You idiots are so vapid, they treat them like they treat anyone else you twit. Bethesda and McLean are not the center of the universe and "Midwesterners" are not some alien species...get a frigging life asshole.

Lol, there are plenty of suburbs of Chicago (and other Midwestern cities) that are more similar than different to Bethesda or McLean. I would hazard a guess an upper middle class kid from Bethesda and an upper middle class kid from Winnetka are going to be similar to one another than either would be to a rural farm kid from Southern IL.

I can't imagine the appeal of attending a university where 80% of the student body hails from......Wisconsin.

Do New York employers recruit on campus?

Well I guess it’s a good thing only 62% hail from Wisconsin 🙄

You should be so lucky. Wisconsin is a great state with great people. But they don’t want elitist wannabes like you coming in and ruining that, so you just stay in NOVA.

I can't imagine the appeal of writing a hateful comment that would be hurtful to many good people. But you know, you do you.

By the way, where are you from?

You are really leading with your chin here. College Park isn’t a very desirable place to attend school.

I'm sure Wisconsin is full of great people but why would anybody OOS want to endure the dull homogeneity of any state school?

It's not that homogeneous. Yes, Wisconsin is a very white state, but Madison and the University reflect more diversity than the state. It could be a lot better, but it's not all lily white.

Don’t try to apologize for Wisconsin. It’s a great school in a great state. Great combination of academics, athletics and school spirit. Anyone who attends is lucky to be there.

Actually, Madison is not diverse at all. While there may be many races there, the ideological conformity is oppressive, much like DCUM Madison is controlled by the goose-stepping and fascist liberal "elite" just like almost every other college town. If you want to experience real people, the Wisconsin tavern culture is always available with a short field trip. If you want to stay in your liberal cocoon, be sure to take a dump in the lap of the Lincoln statue on the top of Bascom Hill.

"Tavern culture"? What's that?

For computer science major, would you recommend Wisconsin or UMD (in-state) for a smart kid that isn’t into sports or parties (on autism spectrum but highly intelligent). We have money for both schools.

I see you missed the Smithsonian folklife festival of 1998.

These vague references suggest to me you are an oldie and yeah, I admit, I'm probably a philistine.
