English is the language - and people are very friendly if there is a word or two you dont understand - then just ask what the exact meaning is.

no

Arrival: fly to chicago and take the van galder bus to madison - stops in the middle of town - and is a lot cheaper than by plane. Arrange accomodation in advance - pretty important otherwise it will be bad and expensive.

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.

There is plenty of different opportunities - it really depends on what one likes. There is shared apartements, international housing, single rooms and a kind of dormitories.
