Why Wisconsin?

“I loved the facilities of the UW campus and how big and pretty it is. I was definitely looking for a big American college experience coming from overseas and I felt like this was the perfect college for that. Everyone seemed so nice and friendly that I knew settling in and transitioning into freshman year would be made easy. I was also super impressed by the success of the cross-country/track team and wanted to be a part of it. The experience I would have here felt like nothing other colleges could offer so I knew UW was the perfect fit.”
