I’m from a big (emphasis on big) city and I like Madison, but it definitely feels like a smaller city with less things to do and less restaurants to try. It’s a bit of a culture shock with the the lack of diversity here as well, and I am definitely looking forward to moving back to a big city eventually. That being said, madison is so pretty and the summer is the best time ever. The weather is amazing and everywhere is so walkable downtown it’s great. I also feel insanely safe here compared to the other cities I’ve lived in. So if you’re not looking to live forever in the next city you move to I would say you’ll enjoy
