Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Consider what is truly important to you in a school. Think about how much you are going to try to benefit from your college career or if you are just looking for a party. There are so many small aspects that are overlooked when people choose schools, which is why there are best-kept secrets like UW-Parkside.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Head into downtown Kenosha, Milwaukee, or take the short train ride to Chicago. Enjoy the sandy beaches along Lake Michigan in the summer. Go shopping at the Pleasant Prairie Outlet Malls. Watch the only Division II athletics in the state of Wisconsin for free right on your campus. Get involved in organizations who host social events on a weekly basis.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
UW-Parkside is one of the cheapest schools I know of which still has a very high quality education. I paid less than $8,000 a year for a top-notch AACSB accredited business school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The campus is located right next to, or practically on, a beautiful state park with access to hiking, running, disc golf, regular golf, and more. The campus has a free disc golf course right on its grounds and a very cheap, yet quality golf course right next to campus. Also, the campus is well known for its musical and theatrical performances that go on every week. We are very fortunate to have access to something people drive into the city for right on our campus.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Well-rounded, diverse, high achieving individuals
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
UW-Parkside has one of the best Student Activities offices I have ever seen. They allow so many different clubs to be started and do everything they can to provide the resources you need to be successful. Being involved in an organization is one of the most rewarding aspects of coming to this school.
