Ultimately, this leads to loss of valuable time and effort and possibly loss of interest for the student.

The chemistry graduate program is one of the best in the nation, and the department is very collaborative.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison chemistry department has a wonderful culture which fosters a welcoming and warm fraternity between students and faculty alike. Madison itself is a wonderful city. I have a daughter and there is a lot for us to do together as a family in the city.

For such a top-notch program, all the professors and students here are very friendly and down-to- earth. For that reason, it's been very easy transitioning to graduate school.
