Why Wisconsin

“I really like the fact that everyone here is a badger and stays a badger for the rest of their life. The vibe and passion that everyone dedicates to the sports programs is amazing and the support here is exactly what I would want. It’s an excellent school in academics, athletics, and social life. It’s everything I would want in a school, other than the cold winters.”
