Traveling abroad to further my education has been something I have looked forward to doing since I first began looking at colleges.

    Since the day I first moved to Madison more than three years ago, I realized that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a large presence in the community. Everywhere I go, I see the school emblem of the University and the familiar cardinal and white colors. Despite growing up and having a fondness for my old state, California, UW-Madison has captured my attention as a community which I long to be a part of. With the welcoming atmosphere and the ability to discuss current issues anywhere on campus, I can easily fit into the community. As an Asian-American, as an LGBTQ+ individual, as a driven and motivated student, UW-Madison seems to be the logical choice.…
