"I've been studying my PhD for 5 years in UW-Madison. Just can say, the best university in the World. My advisor is super nice and very helpful. The equipment that I have access to is awesome, strong computers, large library with access to journals, and very beautiful natural environment next to a lake, all make UW-Madison one of the best in the world. The optimization group in Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is a mix of experts from different areas of optimization."

Maths Tutor

"I worked for University of Wisconsin Oshkosh from 2016-2019 while i was a student there. As a student, one of the challenges with employment is the balance between work an school; however, this was a non-issue at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. UWO allows students to schedule their own work hours based around their classes. The work environment is friendly and inclusive. My supervisor was really understanding and helpful with all of the problems a student employee might encounter -- work related and school related. As a student tutor, my hours per week fluctuated greatly as I would gain new clients, clients canceling, exam weeks, etc... The compensation also isn't the best. Compared to private tutors, the pay is very minimal."
