Course recommendations
I had two macro economic courses and two marketing courses - econ 302 and mkt 420 were very good with extremely professional teachers. If you are more of an entrepreneur, the school offers some of the best courses in the country - they are small business planning and small business management.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because of the independency and the chance to meet other people. Living in a shared apartment gives you a lot more knowledge of the people you are "visiting" than living on your own in a single room.

Personal comments
There is plenty of different opportunities - it really depends on what one likes. There is shared apartements, international housing, single rooms and a kind of dormitories.

bring your own lap top with a w-lan card and coffee. don´t expect any big malls in madison. if you wanna buy clothes you have to go to chicago.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Living on campus is by far the best way to meet the local students and get fully integrated into the college community. Furthermore, living on campus is very convenient, since you are close to all the different facilities.

Personal comments
I chose private housing/dorms, which are a bit more expensive than the ones normally provided for exchange students. Nonetheless, I have no regrets whatsoever. It had a prime location, right in the middle of campus. It more or less only housed American students, which for me was excellent, since I only wanted to speak english and get some American friends, which I did.

Personal comments
after a while, most of the people got fed up with state street at campus, because the boozing mentality and younger people (lots of "freshmen"=18y) gets childish and boring after a while. better spots are upper state street and capitol area. there are older people, it's not only about getting shitfaced and you might even find something like culture..
