TYY for being honest about what it's like to be a brown person there, I feel like everyone avoids talking about being a POC in these college videos so their school doesn't lose diversity points lol but I appreciate that you touched upon it. Super helpful vid!! Do you have any insight on how much grades are inflated at UW Madison? And if the environment is competitive overall?
@NandanV
3 жыл бұрын
Hahah ikrr, when I was looking up uni vlogs I literally thought the same thing. As for grades, each class is curved differently and that depends on the prof and how the class performed on average. It's usually curved more for the calculus classes and some engineering ones (not too sure of the rest). The environment's one of healthy competition so it's just the right amount and won't stress you out a lot. Hope that helps! And thanks for watching, I appreciate it :)

I’m really struggling between here and uiuc. Got admitted for industrial engineering at both. I’m likely going to want to switch the computer science tho. Is it hard to switch to cs. If so do you think I could take classes in industrial engineering that will give me a strong cs background.
@NandanV

Hey Tim, congrats on the admissions! It's easier to switch out of the College of Engineering here than it is to get admitted to it, so I'd say it's easier to switch. There are some CS classes you could take as electives for Industrial, but not a lot are required
See you in the fall!

hi i rmb u said that it costs around 55k usd/yr to go to uw madison as international students, but does this 55k include everything, like parties(i wont go a lot tho), daily necessities or weekend spendings...? Also, did you and other international students move back to home this year and are you guys planning to move back to dorm this fall? (If there isn't much opportunity make new friends, i don't wanna spend 12k for housing....)thanks

hey! The spending is including food, parties, etc. but that's only according to what I personally spend - it may vary for you depending on how + where you spend your money. having a campus job can help pay for those "extra" expenses that you have other than study-related ones. my friends and i are in our apartment for the semester (we were here last sem too) and we don't plan to move back home. most other international students are here too! as i said in the video, your first year expenses might be a little more (around $60k) cuz you have to spend on more stuff that time, but other than that $55k or maybe $58 is a good estimate :)

I’m doing my Bsc in Industrial rn and some of those classes line up with the MSc courses too - they’re usually ~60 people and lectures might be for 50mins to 1.5 hours each (either 2/3 times a week). Not too sure about other MSc stuff but class sizes usually decrease after that and you get a good amount of interaction with your profs. ISYE is applicable in a lot of fields so I think employment possibilities will be p good. All the best for your application!

Hey, I got accepted into UW Madison for CS but I'm not sure whether I should attend or not. It seems like a lotta people got accepted into UW Madison for CS and that makes me feel as if it's not such a competitive school? I wish to study with students who would be smart and passionate regarding their subjects but I'm unsure whether UW Madison can provide that for me. What's your experience with your classmates? Do you think they're passionate about their subjects or do they just study for the sake of getting a degree?
@NandanV
3 жыл бұрын
Hey dude! I get what you mean, I kinda thought the same thing when I got admitted to Engineering, but it's actually the exact opposite; everyone here is quite motivated to study and learn new things, not only to get a good grade or get a job or something, but because they're actually interested in the classes. Ofc you'll find some people who study for the sake of getting a degree but those people are everywhere. From what I've seen UW Madison's rankings keep getting better every year, and there's lots of opportunities for you to challenge yourself. You could pursue an Honors in CS (guide.wisc.edu/undergraduate/letters-science/computer-sciences/computer-sciences-bs/#requirementstext), participate in a bunch of Hackathons, join Transcend Madison / GBeta / GAlpha if you're interested in startups, etc. I'm sure you'll find like-minded people here :)) Hope that helps!
