[quote=Anonymous][quote]In every other respect UW-Madison is in a very different class. UW Madison is ranked higher both as an undergraduate institution (which should be your child's main interest at this point) and as a world class research institution (important for some grad programs). Madison, WI consistently ranks at or near the top for quality of life (the main negative being the winter cold). Wisconsin is far more progressive than any other Midwest state - Milwaukee was the center of the American Socialist movement and Madison was the birthplace of the Progressive Party (La Follette). The UW Madison campus was second only to Cal Berkley in anti-War protests. UW-Madison is among the top 10 in the nation in terms of population of Jewish students and I think you'd be hard pressed to find an evangelical on campus. [/quote]

Yes, and Wisconsin also has given the nation Sen. Joe McCarthy and more recently Gov. Scott Walker, not to mention Paul Ryan (not to equate Walker and Ryan with Tail Gunner Joe).  So a pure Progressive paradise, it is not.[/quote]
