University of Wisconsin-Madison

The UW-Madison campus is settled in the downtown area of Madison, Wisconsin and wedged between the two glacial lakes Mendota and Monona. Madison enrolls 42,000 students and is one of the USs largest scientific research schools. As a member of the Big Ten Conference, we like (American) football. Learn more about our university at our Wikipedia Page.

Our school is privileged to have James Thomson on campus as a professor and researcher. In 1998, Thomson was the first to isolate and culture human embryonic stem cells and has been on the forefront of development in the field ever since. Have you ever read The Onion? The Onion was founded by Tim Keck and Christopher Johnson, two UW-Madison students, in 1988. Watch and read funny and satirical (fake) news on their website.

Two students decided to make a music video about our school!
