University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

I was planning on going out of state to go to school and the places I visited did not give me a "homey" feeling. I wanted a place not too small and not to big and my school gave that to me. Also I wanted to be close to home but not too close and I get that from UW-Oshkosh coming from Milwaukee, WI.

I love UWO for the great College of Business. Our Dean walks through the halls when they are busy and loves to meet students. There are numerous study rooms when you have breaks between classes, and everyone is friendly to share when they are full. The best thing about UWO is I don't feel judged when I walk down the halls like I did at my previous university.

What's unique about the school is that the class sizes are just small enough that you can form a close relationship with your professor while not making the class feel empty. It really has more of a high school feel rather than a college.

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is unique in the sense that while it is the third largest campus in Wisconsin, it is very connected. The campus building are located closesly together as well as the students. There are so many friendly people you run into and it's not like UW-Madison where you'll only see someone once and then never see them again. At UW-Oshkosh, you have the opportunity to connect with people through various clubs and sports. There are so many outgoing and friendly people to meet and the new frienships you made are endless.

The thing that is really unique about my school compared the other schools I considered is that it offers great programs without having huge class sizes. I do not feel like just a number at UWO, I feel like an individual student.

Our new general education program, the University Studies Program. It combines interesting classes like the History of Pirates with smaller class sizes, a peer mentor, and engagng educational opportunities all while staying in 100 level classes. Three essential questions are the basis for three of the core classes, sustainability, cultural competence, and civic engagement. This assures that all students get a well rounded college education full of opportunities and engagement.

The unique thing about our school is the amount of life and productivity being displayed on campus. Students are out and about whether it be intramural sports, studying in the library, eating at the commons, or just sitting outside have a good time. The energy given to school sports, and the excellency of the professors. The safety on campus with the police station being down the road and the Campus Security Officers who are also students in training to become police officers. Pretty much anything you can think of happens at UW-Oshkosh

My school is unique compared to other schools to me, because it is fully devoted to our education. There are so many resources out there for you when you need help. There's tutors, advisors, study sessions, and many more things for you to take advantage of so that you can do your best in your academics. It has really helped me a lot.

The thing I find most unique about UWO compared to other schools I considered is that it has this friendly, welcoming, enriching atmosphere and environment. Of all of the other schools I visted/considred, they did not have the same feeling/atmosphere. Other places either felt too intense (like you could not have a social life because the academic pressure was too high) or it just did not have that friendly feeling.

UW Oshkosh has been incredibly supportive through the process of returning to school as an adult student. The professors in my program are extremely involved to ensure that I receive exceptional education and that I graduate instilled with the principle to always push myself. I couldn’t have asked for more compassionate instructors that embody the philosophies of caring, integrity, and generosity. And on top of the grade-A professors, my classmates are dedicated, extremely intelligent and constantly push each other to try harder! It’s been a great environment that will help me to become the best nurse possible.
