Friendliness of the staff, facilities.
What impressed you negatively?
End-of-the-day talk about why Wisconsin is a "Top-10" school. The dean made an awkward compilation of different rankings that put Wisconsin in the top-10, which was obviously contrived. We don't need an arbitrary ranking to know that UW is a good school.
