Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students agree that the student body is very eye pleasing, literally. While there is a little more commentary about the girls, they do not discount the attractiveness of the male population. Looks aside, students do find most people to be accepting and friendly in nature. This “Midwestern mentality” makes it easy for new students or visors to feel comfortable at UW.

UW brings a wide range of people, and with that comes a wide range of personalities. It’s not really fair to typify the guys into one group and the girls into another. Overall, there are a lot of friendly people. Whether you’re in class, at work, or at a party, it is very easy to find someone to chat with, and more so to feel comfortable in your surroundings. That is the key—to find the environment you’re into. On the flip side, you will find those that you clash with. Class-wise, this is great because it creates dialogue and debate, and hopefully both sides will leave the conversation with a better understanding of each other. Socially, this can be a problem, but only if you let it. Know whom you can and cannot tolerate outside of the classroom, and choose your social events accordingly.

Diverse

One thing I love about the people at the UW is that even though there are 40,000 people, you can always find someone who has similar interests to your own. I'd say there's probably an even mix of hot and not. Everyone wears jeans.

Strong & Attractive

Overall, the student population is very attractive. Students here are very motivated and take care of themselves nicely. Girls tend to dress modestly and are not very obsessed with the latest fashion trends. Both genders spend considerable amounts of time working out, and people here find it appealing to be healthy and in shape.

Definitely Attractive.

Guys are really attractive, and there are a variety of different types. You've got your classic midwestern guys, hipsters (there are a multitude of hipsters at UW), jocks, frat bros, plain bros, farmer boys (AKA short course boys or "shorties")... Pretty much any kind of guy you're looking for, we've got at least one.

Girls are, for the most part, pretty standard. Lots of the typical midwestern girls (Northface jacket, jeans, and boots. Classic every day look), hipster girls, coasties (either east coast or west coast, doesn't matter, they both look strange in Wisconsin), nice sorority girls (tri Delts!), and sorority bitties/sorostitutes (everyone except the tri Delts).

Slight overview of everything else:

Fashion, for the most part is really casual, and continues to get more and more casual as the Wisconsin winter kicks into gear. Everyone's smart here, so that's just a huge factor on the attractive scale. Sports gear is a big trend here, Under Armour is huge, Northface/Columbia jackets are a must have, if you're feeling classy a peacoat is really nice to have in the winter, scarves are a big trend in general... Everyone's really friendly, don't be concerned about making friends. Ever. Everyone parties. Even the kids that don't party. Nearly everyone is looking for at least a hook up, except those few people. So if you're looking for action, go to your local house party or frat party.

Facts

Social Scene

In general, students at UW are very outgoing. If you are at a house party or Greek social, you are sure to find someone to talk with. The bars are the same way, because students here like to party, and with that comes major socialization. UW students will find almost any reason to throw a party or gathering. For those attending the festivities, it means tons of opportunities to meet new and interesting people.

Hookups or Relationships?

With a campus the size of an average Midwestern city, there isn't one standard of living when it comes to the opposite sex. Therefore, it is hard to categorize UW as a strictly one-night fling or lasting-love type of school. One common factor, however, is the level of maturity that is associated with such interactions. It seems that those choosing to engage in short-lived romances are pretty levelheaded about it, and understand what's expected and what's not. Similarly, those in serious relationships are relaxed and not too overbearing. Having stated that, there are some stereotypes associated with certain groups of people. The Greek System, for example, is believed to be filled with an endless supply of hormones and little emotional attachment. Also, certain dorms are noted as being more promising to those looking for a quick fix. It is really up to the individual to make their coed experience at Madison what they want it to be.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

In general, the dorms and classrooms are the best places to meet members of the opposite sex. First, they're guaranteed to be at these places. Second, the people you do happen to find have at least one thing in common—they either live in the same dorm or are taking the same class. More so, these commonalties are great neutral topics to start a discussion, which will hopefully lead to more. For those not living in dorms or tired of hitting on classmates, try the bars on the weekends. These establishments are filled with tons of people looking for the same thing you are.

Dress Code

UW itself does not enforce any type of dress code per se. Obviously students are expected to come dressed to class, and decently at that. What one wears really depends on mood and occasion. For 8:50 a.m. lectures, you are sure to find a room filled with pajama pants and UW sweatshirts. If it's a Friday or Saturday night on State St.reet, though, girls and guys will be in their party wear. For the girls, it's usually tight black pants or jeans and figure-fitting tops. For the guys, it's clean jeans, a buttoned down shirt, or a soft sweater. Any other time of the day, it is really up to you to choose your apparel and style.
