[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to college near Madison and thought it was essentially the best place on earth. Looking back, I think I was a bit blinded by the fact that it is a great college town, but I still am pro-.

It’s small, although in some ways feels like it shouldn’t be. It also has a ‘2 company town’ kind of feel if you’re on the isthmus — the companies being the State government and the University. It doesn’t have a particularly useful airport and it is a trek to O’Hare or Milwaukee. The wind whipping across the lakes in the winter can be brutal.

But otherwise, it’s very pretty, has a great vibe for same sex couples, fabulous co-ops, great athletic options, and decent restaurants that are way cheaper than what you’d get in DC.

Compared to an otherwise similar on paper city (Columbus, OH) Madison feels more ‘provincial’, significantly smaller, more like a 2 company town, and more isolated. [/quote]
