The transition from high school is a breeze, especially at UWOshkosh.

The school spirit and how everyone just gets along.

UW-Oshkosh is unique because you really get a sense of home when you walk onto the campus. I toured a lot of different universities and UWO was the only school that I really felt a sense of pride for. The people whom attend the university care about what is happening on campus and want to succeed in their futures. Now I know many other universities have this same motto, but UW-Oshkosh was the only university that I really felt that at. The staff and students are realistic and want you to succeed.

The classes for education majors are fairly small and most of the professors remember your first and last name on a regular basis.

I am pretty sure my school has more opportunities for education majors. I also believe that schools like to hire graduates of the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh over other schools I considered.

Oshkosh is that perfect in-between size school. Coming from a small town, I looked for colleges that were big enough to be fun and exciting but small enough to provide a sense of community and security. Oshkosh fit the bill. It's the perfect mash-up of small town and big city. It has all the big city ammenities, like malls and fine dining, with a small town feel that prevents it from being overwhelming. I am definitely going to love living there for the next four years.

The school is large enough that there is diversity and opportunity for those who want it. It is small enough that there is an opportunity for those who CHOSE to make the most of their career; though, I feel, the simple age mentality of most students means not all make use of this (I feel this statement can apply to most 18-24 year old college students, as well).

There are a lot of nursing students at UW Oshkosh due to its unique nursing programs, and a lot of teaching students because of Oshkosh's teaching programs.

Oshkosh was a one of a kind school compared to the others. Once I stepped foot on that campus for my tour I felt like I had lived there my entire life, almost as if everyone knew who I was. Every where I went on campus I felt welcome, whether it was faculty or even other students they were there to share a welcoming smile and a helping hand.

There are really no cliques. I've become good friends with people involved in greek life as well as varisty athletes, although I'm neither of those. Students are just as friendly and approachable as the professors.
