This is to review the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I chose to work at U.W. - Madison…read morebecause my undergrad and graduate degrees from U.C. Berkeley concerned vitamin research. As an undergrad, I did lab research on vitamin B6, and for my Ph.D., I did lab research on folic acid and vitamin B12. And so, it was a no-brainer that I should do my post-doctoral work at U.W. - Madison. U.W. - Madison is renowned for many of the early discoveries in the field of vitamin research, for example, for its introduction of the rat as the animal of choice for performing research on vitamins, amino acid metabolism, protein requirements, and so on. It was at U.W. - Madison, that the vitamins were first classified as being, "fat-soluble A" and "water-soluble B." At Madison, all of my work concerned vitamin K. Prof. H. DeLuca, and his laboratory staff at U.W. -- Madison are renowned for their work on vitamin D and vitamin A. SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC ENVIRONMENT. U.W.--Madison is home to 20 Nobel Prize winners and 33 winners of the Pulitzer Prize. The Nobel Prize winners include, Joshua Lederberg (1958, Medicine), Har Gobind Khorana (1968, Medicine), Howard Temin (1975, Medicine), and John Van Vleck (1977, Physics), William C. Campbell, (2015 Medicine), Oliver Smithies (2007 Medicine). During my 4 years of residence and employment in Madison, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art was my connection to the world of art and, in particular to the group of Chicago-based artists known as The Chicago Imagists. An exhibit of Richard Lostutter's paintings at this museum inspired me to drive to Chicago, and view paintings by the Chicago Imagists, including paintings by Ed Paschke, Roger Brown, and Sarah Canright. SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT. The social environment at U.W. -- Madison is provided by the many Mini-Courses that are taught at the two student unions (Union South and Memorial Union). Four of the people in my laboratory were members of a clogging group, The Kickapoo Cloggers, and they suggested that I learn. And so, I took courses in clogging, tap dancing, jazz exercise, and ballroom dancing, all of these being taught in Union South. When I arrived in Madison, I was a total nerd and had no skill in dancing. But after two years of training, I was good enough to perform, and I performed with my group in front of audiences numbering from about 100 to about 500, and these included performances at State Capitol building (see, attached photo of me performing, YOU NEED TO CLICK ON THIS PHOTO TO SEE ALL OF IT), and at bluegrass festivals in Edgerton, WI, Amherst, WI, Edgerton, WI, Ashland, WI, Mount Horeb, WI, Verona, WI, Kahoka, MO, Delevan, WI, and Rockford, IL. Football games are a big deal at Univ. Wisconsin -- Madison. Please see my photograph of the marching band carrying sousaphones. The marching band plays at every football game. CULTURAL AND AGRICULTURAL ENVIRONMENT. Wisconsin was settled by immigrants arriving from German and Norway. The Memorial Union has a Stiftskeller where the walls bear murals having a German theme (see, the photo of me in the Stiftskeller, and a close-up photo of one of the murals). Regarding Norwegians, Sytende Mai (independence day) is a holiday that is celebrated in some towns in Wisconsin, for example, by an annual parade in Stoughton, WI. The nearby town of Mount Horeb is a center for Norwegian culture. Madison, Roxbury, Milwaukee, and other towns are distinguished by their German restaurants. In addition, every year a few farms in the Madison area feature, DAY ON THE FARM, where any person can visit a farm and see displays relating to crop harvesting, veterinary science, or cheese-making.

Go Bucky! Are you kidding me? Be True to Your School. It's got to get 5-Stars!…read more After trying two other schools (Sarah Palin still has me beat!) I met my mentor, bassist Richard Davis, and the rest is history. Yes, a true mentor/apprentice relationship based on daily contact. Not the "mentor" relationship some American Idol kids call listening to someone's CDs and mimicking them. My mentor woke daily at 4a.m. Sometimes he would call me at 6:30a.m., wake me up, and ask what I was doing. "Practicing" was always my sleepy answer and he never called B.S. He gave me the keys to his office as a Grad student and I never took advantage of it...save for the few times I spent hours listening to his extensive jazz LP collection. A Love Supreme never sounded so good! Political Correctness (PC) was de rigeur when I transfered there, and UW was the hotbed center of it all, for better and for worse. Chancellor Donna Shalala (later Clinton's Secretary of Health and Human Services) presided over my Undergraduate graduation ceremonies. A Top-notch research school, we didn't have to rely on our sports teams to be the sole attention of our University. But Barry Alvarez brought the Football Badgers to the Rose Bowl in 1994, '99, and 2000. Ron Dayne won the Heisman Award in '99. Cha! And when we owned a team's ass, like the UCLA Bruins, we were confident enough to not have to root against them, in games that didn't matter to us. Our Marching Band high steps. Yours does not. Our Marching Band kicks your marching band's ass. During Fifth Quarter, too. Does your school even know how to Polka??? Sections O-P. And although having a 35,000 student body doesn't hurt, Madison's reputation as a state Capitol and a great place to live just added to our quality of life while at UW. Lake Mendota and Lake Monona- beautiful places for water sports during the summer, and XX skiiing and ice fishing in the winter. Bike lanes- bikes rule in Madison. Cars do not. The UW Rathskellar and Terrace. The German style Rathskellar provided ample space for eating, studying, debating, wasting time, drinking beer, watching bands for free. And the Terrace, overlooking Lake Mendota, provided all of the same in a beautiful outdoor setting. Be True to Your School! Go Big Red!

