I went to the University of Wisconsin for grad school, and I knew lots of people there who went to work for Epic.

I confess that, before I applied, I imagined that Wisconsin was nothing but cow pastures and football. I imagine this sentiment is shared my many young job-seekers outside the Midwest. Now, having lived there for four years, I have to say that UW is an amazing university, and Madison is my favorite city in the US.
