The University of Wisconsin-Madison, more commonly known as Wisco, is a public university filled with over 40,000 undergraduate students. Unlike many other universities at this level, freshmen are not required to live on campus. However, much like the structure of many other schools, this university operates on a semester-based schedule.

This school participates in 25 NCAA Division 1 sports and is also a part of the Big Ten Conference. Their biggest football rival within their conference is the University of Minnesota.

There’s nothing like being back at Camp Randall Stadium after a summer away from Madison. As you stumble to the student section (many times just for the 3rd quarter), you proudly enter an overwhelming sea of red. What’s better than being completely blacked out, screaming profanities such as “Eat sh*t" and “F*ck You” to other sections? Oh that’s right… jumping your ass off to House of Pain’s “Jump Around” blasting from the loud speakers.

Wisco is constantly ranked on a multitude of top party school lists and that is far from surprising. The Greek life and social scene on campus is ever present. The Mifflin Street Block Party and State Street Halloween Party are why this school is considered a top tier party institution. Thousands of attendees participate in these events annually.
