University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Top Questions

I wish I would have known that the diversity at this school is reletively low. Diversity is very important to me because I can relate to others in terms of culture and tradition. When I don't have that connection, I feel left out and not part of the campus community because they can't relate to me as much and I can't relate to them either. I also would have liked to know that some professors aren't willing to be inclusive and use different techniques to teach their students.

I wish I would've known if I could afford the school, prior to going there. My finacial aid didn't come through until a month of me going to UWLAX already. If I wasn't covered for financial aid, I wouldn't have been about to go to school this year. I was a nervous wreck!

I wish I would have known exactly how reputable this school actually is. Before attending, I had always looked down upon it as just a state public school, but once I got here I realized how wrong I really was. I also wish I could have learned exactly how many oppurtunities there are to get involved. Whether you want to play a sport (either varsity or intramural), volunteer, do research, play an instrument, be in a play, it is all available here, and I don't think I would have ever known if I didn't choos to go here.

College is a time of discovery and learning. Not only do you learn about subjects such as math and scinece, but you also learn a lot about yourself and what it means to be an adult. If I could go back , I wish I would've known more about the trials and tribulations of being independent. Since I've begun my college career, I have realized and learned to appreciate the challenges of simple aspects ofeveryday life such as transportation, meals, punctuality, and time management once independent.

Before I attended the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse I wish i would have known that the class sizes were much larger than the technical college where I transferred from. Smaller class sizes help students gain a stronger relationship with their instructor because they know who you are versus having 500 people in a lecture hall.

Going into UW La Crosse I wish I would have been better educated about the study abroad program. For people that are serious about studying abroad the program advisors should make them aware of all the work that goes into studying abroad possible. They should also have people start preparing well ahead of time, that way when the time comes people can be more financial situated.

I wish I would have know about more job oprotunitites. I work for the food service, but there are tons of better jobs of campus.

Before I came to school I wish I had learned how to properly do laundry.

I wish I had known more about employment opportunties on campus before getting to campus.
