Why Wisconsin?

"I chose Wisconsin because it is a great university with renowned programs in the sciences, I loved the campus and Madison, and the girls on the track team were so inviting during my visit I knew I could really fit in here. I was worried about being far away from home but I earned the Chancellor’s Scholarship, which really pulled it all together for me that Madison was the place I belonged. "
