University of Wisconsin, Madison (UW)

The City and stillwaters are two bars that you dont want to miss - people are probably more eastcoasters than westcoasters - if you are more to dance music there is a place behind capitol toward Lake Mendota (cant remeber the name). Then there is all the sport - Go to Kole center for tickets to ice hockey, football etc. dont miss football - the badgers are awesome and the stadium is always full of happy student (app. 50000 of them!!!). Kole center is also a place for lots of concerts - elton john and back street boys played when i was there.

State Bar - awesome place to go and meet people, to party or just to have a single beer and go back home to study when needed. Tuesday nights at "Brats" is great for networking. Memorial Union Terrace is the best in summertime. Go there anytime, with work, with friends or alone. Bring you laptop PC and use the wireless internet while watching the boats sail by.

I can recommend "Spices", "Angelic", "State bar", "Brats", to go out in th evening. There is one cosy "Starbucks" and "Cafe royal". Don't miss a football game! Halloween in Madison was amazing.

State st. is the place to be. However, the crowd is quite young, so for the more mature audience, one should visit the Square and its surrounding cafes/restaurants.

All the bars and pubs on state street! If you came here you have to go at least one time to the stadium and watch the badgers(football team).

after a while, most of the people got fed up with state street at campus, because the boozing mentality and younger people (lots of "freshmen"=18y) gets childish and boring after a while. better spots are upper state street and capitol area. there are older people, it's not only about getting shitfaced and you might even find something like culture..
