Why the University of Wisconsin-Madison?

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is a world-class university, nationally and internationally recognized for its academic excellence, amazing students, inspiring faculty, and beautiful campus and community.

And there's the campus - often considered one of the most beautiful in the United States. Ask any Wisconsin graduate and they’ll fondly recall afternoons spent on the Union Terrace, watching the sailboats, sipping a cool drink while talking with classmates. Other favorite sites include Bascom Hill, with its iconic statue of Abraham Lincoln, the outdoor Library Mall that offers food and music from around the globe, and the Lakeshore Path that winds throughout the wooded campus.

When it comes to sports, a football Saturday at Wisconsin’s historic Camp Randall stadium is a truly memorable experience.  If you are more of a hockey fan or basketball fanatic, you’ll still find plenty to cheer about at the Kohl Center. More interested in your own sporting life? Sailing, windsurfing, swimming, tennis, volleyball, basketball, and exercise programs are just a few of the options offered at the various recreational facilities throughout campus.
