"I benefit from the regular seminars. It is encouraging to listen good speakers and get a chance to talk with professors outside of classroom. It is valuable to see them asking questions, involving with the seminar talks and observing their methods for grasping a subject. I will be able to write about the cons of the program in future. It should be on the lack of competitiveness."

"UW is the best school there is in my opinion. If you want to be in a great city with concerts, bars, sporting events, and shows this place is for you. The academics are outstanding. The college sports teams win. There are thousands of students to interact with and a student club or activity for anyone."

"One of the best colleges one can be in. I said "be in" and not "study in", because this college is among the top 10 universities across the nation among many categories. Whether it be academically or whether it be the prospect of getting a good job, or improving one's extra-curricular skills with the available infinite opportunities to expand your capabilities as an individual irrespective of the major you choose. It is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. With few lakes around the campus, and the fall colors so vibrant, this campus is definitely the most picturesque among the ones I visited. The research that goes in this college is wide and deep enough for people interested in research to work here on any subject they are interested in. Finally, it is the home of Badgers!!"

"The program has the absolute best professors a student could ask for with expertise in every area. The building is older and can get cold at certain times but this is a small price to pay for the level of education you will get from some of the top professors in the field. I would not want to go anywhere else!"

"College was one of the best and hardest things I have done. It is a lot of fun, but be aware that it will take a lot of effort to succeed. Also I recommend choosing a school with extra-curricular groups that you would enjoy. Having a good group of friends makes all the difference."

"It's a big school and it can be hard to find your place, but eventually you will grow into it and have a great experience. They throw so many extracurricular opportunities at you at first that it can be overwhelming, but you're better off picking one thing and sticking with it. You won't have much free time outside of studying anyway"
