I got accepted into Madison recently and I was SO scared of how id make friends, picking my dorm and I felt worse without having any tours bc. of corna. i'm honestly so glad you made this. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulder and this vid made me feel a LOT better about going in the fall.
Teriyaki chicken I'm so glad to hear that!! Corona really screwed up a lot of people's first year experience, so feel free to let me know if you have any other questions :)
UW-Madison class of 2024!
Thank u so much for doing this! I’m going to Madison in the fall and this was super helpful!!!!
My son was admitted to the University of Wisconsin and we had a ton of questions on the topics you covered. This was so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share all of your thoughts.
this was so helpful, and you seem SO sweet!! thanks for all the advice!!
It is the best video talking about the college and the live in uw_m in the TH-cam. you look sooo amazing please keep doing it more (specially about uw_m) I Am consider coming in the uw Madison in 2023 so you helped me ALOT knowing more about the university.
Thank You poorva halbe🤗😍❤️
i’m an incoming freshmen and this video was super helpful! thank you!
this helped so much. as an incoming freshman during a pandemic, this video helps a lot :)
thanks for making this! I’m class of 2024 so hopefully I’ll be joining you on campus in the fall :)))
So thorough. Thanks!!!
I just wanted to comment that I lived in Chadbourne this past year, and I really loved it. It was mostly freshman... there were hardly any upper classmen!! It’s close to so many things because it’s in the middle of campus and has great benefits because it’s a living and learning community, which gives you an opportunity to make lots of friends :) the main con is that the rooms are the smallest out of all of the dorms... everything else was pretty spot on!
5:34 Witte went from being "shitty Witte" to "dAng that's Witte?!" in no time. Love the video, it's quite informative!
@@sharanya.r1538 Hahah yeahh I am!
thank youuuuuu so informative :D UW is my dream school
the title: freshman guide
me, a transfer junior: 👁👄👁
I'm got accepted as a cs transfer junior for this fall, and am super nervous, would love if we could talk?
@@malavikaunnikrishnan7100 absolutely, i’m totally down to talk about my experience! just let me know where you’d like me to contact you or what platform works best to talk :)
@@astroxanthe Literally so gratefullll, my instagram is @chaseslippin
no way! i’m a junior transfer too starting in the fall
@@merve8486 oooh well heyyy thereee :)
Best overview video I’ve watched!
Marta Struve aww that's so sweet :) thank you!
love this !!! as an incoming freshman, this is v helpful :)
thank you for making this video bc i was dying to find out a brown person’s point of view on the school!
It helps me, Thanks, and keep making content like this.
This video is lowkey pretty accurate except Leopold is actually the newest dorm in lakeshore and I would highlyyyy recommend, dejope is also very good but far away. I know both of these are coed floors so you’re able to make a ton of friends. Campus is a place where there’s always something going on and I miss it so much 😭😭
If you get the chance, Madison is an absolutely amazing choice
Amanda Lumberg I miss campus so much!! Can’t wait to go back! 😭
Couldn't have done this without you!
My son committed to CS at UWM starting Fall 2023. This was a really helpful video. Thanks! I noted no one talks about campus transportation. Do they have any buses that connect dorms and classrooms, especially the ones that seem a little further away from campus. When I went to Umich, it was hard to go 2 minutes without seeing a giant Michigan Blue bus filled to the brim with students. Really hoping UWM is similar.
This vid was so helpful!! can you do a video on your stats in high school and how you applied/got accepted into uw Madison? :)
OMG… finally a vid for us Wisconsinites
this is so helpful :)
I just want to say as someone who lived in smith that the dorm can be VERY social as long as you actually meet the people on the floor. Also, at least this past year, we did have keys. Something else that is nice about smith is that there are bus stops pretty close to it so if you're trying to get downtown, it's not that hard. It really isn't that bad of a walk if your classes don't go much farther than over bascom but if you have to go more towards lakeshore, that can be quite a hike. Smith also has walk in closets and an adjustable AC as well as some rooms have their own bathroom. Also, bathrooms are only shared with a few rooms so you definitely have more privacy. Smith is overall really nice and I do recommend. Also, if you do get put in a triple, it's even more fun and comes with two mini fridges.
was there a lot of freshman in smith? or was it mostly upperclassmen? me and my roommate put smith as our first but now I'm a bit worried there won't be as many freshman.
I'm in PEOPLES Program with uw-madison, sophomore in high school. but i don't know if i want to go to a university with barely any people who look like me.
did u end up going?
Class of 2024! Hi from Texas :)
I'm going into my senior year and considering applying to/attending madison, but I do have a few concerns. 1. I'm not really into football games or partying. I'd probably like parties/clubs but not every single weekend, would it be hard to make friends because of this? and 2. Based on some videos I've seen the campus is pretty urban and it seems kind of loud I guess? Does it feel like you're on a college campus or just that you're in the middle of a city with a bunch of cars and traffic? I know it's an urban campus and I've been to the U of M campus a few times which is also urban but that one didn't seem too much like it was in the middle of the street and it still felt like there was a campus space to some degree.
Can you do a video on the engineering college? I’m an incoming biomed engineering major
I graduated high school and really don't have money to go to UW Madison but I was thinking🤔,, what say I sit in on some of the lectures and maybe some of the larger classes where they don't take roll call and I pick up an honorary degree that way?? Is there any way I can maybe get a stamp or something showing that I attended?
