Hi, I have been offered a full tuition waiver and monthly stipend (with TA) at Wisconsin. Also, I was told that the department does not distinguish between funded and non-funded students, hence everyone is eligible to apply for TA postions during the start of the semester, and most of them end up getting it. Since the undergraduate enrollment is huge, there are a lot of TA opportunities. By tuition, I meant tuition waiver and not the difference! But if weather is a concern, I can understand that since Wisconsin weather is harsh. I am also an international student, and I completely understand that. All the best with your decision!

I also have an offer from Madison, and I visited the school during the visit days. I do not know much about Austin, but in case you are looking for TA/RA, Madison is the place for you. At Wisconsin, you would surely end up getting funded (CS, not PMP) from the first or second semester. The research is good, and lots of teaching positions are available since the undergraduate enrollment is high. So if tuition is the factor, Madison it should be. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions about Madison. All the best!

I have been accepted to all three programs, with complete financial support from University of Wisconsin, Madison. Which one would be the best for graduate studies (masters) in Computer Science?

The information for the hotel and other details are on the weblink mentioned in the letter: http://sacm.cs.wisc.edu/welcome/

How many of you are visiting the University of Wisconsin, Madison for the visit days on March 7-8 (Computer Science) ? Is anyone driving down to Madison?
