25 Questions I Have For The University Of Wisconsin
Town News

I think anyone who has ever visited can agree that the University of Wisconsin really is an extraordinary place. As much as I love this place, there's been some questions that have come up in the last four years that I really need some answers to. So if you're reading this, Chancellor Blank, this one's for you.

1. Why are the stairs up to Bascom uncentered?

2. Why are there two elevator shafts, but only one elevator in the journalism school?

3. Do you actually get free tuition if you get hit by a bus?

4. How many calories do we actually burn by walking up Bascom?

5. Speaking of Bascom, is it totally out of the question to build an escalator up the hill?

6. What would it actually take for classes to be canceled? At least 10 feet of snow?

7. Will the construction at the terrace ever end or no?

8. What would it take to rebuild the journalism school?

9. Why do you call a minor a certificate?

10. Why are we the only school in this country that uses a different grading scale? Seriously, what is an "AB"?

11. Why can't all classes be on one website? What is the purpose of having "Canvas," "Learn@UW" and "Desire to Learn?

12. Who IS allowed to drive on State Street?

13. Why is Camp Randall so far away?

14. Why do the doctors at UHS always make me feel like I'm dying?

15. Is it really necessary to have football and basketball tickets go on sale at 8 a.m.?

16. How many people can actually fit on the 80 bus?

17. Who started the whole rubbing Abe's foot for good luck tradition?

18. Why do finals start on a Saturday and go until Christmas Eve Eve?

19. Why is food allowed in College Library, but not Memorial?

20. Why do you have to show a student ID to get into Memorial, but not College?

21. What is the logic behind the angled desks in class? Everything just falls!

22. How many bars are actually on this campus?

23. How many Bucky costumes are there?

24. What do I have to do to never graduate?

25. How could someone possibly think their school is better than Wisconsin?

And finally, one question I will NEVER have, "Why Wisconsin?"

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
