The University of Wisconsin Madison is a public university in Madison, WI. It is generally known for its excellent Engineering and Business Programs, both of which are rated highly by both the Princeton Review and US News. UW-Madison also has excellent science programs, including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. It is the flagship school of the UW system, as it usually refers to itself as "Wisconsin" (see wisc.edu, or the newly named "Wisconsin School of Business) and generally bashed by those who cannot get in. With its student population of roughly 41,000, it is one of the largest public universities in the US. The campus is located in downtown Madison, bordering Lake Mendota. Home to such progressives as Robert La Follette, and also due to its vast number of protests in the Vietnam War era, the city, including the university, has gained a reputation as being a hotbed of liberalism, which makes it a very awesome place. All in all, its a "public ivy", and thus you have to work very hard, but actually get a degree thats worth something. Also, there is a bit of partying between the constant barrage of papers and tests, thus giving Madison its legendary status.
Person A: "The University of Wisconsin Madison is a really shitty school"

(Day before)
Person A: "Oh, I got a rejection letter from Madison. Well, it looks like i'm going to Parkside."
(New Student at Madison)
New Student: "What the f**k is that thing?"
Not Noob: "That is Mosse Humanities. The most polarizing building on campus."
New Student: "Doesn't it look like a futuristic fortress from a 1960's film?"
Not Noob: "Yes, yes it does."
"Yay, I got a Business or Engineering degree from UW. I'm going to be very rich/powerful very soon. Bow."

This private school is home to many from a variety of backgrounds. Most people think that the students here live in a bubble but check out their controversial SPU postsecret FB page and you might be persuaded otherwise
This school is well known for their nursing, education, business and music programs, along with many others
The Falcon sports teams are occasionally successful, at least the ones that they can keep up, which does not include football
The ratio here is well known to be 3:1 girls to guy which is fortunate for any guy, and every girl's worst nightmare. The ratio causes big headed guys, who come to expect the ladies to chase them down. The dress code is unspoken, a product of the ratio and never varies. Only the classiest for the girls at SPU
"Hipster" is the style that everyone at SPU gets converted to
Not everyone here is a rich kid, even Emersonians
6th West Ashton is home to the Orange Men, the male spirit crew at SPU
Gwinn is the only dining hall and is exceptionally great for most of Freshman year but shortly after, gets quite boring
There are only 4 dorm buildings, each with their own distinct personality, but are all community oriented
SPU has many opportunities for religious events, and activities including Wed. night worship, Urban Involvement weekly service, and SPRINT international program
"Let's apply to Seattle Pacific University, since the people there are so great!"
"You seem different, oh now you're an Seattle Pacific University guy…"

A school located in St. Paul, Minnesota that was established for spoiled, rich kids who think their shit doesn't smell. It is a collaboration of douches who become sexually aroused at the very sight of an Abercrombie & Fitch logo.
Person 1: I love myself, even if everyone around me thinks I'm a douche in my Abercrombie & Fitch clothes. Where should I go to school?
Person 2: You should go to University of St. Thomas with all the other douche bags!

The inescapable cosmic principle that brings balance (read: disappointment) to life when things are going just a little TOO well for you.
I got a 98% on the math test I didn't study for, but The Universal Law of Balance made sure that I got a flat tire on the way home from school today. Fuck you, ULoB!

Considered the best Public school in the state. Recently ranked AHEAD of Miami of Ohio by U.S. New and World Report. It is easy to hate a good school with a dominant football program, which is why so many outsiders do. And not quite so ghetto as some ignorant people think.
Ohio State University was the best school I ever visited

The only unique school in VA. Closest to DC of other commonwealth schools, beautiful campus, more people living on campus than most other schools, diverse student body, better value than DC schools. If you want to go somewhere that not everyone looks the same and there's an unofficial uniform of uggs and north face (i.e.- Tech, Radford, JMU) or where people are overly stuck up and have outdated methods and campuses (i.e.- UVA, W&M, Gtown, GW) Mason is a great option. Not one kind of student there. Mason has been growing hugely over the last few years (right after I graduated). Facilities are amazing! Great basketball team is bonus.
I'm going to George Mason University so I can get a good education, be an individual and be near the most powerful city in the country.
