I chose UW–Madison because I felt as though I’d be settling on my second choice if I ended up anywhere else.

My biggest piece of advice would be to put yourself out there and take advantage of every opportunity. UW–Madison is a big school, so it can feel overwhelming at first, but there are so many ways to find your people and make campus feel smaller.

Don’t feel like you need to have everything figured out right away. Give yourself time to adjust, explore your interests, and find what makes UW–Madison feel like home. Your Badger experience is your own, so make it yours!
