UW-La Crosse is a great friendly environment! There is lots to do around campus and in town. I am three hours away from home and I love it here, it keeps me busy so I don't miss home to much.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be outgoing! Many people describe college as the best years of their life, therefore you need to make the most out of your time here and enjoy it while you can.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
La Crosse is not easy to be accepted into and not everyone gets accepted here. Some of the class sizes are big and others are small. Its academic rigor is at a perfect level. You cannot do good if you do not apply yourself and it is challenging.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living in a small space is not exactly ideal. Although, living in the dorms allows you to meet so many more people and there are so many activities that you do with your hall that it becomes exciting!
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are two food buildings here on campus. One is a buffet type style so you can eat as much as you want! There are lots of choices to choose from as well. The other is more of a restaurant style setting and is very good. We also have establishments like Red Mango, Einstein's Bagels and a Starbucks!! The food is great!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many clubs, organizations, sports and intramural sports to choose from. The campus offers lots of activities around campus, as well as guest speakers like Joe Biden who was here in October. La Crosse is also full of beautiful bluffs that you can climb!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
La Crosse is right around my price range for school and is definitely worth what I am paying. The facilities stay clean and the food is great. There are also many resources if you need help with just about anything.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Rec Center is here on campus and is so fun. You can go there if you want to play basketball, volleyball or if your just looking to get a workout in or some lifting. There are also a handful of classes to take there such as cycling, boot camps and Zumba which I am currently in now. Rock climbing wall, track and ping-pong tables are also available there.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
La Crosse is great for any type of student. There is so much to do here and so many friendly people that you will find people just like you.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are clubs for different majors, sororities, and faternitities. The different residence halls sponsor activities at that hall or outside of it with food, games, and music.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a few sororities and fraternities but La Crosse is not a huge campus of Greek life.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
At a lot of other colleges, peoples personal items often get stolen. But, here at La Crosse I don't worry about it. I leave my door unlocked when I go to the bathroom or to take a shower cause you don't have to be worried that someone might go in your room and steal your TV. After a long night out with friends, sometimes i have to walk back to my dorm by myself because my friends live in another dorm and I feel completely safe doing so.
