It's a good school, plus you have the added bonus of not having to take the bar exam if you stay in Wisconsin. It depends on what other schools you got into, but it's a fine school, especially for Milwaukee.

Re: How much does the University of Wisconsin suck?
It's really hard to say without knowing much about your other options. Job-wise you should definitely have career options in Milwaukee and some chances at MN and Chicago if you place high in your class. In-state or reciprocity tuition at Wisconsin is extremely cheap and coupled with your expected scholarship you would essentially be going for free. You also don't have to take the bar if you practice in Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin Law is a decent option.
As far as the city and university go, I lived in Madison for awhile and I can say it is a gorgeous and fun city with many things to do, especially if you don't mind snow. The University of Wisconsin is quite large and has an academic reputation as a research-oriented University (second in the nation for research funding behind Johns Hopkins), but the students definitely like to have fun and there is a huge bar and party scene if you are interested in that kind of stuff.

Also does anyone know how well this school does in placing students in the big law firm Foley and Lardner?

I paid between $300-$450 per month depending on how many housemates I had. Probably a bit more than that if you live by yourself.

You really put the "dick" in your name. Maybe there's a reason they haven't accepted you.

Madison is an overrated shithole. You will be bored to death if you go to Wisconsin (not to mention frozen in the winter and bug-bitten when the lake thaws out). But, if you enjoy being harassed by homeless asking for change, then you would feel right at home walking down State Street in Madison.

Re: How much does the University of Wisconsin suck?
I didn't even apply there and wouldn't ever apply there (unless they moved to SoCal, DC, or NYC). I call it like I see it--you can honestly say you would rather be in Madison than NYC? DC? LA? Yeah...right.coolkatz321 wrote:Yes, we know they rejected you, but enough is enough. Stop your incessant bitching.bedbathandbeheadings wrote:Madison is an overrated shithole.

Re: How much does the University of Wisconsin suck?
I never said that, although yes, I'd rather be in Madison than LA. However, to say it's an overrated shithole is only valid if you A) Hate clean, beautiful cities, B) Hate culture, art and a terrific bar scene and C) Have no social life whatsoever.bedbathandbeheadings wrote:I didn't even apply there and wouldn't ever apply there (unless they moved to SoCal, DC, or NYC).

Clean? Beautiful? Madison?? I will leave it up to the OP to decide what he thinks of the city. However, in my experience (I visited one time to see a friend who goes there), the city was run down and dumpy. Again, don't take my word on it--OP can go and visit himself. OP, walk down sTTTate street in Madison and see how many times you get asked for change from some bum if you think i'm lying.

You're basing the quality of an entire city based on a single visit that you had there? You're an idiot.

He's been on here with multiple names because he keeps getting banned. They sent him something in the mail or an email encouraging him to apply, he got dinged, and now he's all bitter about it. Probably deserved it, judging by his attitude.Jay Phatsby wrote:Where the fuck are you from bedbathandbeheadings? What's your beef with Madison truly about?

Originally from NYC, but have lived in DC, LA, and Georgia. I've been pretty much everywhere in the country, though, in my travels. I don't have a particular beef with Madison, I just call it like I see it (you asked about how much Wisc sucks-I told you).Jay Phatsby wrote:Where the fuck are you from bedbathandbeheadings?

Re: How much does the University of Wisconsin suck?
Actually, bedbath didn't say anything offensive IMO, just saying a certain city sucks. Lots of cities suck: L.A., Miami, New Orleans, Cleveland, Memphis, etc. but I'm sure there are people who would disagree with me on that. I was just talking with a dude the other day that is from Detroit and actually likes the area.

Re: How much does the University of Wisconsin suck?
I don't have a dog in this fight, but the concept that the cities of LA or DC are more "clean" or "beautiful" than Madison is genuinely laughable. I say this as a person with a great love for DC and at least a morbid fascination/respect for LA.bedbathandbeheadings wrote:Clean? Beautiful? Madison??
