| elisa87 | I have been admitted to phd program at wisc.edu | 11:25 |
| elisa87 | want to know more about the city and wisc.edu environemnet | 11:26 |
| nickmoeck | elisa87: everyone here is from wisconsin :) | 11:26 |
| elisa87 | from madison? | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | nickmoeck are you from madison? | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | I don't know how is ther city? | 11:27 |
| nickmoeck | elisa87: Well, I'm not from Madison, but I've been there. Nice city | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | is that a very good choice? | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | how about the climate? | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | which city are you from nickmoeck? | 11:27 |
| nickmoeck | Well, it's Wisconsin. Cold and snowy in the winter, hot and humid in the summer. | 11:27 |
| nickmoeck | I'm from Milwaukee | 11:27 |
| elisa87 | :) | 11:28 |
| elisa87 | so we are going to be near your city in Fall 2011 | 11:28 |
| elisa87 | :) | 11:28 |
| elisa87 | have you heard about wisc.edu? | 11:28 |
| elisa87 | how are the people at wisconsin? | 11:28 |
| nickmoeck | It's a great school, but it's also a big party school | 11:29 |
| nickmoeck | Though, considering that you're a Ph.D. student, I'll assume you're probably not too interested in the college party scene | 11:29 |
| elisa87 | big party school stands for what?:) | 11:32 |
| elisa87 | I'm so much into music dude:) | 11:32 |
| elisa87 | I love watching the newest clips from trip:) | 11:32 |
| nickmoeck | lots of parties | 11:33 |
| elisa87 | May I know which states are Wisconsin neighbors? | 11:33 |
| elisa87 | lol | 11:33 |
| nickmoeck | Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan | 11:34 |
| elisa87 | woW great ,,,,such good neighbors | 11:34 |
| elisa87 | is life expensive out there considering some states like NY? | 11:35 |
| nickmoeck | It's a lot less expensive than NY or California | 11:39 |
| elisa87 | good | 11:40 |
| elisa87 | what are the main hobbies in Wisconsin? | 11:40 |
| nickmoeck | getting drunk :) | 11:41 |
| elisa87 | :)))) | 11:41 |
| elisa87 | lol | 11:41 |
| elisa87 | is there any special place? like hollywood? | 11:41 |
| elisa87 | :)) | 11:41 |
| nickmoeck | Well, the two major cities are Milwaukee and Madison. Pretty much everything important happens in one of those two cities | 11:42 |
| elisa87 | how about music bands like LP and coldplay and MUSE? do they have concerts in those two cities? | 11:44 |
| nickmoeck | Usually in Milwaukee, yeah. I don't think any of those particular bands have been here recently, though. | 11:45 |
| nickmoeck | Fortunately, Milwaukee isn't too far from Chicago, which tends to be a more popular location for big bands such as those | 11:46 |
| elisa87 | how much does it take a person to go from milwaukee to madison? | 11:46 |
| nickmoeck | It's about an hour and a half drive to get from Milwaukee to Madison | 11:46 |
| nickmoeck | maybe a little less | 11:46 |
| elisa87 | I love chicago to be honest | 11:47 |
| elisa87 | but the university I have selected in Chicago is far from wisc.edu in ranking | 11:48 |
| elisa87 | its UIC | 11:48 |
| nickmoeck | it's about a 3 hour drive from Madison to Chicago | 11:48 |
| elisa87 | how much does it cost to buy a car? a very normal one? not so lux | 11:48 |
| nickmoeck | For a new car, you can get something for around $15,000 | 11:50 |
| nickmoeck | that would be the most basic, cheapest you can get | 11:51 |
| elisa87 | I think having a car is a must :) | 11:51 |
| elisa87 | especially that it's good to go to Chicago in the weekend:) | 11:52 |
| nickmoeck | haha yeah, you'll definitely want to get a car | 11:52 |
| nickmoeck | Since you mentioned that you're really into music, there's a huge music festival in Milwaukee every year called SummerFest | 11:53 |
| nickmoeck | It's 14 days of music | 11:54 |
| elisa87 | woW | 11:54 |
| elisa87 | great | 11:54 |
| elisa87 | which bands usually come there? | 11:54 |
| elisa87 | I should add that I have decided to learn ballet:) as well...if I find any ballet class out there | 11:54 |
| nickmoeck | Well, over the whole festival, there's over 700 bands | 11:55 |
| elisa87 | that festival sounds quite great | 11:55 |
| elisa87 | WoW.... !! How come...? 700 bands only in 14 days?! | 11:55 |
| nickmoeck | a lot of them are local bands, but most of them are pretty good | 11:55 |
| elisa87 | could you name the most famous local band from milwaukee? maybe I know them | 11:55 |
| elisa87 | :) | 11:55 |
| nickmoeck | There's usually 5 to 10 bands playing at the same time, on all different stages. The festival is huge | 11:56 |
| nickmoeck | http://www.summerfest.com | 11:57 |
| nickmoeck | that website will tell you all the bands that are scheduled to play this year, so far. | 11:57 |
| nickmoeck | There will be a lot more bands added the closer it gets to the festival | 11:58 |
| elisa87 | wow ..I am happy to know about their existence | 11:58 |
| nickmoeck | Another great place to see some bands is The Rave, in milwaukee. http://www.therave.com | 11:59 |
| elisa87 | thx for the info | 12:00 |
| elisa87 | but what about the people? | 12:00 |
| elisa87 | how are they? | 12:00 |
| elisa87 | warm or not? let's be honest plz | 12:00 |
| nickmoeck | people around here are generally pretty nice | 12:00 |
| elisa87 | good:) The university is around the lake as I saw in pics...it's good:) | 12:01 |
| nickmoeck | Well, I should be getting to sleep, it's getting late. | 12:04 |
| nickmoeck | It was nice meeting you :) | 12:04 |
| elisa87 | what are the other languages spoken out there ? | 12:05 |
| elisa87 | ok | 12:05 |
| elisa87 | thx buddy | 12:05 |
| elisa87 | I am grateful for your information and help | 12:05 |
| nickmoeck | Languages... just English really | 12:05 |
| elisa87 | wished if they could speak italian and french as well:D | 12:05 |
| nickmoeck | Yeah, unfortunately, there aren't a lot of people who speak other languages - but you might find some at school | 12:06 |
| elisa87 | :) | 12:07 |
| elisa87 | in NY the second language is Spanish as I know | 12:07 |
| elisa87 | :D | 12:07 |
| nickmoeck | There are some areas in Milwaukee where mostly everyone speaks Spanish, but they're not very good areas to go to. Lots of crime | 12:08 |
| elisa87 | :)))) | 12:08 |
| elisa87 | it was good to know that | 12:08 |
| elisa87 | btw is the madison itself safe enough for a girl? | 12:09 |
| elisa87 | as I am coming on my own to madison! | 12:09 |
| nickmoeck | Madison is pretty safe, yes | 12:09 |
| nickmoeck | Well, now its definitely time for me to go to bed :) Goodnight | 12:13 |
