Review of Madison, Wisconsin


Madison
Star Rating - 11/16/2007
No question, Madison is a beautiful city. Madison has some gorgeous parks,
some very eclectic shops and State Street offers a lot to do. The schools
in Madison at the K-12 level are very good. UW-Madison has many excellent
programs at the undergrad at graduate level. The surrounding lakes enhance
the beauty of the place.

Madison is VERY liberal know that before you move here unless you are liberal
minded. The winters are brutal, you never really get used to WI winters you learn to tolerate them. The professional job options are VERY limited. The town has a TON of college educated people whom are underemployed. Madison has very high property taxes. The crime rate in Madison is low. Research the area you plan to move to wisely unless you enjoy listening to college kids partying all the time.
