Why Wisconsin?
“I chose Wisconsin because it provided me the perfect mix of strong athletics and academics. I attended a STEM camp here last year where I got to tour the labs and see the different academic resources present for students. The terrific facilities for not only academics but athletics helped me finalize my decision.”
