[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.

[b]Compared to an otherwise similar on paper city (Columbus, OH) [/b]Madison feels more ‘provincial’, significantly smaller, more like a 2 company town, and more isolated. [/quote]
Well yeah, Columbus is city of almost 900k and Madison has about 250k...[/quote]