I graduated from this school when Bill V. was head of the college, and I loved it! Since then, the…read moreschool had absolutely went downhill. I've tried twice since graduation to enroll again for an additional degree. Previously, I couldn't even get ahold of the front desk and left several messages for admission. This time, same course. Several voicemails for admissions, and no reply. I just spoke with someone at the desk and they said that I'm not eligible for the ONLINE program because I'm not in an eligible state. I'm a travel nurse, so I do not stay in one state. No one followed up on my application to tell me this or returned any of my calls. I'm very upset and disappointed. Waste of time.

This is the address of…read morethe Nielsen Tennis Stadium, maybe I can help work to get it fixed with some help from the Yelp Community Manager in Madison - I'll ask her. Anyway, the University of Wisconsin-Madison is truly a world class university! With more fields of study than twenty people could manage in a lifetime, chances are, whatever you want to major in, they offer a degree for you. Getting good advice from an undergraduate adviser, you can complete one, two, or even three baccalaureate degrees with only a few more credits than you would need for just one degree. I got three degrees, and only had 7 more credits than I needed. There also are many buildings which are great works of architecture and building, and I believe that a young Frank Lloyd Wright worked on the physical building of Science Hall, on North Park Street, as a young man. The campus extends from Lake Street on the east, to West Johnson and Dayton Streets on the south, and on out west to Camp Randall, and beyond, with the University of Wisconsin Hospital & Clinics.

Visited the University of Wisconsin Law School today on the main campus in Madison, Wisconsin. The…read morefacilities are very nice...there used to be two separate buildings for the Law School but in the late 1990s the school built a four story connection between the two making it one huge building...it houses all the administrative offices, faculty offices, the Law Library and all the classrooms and courtrooms. The Law School facilities are nice and modern and they have tons of room. The Law School is located on Bascom Mall in the old part of the university grounds...but very close (walking distance) to the Memorial Library and the Union. One of the Law School buildings houses the majority of the classrooms - many of which are laid out like traditional rectangles, others in the pie-wedge shape...all seem to have up-to-date technology keeping students plugged in. The lecture and seminar rooms were very nice and on the newish side. The moot courtroom and other specialty rooms were also very nice...the Moot Courtroom especially so. It is obvious the Law School is reinvesting in its property. The other main law building contains most of the administrative offices, clinics, and faculty offices. There is a nice little coffee shop on the lower level of the connecting building but it was not open when we visited and is probably only operating when classes are in session. The law library takes up two to three floors...depending on how you count. A portion of the library is housed in the new 4-story connecting edifice which joins the two original buildings. The main reading room is on the top floor. The library stacks are on a couple of floors...but in both of the old buildings so you cross over and back often. And since the two buildings are not on the same level...you walk up or down a half flight of stairs each time...that is why it is hard to pin down how many floors. It can be confusing which library floor you are on at first, but it becomes obvious pretty quickly. Nicely laid out library, and a number of smaller reading rooms are included besides the newish main one. The main reading room is laid out with a series of large tables with lamps...there are a number of cushy chairs at the end of the room which has an entire wall of glass facing Bascom Mall...neat view. There are carrels spread around the other library floors, some locking and some not. It does not appear there are enough carrels for each student...hence the reading rooms. This yields a lot of seating spread out around the library. Wisconsin's Law School is well-ranked in the top-50 tier of schools and the faculty is well regarded. Being located in the capital city of Madison, the school has the benefit of experienced lawyers coming in as adjuncts and job/internship opportunities for students. We were out looking at law schools and stopped by for a visit...even though we showed up unannounced they had someone in the Admissions Office who provided us with a self-guided tour brochure...nice touch. It just showed a welcoming attitude, and a school that is not resting on its laurels. A good choice for a top-50 law school just 2 1/2 hours from Chicago.

Maybe I'm partial, and that I am...but this school is/was awesome…read more I was a non-trad student there (didn't live on campus, was of drinking age when I started) but I clearly went there for the education, which was by far one of the best choices I've ever made. I loved my professors in my dept. and knew each one by name, and them likewise with me. In my senior year, many of my classes had only 6-7 other students in them. Classes were interesting and varied... where else can you take a Film Genre class that focuses on what students believe to be the 7 best films largely ignored??? I also took a Voices of the Holocaust class where we sat in discussion, read plenty of books, and watched a ton of movies and documentaries--by far my favorite class ever. If English is your thing, take the Beloit Fiction Journal class-- and all you do is read short stories submitted by hopeful (and established) authors and decide by vote who should be submitted into the latest journal...way interesting and way chill and fun. And those classes had nothing to do with my major-- but since it's a liberal arts college--I was able to take them in not only my junior but senior year as well. I transferred over from a 2 year school and really enjoyed my education there. Profs are helpful, engaging, and fun...classes are challenging, motivating, and varied....people are strange as hell and it's great. Don't visit expecting jocks and sorority girls, this is a unique college that values individuality-- and you definitely get that here. Squirrels on campus provide endless amusement. I once saw one pop out of a garbage can with a huge slice of cantaloupe in it's hands. And get the Beloit bagel for breakfast, and the sugar cookies with frosting---known as our "crack cocaine gotta have its" on campus. I really knew nothing about the campus life since I lived a little bit away and am more in my mid 20's--and was a little old for the lifestyle there, but I loved every minute of my schooling. But Wisconsin winters really suck.
