Review of University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh

from Oak Creek, WI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I LOVE going to school at Oshkosh. This school has many things available to keep anyone busy. From tons of intermural sports, to regular season sports, to frats and sorority and many educational clubs. One of my favorite things to do during my free time is work at at the rec center. This rec center is newly built and is huge! There is indoor basketball courts, indoor and outdoor volleyball courts, a full track, 2 studios that offer free exercise classes (which are really fun!) and a variety of exercise machines!

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

Overall, the campus is really worth the money you pay. The only thing that I dislike about the money aspect of this college is that the food selection isn't worth the $1,200 you pay a semester. Some examples are: at one of the food locations (Reeve Memorial and Mi Taza) one single hard boiled egg is considered a side, which to me is ridiculous because another side could be chips, frys, mashed potatoes. Also, at Reeve Memorial, they are very picky at what you can add on to your meal. For example, at Titan Tacos, if you didn't want tomatos but wanted to add sour cream, they won't let you unless they charge you extra. Or on a burrito if you wanted beans instead of rice they won't allow that either. I feel that if I'm paying $1,200 a semester for food, I should be able to get what I want and where I want.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

A good tip is to meet the people on your dorm floor! It's really fun to get to know everyone because you'll be living in such tight quarters for a year. Also, stay active and be involved on campus. There are many ways you can meet people and have fun. I joined a soccer intermural team and it was so fun to meet new people and try something new.
