Hey - UW-Platteville is the K-Mart of the UW System, and the UW-System campuses and The University of Wisconsin at Madison are not to be confused. This would be on the order of equating Harvard and DeVry Institute.
LOL! My sister and brother-in-law chose not to go to UW-Madison (late sixties/early seventies) because they were infested with hippies and chose UW-Platteville because it wasn't. PU, at the time (and probably still is) is known for their engineering and mining majors.
