Got into UW Madison Class of 2025. Definitely one of my top-choices right now. Thank you so much for all of your videos, they've really helped me get information about UW Madison from an international student's perspective and also helped me craft a good why us essay. Keep up the good work and I'll definitely stick around for your future vids! (also get this man some more recognition.... super Underrated lmao)
BROOO CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 UW Madison's a super great uni, I'm so glad you got in! And thank you so much for the endless support man, it really keeps me motivated to make more stuff like this :))
This video was super helpful! I applied to UW-Madison on a whim and got accepted, and after a campus tour it's one of my top choices. I'm super excited :)))
Dude 😂 I was not gonna apply to UW Madison at first but after binge watching your channel 15 days ago I changed my mind. I was like hell yeah man it would be stupid not to apply to UW Madison engineering! Thanks man !
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?
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 :)
@@NandanV Thank you so much for responding to my question! That really means a lot:) I'm surprised by the quality of your videos and the effort you put into each. I've been scrolling through them these days👏
Going to UW Madison this fall, as an Electrical Engineering student, I really like the small town vibes :D BTW, I am from China, see you in the fall :D
My grades are so low below average from state boards in 11th cbse i got 75℅ and 12th hoping for 90℅ i got get in a good school i have decent extra curriculars but it wont help i can write good essays but idk :( even if i do get in some tier 3 school i wont get good scholarships and i cannot afford :(((
Which resident hall are you in? I’m a freshman this fall and I want to live in Lakeshore neighborhood but idk which dorms are the best. I am computer science major
I used to live in Smith (southeast), but I think Dejope (lakeshore) might be pretty good - I'm not too sure about lakeshore dorms so don't quote me on that 😂

Hey Heba! The reports of violence have increased over the years (from personal experience, haven't formally looked into this), but I think the campus area is generally on the safe side
Congrats on the admissions! They're both great places - UW Madison's CS program is getting waaay more competitive, so I'd take that into consideration fs. As for Penn State CS, idk much about that so it'd be hard for me to give you a definitive answer
Hahaha I remember doing that too, it was the only way I could figure out the vibe of the place somehow 😂😂 if you liked this one, check out a few more of my videos - hopefully you find them helpful 🤞
Hey nandhan, I have recently got into uw and it’s tuition Fees is pretty high and there is no need based aid for international students, can a draft a mail to the aid department regarding my financial situation?
Hey Siddharth, you can try sending them an email but I don't think they offer very high scholarships for international students. I may be wrong as I haven't looked into this, but if you or someone else find out, reply and let me know!
Man, I just got admitted and there just aren't any proper objective vlogs about the campus involving both studies and chill aspect of student life there.
hey man! I got admitted to transfer from the University of Arkansas for chemical engineering! I do not really know what to expect. Good job there my man!

Hi Nandan, love your content. I recently received an admit for the MS in Information for the Fall 2023 intake. Do you have any idea about the program? Also if I have to reach out to you, how can I do so ?
Hey Rohit, congrats on the admission! My Instagram account is linked in the description (nandan2702). Idk anything about that program but if anyone else reading this does, comment below!
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.
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
they're a pretty good research uni too - you can find more info on that on the specific grad school page / research page for the department you're looking for
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?
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!
@@NandanV Thanks for the reply! I'm now seriously considering UW Madison but their fees is too high. Even after getting the federal pell grant, taking out huge loans and doing work study I think it might be difficult for me to pay for the university. I wasn't able to apply for external scholarships as most of them require their applicants to have attended an American high school which I didn't. Is there any other way I could pay for the university?
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 going to apply uw for ms in industrial engineering. can you share me some informations like batch size, durations, average gre , employment rate etc?..
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!
It’s not that bad actually, you have the freedom to select what you wanna do and there’s never any peer pressure in case they’re worried about alc and all. Thanks for watching!
