[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just realized how absolutely in the middle of nowhere Madison is. Do most people go to Mitchell in Milwaukee or O’Hare? Other than my Dartmouth tour, this seems like the best college in the most rural area of America. [/quote]

What? Madison is a city of about 200K people, or maybe more. Top Chef just did a season there.[/quote]

200k isn’t that much. But you’re not a city if you’re surrounded by a massively depopulated area like rural western Wisconsin. Ditto for northern New Hampshire. Wisconsin/Minnesota/North Dakota are roughly in the same league of depopulated “Alabama of the North”states.[/quote]

Great attitude for losing a presidential election. [/quote]

I’m telling you that’s how most people feel about Wisconsin. The bad perception of Wisconsin vs Michigan as states is much greater than the perception of the two state flagships. Madison and Michigan are seen as national universities, but if you live in Wisconsin you’re a drunk. On the other hand, if you live in Michigan there is no negative stereotype; in fact Ann Arbor residents are considered quite prestigious.[/quote]

I have lived in several states & foreign countries, but have spent most of my life in the Detroit area, which I like very much. It is in general uncrowded, sane, & unpretentious (180 degrees opposite from DMV, NYC, SOCAL). But my coastal friends think I am insane for living in such a cold and unglamorous place.

Yes, Cheeseheads DO have a rep for drinking enormous amounts of beer. But since when is that a BAD thing?[/quote]
