Review of University of Wisconsin-La Crosse

from La Crosse, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

Some of the friendliest people attend UW-La Crosse making it very easy to meet new people and friends. Since attending college there I have became closer to my college friends than my high school friends. The teachers are very helpful and will always help any student that is struggling because they want to see all of their students succeed.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

I recommend living in the freshman dorms because that is where it is the easiest place to meet new people. Join clubs and use the Outdoor Connection Center to your advantage. The center rents rollerblades, tents, cross country skis and basically anything you are looking for to students for a low fee. It is a great way to stay busy especially in the winter when it gets dark early. Get involved in activities because La Crosse is a great place and when you are involved that is where you get the most opportunities to see that.

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

College will be easy your freshman and sophomore year but once you start your junior year and start taking classes in your major it becomes challenging but it is worth it.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are a great place to live your first two years of college because they really help you learn study habits, get involved and meet new people.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The food is okay. Whitney isn't the best place but if you walk across campus to the Cellar you will not be disappointed.

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

Get involved in Outdoor Connection and explore the bluffs. Also do not forget to visit Petty Bone beach in the beginning of the year!!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

La Crosse is great for students interested in Biology or any field of science. They invest a lot of their tuition money from students in the College of Science and Health to help students learn the most they can.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

La Crosse has so many different clubs and activities that you can get involved in! No matter who you are or what your major is, La Crosse will have something that interests you and gets you motivated.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Greek life is very small on campus. There are about 5 fraternities and sororities, each have about 30 members in them.

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

Campus is very safe. You need a card to access your dorm so that it is safe and there are blue buttons all over campus that you can push if you feel like you are in danger at anytime.
