Student Life
The graduate students in the Biophysics Program are part of a friendly, diverse, inclusive, and collaborative group. They come from all over the world and form lifelong friendships, as well as develop research collaborations, within the scientific community at UW-Madison.
Beyond professional life, Madison is an enriching and stimulating place to live. It’s easy to find entertainment, with a large variety of sports, arts, and music events, as well as amazing farmers’ markets and festivals. The city and its surrounding parks and lakes offer endless opportunities for outdoor activities, including hiking, running, cycling, canoeing, sailing, ice skating, skiing, and snowshoeing, covering all four of our beautiful seasons.
Affordable housing near campus, along with excellent transportation and bike paths, makes it easy to commute and navigate the city.
