What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
As a high school senior, we don’t think about the importance of having a good attendance or good grandees. In college, grades and attendance are crucial. If I were to travel back in time I would change so many things that I did in high school and that now I regret. For example I would try to have good grades to maintain a good GPA as well as having good attendance. I would also take APA classes in high school because they would help me on my way to a college education. In addition, I would also advise myself to be more involved in my community. Community service it is important when applying for scholarship; I would try to be more involved and do more community services and give back to my community from which I had received a lot from.

What kind of person should attend this school?
Someone that should attend UW Oshkosh, is someone who needs to be ready to challenge themselves. That means they'll need to study more than they had in high school, but more importantly realize that they are on their own now. UW Oshkosh isn't like high school, where you had to go to class everyday, the teachers watched over you and there were rules to follow. Then in college everything is up to you, if you need help you have to ask for it, make sure you go to class everyday and never give up on yourself.

What's unique about your campus?
One of the best things about my school is the class sizes. Depending on how many people you are comfortable with being in a class with there are many different choices. You can choose larger lectures with upwards of around two hundred students or smaller classroom settings with around twenty students. Either way, it is still entirely possible for the professors to have a relationship with students on an individual basis.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish that I knew of the many different ways in which you can receive finical aid and not worry about getting a campus job. I also wish I knew how to manage my time more than I thought I knew how to you. Time management is important if you plan on playing any kind of college sports; knowing is one thing but to effectively do it is a whole other ball game. Lastly, I wish I knew how to use my professors’ help/office hours to the fullest and not let my questions go unanswered.

Most colleges get the rep for drinking and it's true drinking does take place on campus but there are students, especially upperclassmen who care much more about academics than getting inebriated. Oshkosh has also become a much more respected university over the years and has exceptional Nursing, Education, and Business programs.

What are the academics like at your school?
Class sizes for program courses are like that of a high school classroom and there are only a few large pit classes. All of my professors know me by name and really appreciated it when you come visit them in their office hours. Class discussions are really beneficial and it's a great way to get to know fellow students and professors. The goal of education at UW-O is geared towards I think making the most of one's self in a job that will let one succeed in something they love.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
I love the size of the campus. We have 11,000 students and it's the perfect size. Not too big or too small. I also like how everything is grouped together and it's very easy to get each building on campus. Finally, there are many clubs and activities available to students to get involved and the majority of professors are extremely helpful and there to help you succeed. My favorite thing about Oshkosh was when I lived in the dorms. I got to know so many people including my two best friends. I also learned a lot about myself as a person and how to live on my own.
