I picked UW-Milwaukee over some ot the big 10 schools that i wanted to go to...i picked it because it's smaller..about 22,000 and about 30% of the school commute from other places nearby. It takes 10-15 minutes tops to walk from one side of campus to the other, and you don't need to take a damn bus!!
Not to mention i hope to run with their awesome track team this spring..just began to practice..hoping to get that phat scholarship, if i don't start tearing acl's again! LOL
so there it is in a nutshell..o not to mention, i've met many many good people, joined a few groups and a few of my better friends from home go here too!
