University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Top Questions

It would be nice if more people stayed on weekends. There is a thought that there is nothing to do here, which is kind of true. The city really should try and attrack more businesses.

Most of the people that attend this school are binge-drinking hicks. I'm actually transferring spring 2009 to a different university.

Not too much, some of the teachers are difficuly, but thats to be expected.

They are constantly doing construction on campus, you have to find alternate routes to class.

Freshman advisors are not knowledgable in the less popular degrees such as mine (Integrated Science and Business) and are not sure what classes you should enroll in. If you are planning on perusing a degree away from the normal Business, Art, or Teaching degrees get in contact with an advisor in the college you will be entering. Also the fact that most students living in the dorms go home for the weekend. If everyone stuck it out for the weekends the college would me much closer and entertaining.

Again, I think that the most frusterating thing about my school is that you have to travel 25 minutes to get to the nearest town that actually has stores and activities to do. Target, Starbucks and resturants are all open later and there is more to do in Janesville. (the closest town) I think that it would be a lot easier living here on campus if the town of Whitewater was more "college friendly"

Half of the school goes home on the weekends.

The most frustrating thing in my own opinion would have to be the amount of outreach to newer students or any students for that matter to get involved. I believe the groups and clubs of campus should be more active to get students involved so they can fit in and make more friends.
