructure is not the best and the most modern. However, the rooms are a decent size and come with appliances such as an air conditioner and a mini fridge. The newly renovated dorms that I have seen are extremely nice on the other hand.

I wanted to major in computer science and out of all the universities that I had gotten into, UW-Madison had the highest ranking (around 11th position in the US) in comp sci. Furthermore, this university has a major focus and offers great opportunities in sports, which I wanted to continue pursuing from high school.
