When we colliegette’s hear the word “homecoming” many of us are brought back in time and space to our wonderful and sometimes awkward high school days (WHY did we need to wear that dress with those shoes?!). It’s safe to say most of our minds don’t automatically think about it in the context of college. This year make your homecoming experience at UW-Madison more memorable. Aside from hitting the numerous tailgates, watching the anticipated football game and drinking a few extra beers (as if we needed an excuse) there is so much more that comes with the annual homecoming celebration!
In addition to the Badgers playing Northwestern on Saturday, Oct. 12, campus has a ton of fun activities and events. They will not only make your homecoming weekend unforgettable, but also your whole week the best one yet.
