College 101: A Freshman's Guide to UW-Madison

[PraxZimmerman]

There is obviously no video photography class there. You broke all 7 filming commandments.

[trknowles]

@PraxZimmerman You've obviously never gotten laid.

[PraxZimmerman]

@trknowles or herpes.

[wicountrygal]

MadTown Baby!<3

[cfuller1509]

this school is great if ur white or jewish middle/upper class...if not, u deal with ignorance and extreme covert racism..enjoy!

[janexharper]

Love it! Hope my experience at college is alright.

[lovelplants]

oh thanx for the advice.. very helpful.. :)

[sjs4usc]

Did you graduate before you made this video!?!? You're not suppose to sit on abe before you graduate, or else you will get kicked down bascom hill

[trknowles]

@sjs4usc It's green-screened

[AlexFreconHD]

@sjs4usc That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

[TehSmellulare]

What do you do if you're a nerd who has no desire to drink?

[trknowles]

@TehSmellulare I have no idea

[TehSmellulare]

@trknowles C'mon dude, what about the Chadborn kids?

[trknowles]

@TehSmellulare Haha, I was a Chadborne kid. I would say UW students are very good at balancing work with play. Some definitely work/study harder and party less (or not at all). Either way, it's a top-notch school for just about anything you pursue.

[glgphd]

Hey guys, great job capturing some timeless truths. Laughed my as off because I was there way back in 1965-1971.

[PurpleLipstick01]

I thought this was a mario brothers at college spoof or something

[blackhawksred19]

[Berehynia]

Got admitted here! I really want to go but my senior grades dropped a bit so kinda worried about it :(

[snotucom]

[foxdragon84]

"fuckin a right!" hahaha

[txiong076]

MINNESOTA!

[smiles1994ful]

hes wearing a ELKHORn jacket yeah!!!!!

[lauterbath22]

Madison also appears in the movie "For Keeps" with Molly Ringwald. (little fact)

[trknowles]

@lauterbath22 It's definitely a great city for shooting films! A few others: "I Love Trouble," "The Last Kiss," "Public Enemies" and "Go West Happy Cow"

[jw22223]

Yeah Chadbourne!

[Penguin1481]

Holy Reel Big Fish!

Im a freshman up here in madison right now! On Wisconsin!!!!

[gmjssc]

UW Madison is pretty cool so far, EXCEPT Math 222. I hate that class.

[biggofwi2]

@gmjssc

Highest dropped class on campuis

[petzlmrz]

Holy smokes it's Colin McConville

[orion1anon]

lol. Over by the UW hospital... poor bastard.

[mrsbaguette]

just finished my first year, bit exaggerated but this is a pretty true.

[AxleCarp]

Chadbourne represent! Wait...

Why am I proud of having lived in Chad? FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Slotten68]

Gotta love the UW system. Im a Stevens Point guy, and while we are not as prestigeous as Madison, we have nothing to do here. All of our normal activities usually involve drinking. Strange that im proud of that. Gotta love Wisconsin!

[Jifcrunch79]

lol I guess it's different in this school but typically everyone wants to be freshman because they have 4 years in college left, no body wants to leave!

[Dephen]

I am so glad I am going here. Class of 2014! Great job on the video!

[badreligion]

where the fuck is the weed smoking?

[mounder21]

boulder co CU

[Malasubidude]

@badreligion hehehe I was walking down state street and my friend's roomie tossed me a joint out of no where. I love Madison.

[Theplaymaker127]

CLASS OF 2014 REPRESENT!!! Hell yea dude can't wait!!!

[trknowles]

As an incoming freshman, I hope you gain some relevant advice from "College 101" that you can apply come Fall. Best of luck!

[iloveprettylights]

wooooo see you there!

[aaoeo]

5:51 bwahaha I love it

[AmyLmonkey]

GO WISCONSIN!

[im2bzwillie]

dude - I was BORN on that campus !!!!

[rocketshipstud2]

most accurate thing is don't ever wear your high school letter jacket or overly brag about highschool status...you will just look immature and homesick...dont do drugs!...do your homework first then party!