Good video. Thank you so much. Which is the best dorm for Indian student doing chemical engineering and into speed skating
Which dorm now 2022 is the best to have fun and still get studying done. My daughter is goin in Fall and not good at directions. Thanks
do a sororities and rush video in uw madison
I am kinda worried I won’t know how to make friends since I’ll be living in an apartment and not a dorm
Can you cover how to get casual hookups while attending uw madison. Thanks
Greetings from California
Your skin is perfect
gabrielle dixon aw thank you! ❤️
How do I buy a season pass?
Hey, I’m entering next year as a freshman and am considering Merit as a residency hall and I noticed you didn’t talk about it, any thoughts?
Merit is super interesting, it's quite small and I believe it's across the street from ogg, it's pretty similar to sellery I'd say with slightly bigger living areas and a possible kitchen
I'll be there as a doctoral intern this 2021 (from August), and I haven't rented a place. Anyone to share a house or something? Thank you!
Join a Facebook group for doctoral interns or grad students and Check there!
hi! im an incoming freshman and just got my dorm assignment. i put southeast dorms on the top of my list but got a small dorm that most people dont know of in lakeshore. do u think it'll be difficult to get everywhere if i wanna go out? im also worried about making friends. thanks
Honestly I think you'll be ok :) a lot of people think that its the end of the world when you don't get your first pick in dorms but with the pandemic going on, I think its actually really great for you that its a small dorm! You meet most of your people at events/clubs/classes anyways so that's the best way to build your social circle; plus there's always greek life if you're really concerned about it!
Hi, Anna. I just discovered this channel, and I wanted to ask you how everything is going as of today at the dorms? My daughters will probably be attending UWM by 2025 and I'm looking for more information. Thanks in advance. Santiago de Chile.
Can you comment on off housing campus for Freshman? Statesider, Towers, Lucky etc?
Thanks!
Hi! I personally live in one of the major apartments over by state street and I enjoy it a lot. I feel like it's a good location not too far from classes, but in terms of location Lucky is definitely one of the best. However all the major apartments are quite a hefty price point and so lots of students end up doing smaller houses or apartments instead.
do you know how likely it is that you’ll get one of your top 3 dorms? also i heard that if you have a preferred roommate, you’ll end up with a dorm lower on your list but idk if that’s true lol
it was true for me
It's pretty likely, I got my 3rd choice
I was very lucky. We picked eachother and got our top dorm and I understand this is really rare
How to get in UW-MADISOM as Indian student
are you still living on the dorms? Also I wanna go to UW and major fire science or fire administration or fire technology but I’m not sure if UW has that
Good question! Not sure about fire science (you can probably find it online!) but I live in an apartment now
Can you pick your roommate
tysm! it's so informative. could i ask if the coed halls have coed bathrooms as well? and if so how hard is it to get a room with single-sex floors/bathrooms?
Coed hall are not Coed bathrooms! Single sex floors I believe only exist in liz waters for girls.
@@poorvahalbe6510 oh okay thanks! i was confused ab the info on the site but that makes more sense 😭
Is Merit hall ok? I got asked if i wantes to be there for the community I chose
Ya I’m also thinking about Merit, I’m probably gonna try to get into the community there, I assume ur also an incoming freshman. I know the community is new to this year so maybe the merit hall in general is new too and this vid is a year old
My friend is looking at UW, and was disappointed it's not as diverse as she'd like (she's white, but values diversity). Will she feel welcome in cultural clubs aimed at non-white, non-Christian students?
eric veneto I am from Saudi Arabia and got accepted as a freshman this year.
Yeah! For sure, cultural clubs are super accepting on campus
the bro gamer اعترف مين انت
🤨
i recently committed and i am just scared of making friends and getting that social life yk
College is really stressful and I figured out this year that no matter how it looks on other people's social media, most people don't find a true group freshman year. The best way to make "real" friends is by talking to as many people as you can (through social media before school starts, your dorm, CLUBS) and you'll find at least a few people that really click with you! Also, the social life is so popular on campus that it is extremely easy to find people to go out with :)
Poorva Halbe thanks! what do most people do their second year find a apartment or dorm again?
Olsi Gjata it depends on what you want, I went for an apartment, so did all of my friends :) but there's are definitely dorms like Chad and Smith that are more non freshman
Poorva Halbe also when do you think i should add more people before school from the fb group after i get a roomate like knce we find out we are in the same dorm or even before that
Olsi Gjata I started adding people as soon as I committed, if you have more questions dm me on insta!
do you know when student football tickets will be released??
Lisa Tenner usually you go pick them up at camp randall the week before the game, I'm not sure if it'll be changed this year because all that's going on though...
Poorva Halbe even student season passes?
Do you think sellery or witte is better for someone who wants to party but also wants to study during the week?
Maya Khachab both are honestly the same atmosphere but in different buildings, however between the two I'd rather live in Witte now that sellery is in the process of being renovated. The construction would be so annoying
@@poorvahalbe6510 okay thank you so much!! Also do you think sellery people, despite the party stereotypes, were considerate/quiet to people wanting to study during the week?
@@mayakhachab9612 oh yeah for sure, the majority of people aren't going to sacrifice grades for parties and the rooms are also a lot quieter than you'd think!
@@poorvahalbe6510 that’s great thank you so much!!!😊
I am in 12th grade and will be applying within a month. Wish me luck please!!
Good luck you got this!! 🤩
@@poorvahalbe6510 girl I got accepted last night😭😭😭I'm so happy
what's ur opinion in uw Eau Claire
I mean since I didn't apply there I don't really know the pros and cons of the school, I'm sure if you like a smaller school you'd be happy there!
I know one of the guys in the video... the one who smashed the table lol
Class of 25 anyone?
Losers
Yes
Im 26 🤌
Can you pick your roommate
Yep! you can mutually request one roommate when you sign up for housing.
