Product Description
College guides written by students for students
Your ultimate source for honest, unbiased information, College Prowler delivers an inside look at the University of Wisconsin, straight from the students mouths. Complete with hundreds of student quotes, grades, stats, and reviews, this student-written guide offers a comprehensive collection of information about Wisconsin. See how students rate their campus when it s time to look beyond the brochures and talk about the issues that really matter.
<Introduction from the Author
Mention the University of Wisconsin to your peers, and watch their eyes light up with excitement. Responses will range from praise of the scenic locale to comments on its reputable social scene. Mention the school to your parents or teachers, and wait as they spout off facts about the amazing academics and educational aspects of UW. In either case, your audience will have something positive to say about your interest in the University.
While reputation is not the most important element of a school, it definitely tells you something about that university. Those attending UW hold high expectations of the education theyll receive, and the administration pushes intensely to meet those standards. Every department, from art history to organic chemistry, provides comprehensive knowledge through accessible instruction. Perhaps this is why UW continues to rank top in the nation for academic programs, as well as thrive in researching projects.
While you may feel that UWs academic reputation is all you need to know about, dont sell yourself short. UW is a school that encourages students to participate in more than just its classes. Student organizations, athletic teams, academic support groups, and campus social events are offered to further enrich and fulfill the undergraduate experience. Apart from excelling intellectually, the administration wants its students to nurture personal interests through extra-curricular activities.
All these facts are simply a start towards a full consideration of UW as your undergraduate choice. These next pages will give you an in-depth coverage on some of the collegiate aspects you may have overlooked. While reading through this book, I hope you gain a clearer picture of everything the University of Wisconsin stands to offer.

A True Insider's Guide to a Great City July 4, 2008
As a lifelong resident of Madison and a graduate of UW-Madison, I can confirm that this book is like a tour of Madison from your couch. Before you visit, before you attend college, and if you ever want to know about the best places in Madison, this is your guide. The writer obviously is well-versed in the unique culture of Madison, and provides an excellent reference with a lot of vibrant personality.
An excellent resource May 14, 2005
This is an excellent book for a high school student looking at the school, a parent, or even a new student at U of Wisconsin. It's well written, informative, and even funny. I never lost interest and it includes a lot of great detail about subjects from diversity to academics to nightlife. It's really helpful, as it gives a student perspective that you don't have from extensive reports on numerous colleges. Check this out!!
Excellent! Really Clear! Well Written! December 15, 2004

I would highly recommend this book to every new student attending UW madison. It's clear the the writer had a hands on prespective of her material. In addition to being really well written, the writer seems to infuse lots of information with style and and sense of humor that makes it more than, facts and guides to college life. A must read!!!
