University of Madison
I would choose Madison because it is fairly close to my house and because it is a very popular college and there is a possibility that I would have friends there too! The setting of the school is in an city but there are suburbs around for dorms. I would probably have to take the class Calculous, so I would be going to college for four years. 17:1 is the student to faculty ratio.
Average GPA
3.69
