University of Wisconsin-Madison — 

The University of Wisconsin Madison is an awesome school for higher education. I graduated in 2002 with a degree in Psychology and Honors in the Liberal Arts.

If you live in MN or WI, you can go to a Big 10 school for in-state tuition prices.  There is a vast array of majors to choose from, one of the best medical schools in the country and cutting edge research facilities. 

There are about 40,000 students and the campus sprawls through downtown Madison.  Your choices for sports, organizations, extra curricular activities and entertainment are limitless.  Madison is a liberal college in a liberal town with ample opportunity to get involved in government issues. 

UW Madison may not be for you if you don't like large cities, throngs of people or extremely large class sizes.  You need to be extremely independent and willing to actively seek out academic help when needed.  As with any large city, the chance for crime and violence increases.

Graduating from UW Madison is an achievement to be proud of, and your degree will be well respected in the academic and business world.  I definitely reccommend this school.
