Despite low COVID-19 rates amongst students and faculty, there are still considerable flaws in the manner in which safety measures are being presented, enforced and followed. But with such a high vaccination rate amongst students and faculty, does the lack of regulation ultimately matter?
From Gordons to State Street, Witte to the Hub, the way in which students view the University of Wisconsin-Madison is greatly impacted by the place in which they live. A naive freshman immediately feels overwhelmed by the immensity of this institution as they are swarmed by thousands of students walking from place to place. The community that is created by freshmen dorms allows for these intimidated individuals to make a large campus feel a little bit smaller.
Freshman Elliot Seals signed a lease on Oct. 20 but won’t be moving in until Aug. 18, almost 10 months later. He’s not the only one who signed his lease this early — just under two months after move-in week, students are already signing leases and preparing for the start of next year. Signing leases early is simply part of Madison’s culture, students say, though many have questioned why this is the case.
Picture this: you’re walking into your dorm building as a bright-eyed freshman, excited to acclimate yourself to living away from home and learning to be an adult. What you don’t know is that you won’t be living in your building alone. And no, I don’t mean with your roommate.
With the chaos that comes with the beginning of a new school year, students need time to readjust to life in college as we catch up with old friends, set new intentions for the year ahead and get back into the swing of things.

Those who were unfortunate enough to live in Witte Residence Hall during the 2019-20 school year no doubt still have severe trauma from memories of the “Witte poop bandit.”

With the fall semester well underway, University of Wisconsin-Madison students are adjusting to a (mostly) in-person class schedule for the first time in a year and a half. However, for the thousands of students taking a chemistry course with a lab this semester, classes remain virtual due to ongoing construction delays of the university's chemistry building.
Most students have rejoiced about being in-person again. We’re able to see our friends, make new ones and actually know how tall our professors are. But, some students are missing the ease and privacy of Zoom school. The main reason? Students actually have to shower now, so as not to offend their classmates.
The Badgers pulled off their eighth sweep of the season on Friday night in front of a 7,540 person crowd at the Wisconsin Field House. The fans’ excitement was contagious as Wisconsin’s volleyball team defeated their conference rivals 25-17, 25-22, 25-17.
Upon returning to campus, the most common back-to-school question I was asked was: “What did you do over the summer?” In short, I would always respond: “I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), without being a CNA.” While this description confused my peers, this was the best way to summarize my summer job.

In “Greek life being Greek life,” relentless socializing spurred the foreseeable lockdown of 22 sorority and fraternity houses at the start of the 2020-2021 academic year. Presently, however, Greek life is not at fault — the blatant disregard for in-chapter sorority members is.
