I need help deciding what college to commit to! I think both have their pros and cons. Both have a good party life and have a strong sense of school spirit. I’m admitted into the Biochem program at UW Madison, and on the PA track for UI. I feel like UI is good because its close to a hospital, so I will have lots of opportunities for volunteering/working, and I feel like they have a lot of resources for students as well. I’ve known Madison has a pretty decent biochem program, and they are slightly more diverse than UI. Madison is also cheaper by a few thousand a year. Also, it’s a pro that it’s not Iowa to me lol. I’m torn, help me decide!

#

UW Madison is also higher ranked in biochem (#11) nationally i think

i have also heard iowa dorms can get trashy even though they look nice on the inside

#

apparently people dont throw their trash away and leave condoms out in the hall

#

iowa also isnt as highly regarded as madison

Sounds like dorms is a mutual problem so I would throw that out. You said Madison was more well regarded which would make me think that it would help better prepare you over Iowa
