[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I don't know anyone aside from a poster here who would compare Wisconsin to GA Tech for engineering, not a chance. But you can feel good that Wisconsin is solid in engineering and ABET-approved so that is good. There are GPA thresholds if that is a concern for your student - https://engineering.wisc.edu/student-services/undergraduate-student-advising/progression/

Other than that - great school spirit, fun college town, friendly people. Winter is tough and long though sunnier than the northeast schools. Drinking/partying is also a big deal.

Finally, keep in mind travel and network. Wisconsin people are all over but mostly midwest. And direct flights to DMV are not as frequent as places like Chicago, Boston, Miami, Charlotte, or wherever else.[/quote]

I was told that Madison really isn't a college town.  It is more of an urban school.[/quote]

Not Columbia/UPenn urban. Not Rice urban either. More like Ohio State urban - not among the skyscrapers, but not hiding in a suburb.[/quote]

Rice has no urban feeling on campus. It's a very beautiful campus but there's nothing urban about it.[/quote]
