REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingBy having a mixture in class size I am beginning to see what works best for me. Pit classes are generally the hardest to learn in, but having a great professor makes things a lot easier. Professors are generally easy going & really are here to help you learn. They strive to learn your names & enjoy answering questions you may have.
Lindsey from Lomira, WI
Coming from a small, private high school in Milwaukee, I did not know what to expect from my college classes. I was stunned to learn how diverse all of my classes are and how easy it is to understand my lessons. Whenever I do have difficulty with a class, my professors have always been there to help explain what it is that I am not understanding. None of my classes have been too challenging, but they have never been too difficult, either. All the professors are also very animated and make the class enjoyable and interesting.
Elizabeth from Milwaukee, WI
The classes range from pit (100-200), to large (29-100), to small (12-28). However, each class is taught by a teacher who will be more than happy to help you if you ask for it. The teachers use many different teaching methods, meaning that you'll find at least one effective way in learning the material.
Madysen from Neenah, WI
The professors are helpful and full of knowledge, and I'm having a great learning experience. The theatre department is especially great for hands-on learning first-hand. I've learned more about the theatre arts here in a few months than I have in four years of high school.
Samantha from Sobieski, WI
Just like every colleges out there I presume, this is a college. It's no longer high school. If you don't keep up with your studies you will not learn. Your educational experiences and learning experiences are based on your willing to learn.
Most professors teach at a decent pace where one cannot fall behind unless you skip class for a week. Some professors are even nice enough to go one on one with you after class to clarify any misunderstanding you might have.

Kia from Oshkosh, WI
Adjusting from high school to college is a HUGE task! It goes from daily assignments to studying, studying, and more studying. Time management and self discipline are the biggest necessities for succeeding in college. Oshkosh has wonderful professors that help their students jump feet first into the water but never lets them drown. The easiest way to get a good grade, besides studying, is getting to know the professors. They want to help you learn and succeed, that's what they are there for. Also, attend class because that's what will help you learn the most!
Briana from Madison, WI
i love it here now, the people are great. yeah sometimes you come around people that you don't like or get along with but that happens at every college. the teachers really know how to help you out if you ask for it and that's what i like.
Tess from Milwaukee, WI
Oshkosh has a great campus that offers many options for students. It also has many groups, organizations and athletics for each any every students needs. I love the staff there because they will work with you on a personal level if needed.
Ariane from Menomonee Falls, WI
This campus has a variety of ways to help you succeed in the classroom. First off, there are a mixture of big pit lecture halls or small size classes. If you're accepted into the UW-Honors program you're class sizes are no larger than 15 kids. Also, there are many posters hung up around school offering tutors. For me math has always been a struggle but the free math lab has tutors who are there especially for your individual math class. The teachers are always willing to help you or ask questions if you need to. Overall, this campus is a great educational UW school.
