Why Wisconsin?

“I have always loved the campus. Growing up, my friends and family would come down to State Street, the Union, or the Farmers Market on a Saturday morning. It always amazed me to what I would see downtown. The diversity is like no other. Also, we do have some pretty great places to eat down here.”
