Tips: UW Madison is a good school for a CS degree and is a top 15 school. However, it's costly, so make sure your finances are in order. The job market for tech is bad right now, so getting internships and jobs is difficult for students from any school. However, the alumni network at UW Madison is excellent, and the faculty is very supportive.

Likes (Public transportation): The University of Wisconsin-Madison provides a free bus that goes around campus and connects to public transportation. There is no issue with transportation for students, and the nearest airport is a three-hour bus ride away.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't a lot of Indian food options near the college, and the ones that are there are expensive. The campus is in a midwestern college town, but there aren't many great Indian restaurants in the area. There is a State Street with a variety of fast food and casual dining options, including Taco Bell, Cane's, pizza places, Asian food, and Mediterranean food.

Computer Science B.S - Batch of 2026

3.1

A positive start to my Computer Science journey at UW-Madison.

Tips: The transition for me was quite smooth and did not face any problems moving into dorms setting up bank accounts or getting a SIM card. I didn't apply for any scholarship. I'm pretty happy with how UW-Madison has been raising up the ranks in Computer Science in the US. I like this course and is a great experience to pursue it at UW-Madison.

Likes (Safety): There's a programme Safewalker that UW-Madison offers its students. This service offers an important safety resource where you could call them and they accompany you on foot from your location to your destination. This service is only available at night from about 7-8 pm to 1-2 am.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The post-study job opportunities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison may not stand out significantly from other leading universities in the US, but the computer science programme still offers a solid pathway for students to secure employment after graduation.

Computer Science B.S - Batch of 2025

3.9

College is about what you take out of it.

Tips: I've become more independent and mature since coming to this university. I didn't get any scholarships, and there are very few available for international students. The weather is harsh, especially in the winter months, which can be depressing. I'm satisfied with the course, but it hasn't been extraordinary.

Likes (Part time work): I was able to find a part-time job at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before I even got there. The university has a job portal that lists all the available on-campus jobs. The portal is well-maintained and regularly updated with new job postings. The pay is quite good.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The campus job fair and advisors are not very useful in finding jobs and internships. There are hundreds of companies at the job fair, but very few actually hire from the fair. The fairs are only good as an introduction to potential employers.
