[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how do the Midwesterners treat the kid from Bethesada or McLean?  [/quote]

It is a big school with many students from Wisconsin, Minneapolis area, Chicago area. But there are also many students from both the East and West Coasts and International. There is no one type of student. There are preppy people, jocks, hipsters, etc and people don't really stereotype as much. If you are a good student and open to meeting people you can fit in easily. Going to school in Madison is the middle ground between a rural college that is isolated and going to school in the middle of NYC. Anyone can fit in and find friends and academic opportunities. My school(private East Coast) was much more isolated, preppy, laxbro  drinking culture (yes, I am stereotyping my own school- not everyone was like that and I liked my school ok). But it seems my SO had a much better experience because there was no one type of person at UW. Just hardworking fun college students with less hangups. I think the mindset in the Midwest is that if you are open to them, they are open to you.[/quote]