[rocketshipstud2]

excellent video...one error...if you are a lost freshperson with a map 99 percent of every upper classman will tell you the correct directions and may walk you to the correct building to find your classroom...esp. if your a cute girl!/wauwatosa

[MFN1337]

Tosa!

[TWillRockYou]

i was a badger buddy - and i lived in Chadbourne! Replace the Snapple with Vodka, and you just described my freshman year. The best trick we used to play was to tell Frosh about the amazing arcade on State Street. Unfortunately, the "arcade" closed circa 2006....

[rustlerboi1052]

I fucking love this campus.  God I hope I get in...

[persianmad]

@rustlerboi1052 you can always come to UWSP we take all kinds ,even the dumb ones.

[iceblufenix]

this. is. the. best.

glorious!

[trknowles]

I'm honored- thanks for watching and commenting!

[iceblufenix]

p.s. i found this video because someone wrote a SO about it! i hope that it will send a lot of traffic this way!

[tcjsales]

Also, another good piece of advice is to not wear carpenter jeans.

[inthegroove70]

420 N. Park St at the end.

NAWCE! :)

[rayovak]

chadbourne 650 represent! (back when it was a guy's floor from what I'm told)

[benscrappyusername]

dude chad is awesome!! i threw up all over the second floor bathroom the other year...the door, the floor, the wall, a toilet, in and around the trash can. it was the greatest

[2good4yallhoodrats]

I'm starting college in the fall your scaring me.

[jessy999]

This is a good production! Well done!

The Bascom Hall part is hilarious... lol.

[CroswhiteK]

Lol some kind of hint. "I'm having sex". That will work lol.

[UWbuckybadger]

"whats up motherfucker!" hahah

[Faygo069]

there are about half and half smart and dumb people. most dumb people are dumb sluts who love wando's, the red shed, and the nitty gritty. in high school i got a 22 ACT and had a 3.1 GPA and i never took an AP level course and i got in to UW-Madison. But UW-madison has James Maynard the gen chem demo guy and he's awesome. but uw-madison is full of coasties. yuck.

[countrygentleman10]

Wow! Just stumbled across this video after dejectingly (sp) choosing madison over UC-Santa Barbara for financial reasons. But now... I am super pumped for Madison. This video really cheered me up and now I can't wait for Madtown baby!! I like how it is actually somewhat informative while being hilarious.

[trknowles]

I'm glad to hear it! You got exactly our intentions with this short - inform in a humorous way. Enjoy UW!!

[tigercubkitten]

lol. probably the best decision you ever made.

[ogdman14]

lmao... i'm looking 4ward to this...

[seanermagoner]

i cant wait to go to college. going to niu next year

[onlybaby90]

Oh cool..an alumni! I don't mean to go all interviewer on you but...how is the academics at UW-Madison? Are the classes challeging(sp?)?

[trknowles]

The academics are top-notch. As you get into the upper-level classes they definitely become more challenging

[onlybaby90]

Thats what I heard also. I like challeging courses and I want to be a good doctor so that good. You've changed my mind!!!

[onlybaby90]

"Waz up motherfuker!" LOL thats funny..I'm planning on going to UW-Madison but this parody is making me scared. All I want to do is get a good pre-med education not become a shitfaced idiot. UH OH.

[trknowles]

There's a lot more to UW-Madison than the parties and drinking. I guarantee if you choose to go, you won't regret it.

[onlybaby90]

I heard that UW-MAdison is great school...the video was just funny! Are you a student?

[trknowles]

Thanks for the support.  I was a student when I made this in 2003, however I graduated in 2005.

[happyhobbit989]

im the house fellow on 8 this year, its nice to see chadbourne in its pre-renovation days, lol

[jujulili75]

Hello I'm a french student!! I study at The University Sorbonne-Nouvelle PAris 3!! I applied for a one year study exchange to Uwisconsin for 2009/2010!!

I think you did a great work!! Uwisconsin seems really good.

Thank you!
