definitely a good spot for both nerds
AND party animals (madison is the 2nd biggest party school in the nation).

That the American exams are so different and to my belief not trustworthy.

Everything is made for the University students that make up 20% of the population of Madison. Campus-life in essence. This is a great experience with an American university.

Don't focus too much on the exams. I did in the beginning but found out that the way I study and learn the most did not give me the good grades. I recommend everybody on "pass/fail" basis do like I did, learn the most and don't care about the exams. I did and I have learned an incredibly lot and gained a great experience.

I loved it. You don't need a car when you go out or at university. There is a long street with plenty of bars, good night life, but unfortunately almost no clubs. You can use the student fitness centre for free which is very big. You can compare the university system with the "Fachhochschul System" in Austria. That's what i didn't like, but it was easy.

I had a great time there and would like to go back immediately. The university offers a perfect mixture of good courses and great nightlife.

The distances are short, therefore a car isn't really needed. With the van Galder bus, Chicago is only about 3-4 hours away.
The university has a good booklet which gives important advices and intersting information for exchange students.

Bring two credit cards - it will prove to be usefull, escpecially the first month where you have to pay rent and deposit for your apartment. the fist month is expensive.

Arrival: fly to chicago and take the van galder bus to madison - stops in the middle of town - and is a lot cheaper than by plane. Arrange accomodation in advance - pretty important otherwise it will be bad and expensive.
