from Milwaukee, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

UW-Green Bay is a great university for academic and social purposes. With the addition of tunnels, the school creates a family atmosphere, and makes students feel at home. The people you meet here will definitely help encourage you and will make an impact that you will remember for the rest of your life!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make sure to get involved and join one of the 150+ organizations located on campus, or simply start your own. This will lead to the success of your college career here!

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Study, study, study! At UW-Green Bay, the classes do require one to study and critically think, but because of the smaller class sizes, the professors know you almost personally and will take the time to check on you to ensure your success. Be sure to utilize their office hours, and explore UWGB's other free resources such as the writing and/or tutoring center.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

UWGB's residence halls have their own bathrooms in each room; the only person you have to share with is your roommate! Also, there is a lounge area with a TV, free for use any time with cable access, and there is a kitchen area with a stove, microwave, and refrigerator, all free and open to students! Additionally, within each room, there is cable access and free wifi!

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There are tons of food options on campus including grilled food, fried food, pasta, tasty Mexican dishes, home cooked meals, and more! Also, some places off-campus accept pass points, which is like your UWGB version of a debit card.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

Other than hang out with friends, the school makes sure to have a program almost daily for students to attend. Also, every month, the school hosts a dance party on campus which is loads of fun, and other times the school has game nights. These two events in particular are almost everyone's favorite!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Almost everything offered here is free for students, including gym access used by the D1 athletes!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

At UWGB, we have a shoe tree which is utilized by the college's graduates. Once they graduate, they throw their shoes onto the trees, representing them leaving their soles on campus!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students who enjoy a more close-knit, family-like atmosphere. You are bound to have multiple classes with at least one person, especially within your first two years.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are over 150 student organizations for every type of student, and if you cannot find one meant just for you, it's simple to begin your own!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is one fraternity and one sorority on campus. The school is not big on Greek life.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

This school is generally safe. I personally feel safe during anytime of the day or night walking to where I need to go. However, for extra protection, public safety, the police officers on campus, are available during anytime to walk you back to your residence hall or apartment, or for anything you need to help you feel safe.
