For the record, I would just like to say that the negativity on this board regarding Madison does not stem from people who "can't make the cut." It stems from people who are sick of being treated like dirt from their professors and other classmates. I have a 4.0 gpa, and had no trouble whatsoever "making the cut" in any of my courses because all of them were ridiculously easy (and no, I didn't take any of the stereotypically easy courses, I took stuff that just happened to be taught by incompetent prof's).

There are several reasons why UW doesn't live up to its name. First is the academics. I had attended another UW school before coming here, and agree Madison is much, much easier. Take finals week for instance - study days? We never had those at my old school. If you get days to study for finals and still can't pass your classes, well, then, you must be an idiot.

Second, UW's prof's are not really that prestigious. I mean, yeah they all have good backgrounds, but did they mention that TA's teach all of the courses? TA's aren't incredibly competent. So you're paying all of this money basically to get taught by someone your own age.

Third, the politics running through this place are just stupid. People get in and are treated well whose parents were alum and so forth. If you think each student is treated equally at this school, you are crazy.

At any rate, if you want to attend a school were life is nothing but a huge drinking bash with a bunch of lowlifes who think they're awesome cuz they just go to Madison, be my guest. However, if you actually want an education, go to a different school that isn't so messed up.

commentWell, the profs couldn't have been too incompetent - they obviously recognized your brilliance and gave you an "A".
I didnt realize a communications major would be considered a challenging major…?
