REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThere are a lot of different classes that are offered at Platteville. You get to pick and choose which classes you want to take.
Marissa from Oregon, WI
The majority of my professors are all actively working in their industry in addition to teaching, and therefore are very current on events. This adds an excellent component to class time, I'm never just learning facts, rather useful information I can relate to the real world and the workforce.
Sara from WI
I love the campus atmosphere, being from a graduating class of 32, platteville is the perfect size. I guess one thing that the guys like, the guy to girl ratio is 2:3, keeping them happy! It's not too city like, it has the town and necessities, but it's also very country...we have the largest M to climb!
Cassandra from Oconto Falls, WI
Platteville is perfect for anyone who wants a great education in a fun place without being overwhelmed by a city. It's a small campus in a small town, so don't expect the UW - Madison experience. That being said, UW- Platteville is an excellent place to experience college and spend 4 (or more) great years.
Nicole from Hortonville, WI
i have already began learning things with the classes i am in. there are certain classes that are mandatory for all majors, and future students should know that some of these classes are liberal and can have differing views of those the students have personally.
Cassanrda from Marengo, IL
Many of the classes are incredibly simple. The higher level classes are much better, but anything 2000 and bellow, you are treated as if you are a freshman in high school. It's really frustrating to be taught an education that is greatly toned down and edited. The number of required survey classes for general education just makes this experience extended for all four years...
Neil from Crystal Lake, IL
This college is a rated 8 for me
Jordan from Milwaukee, WI
Platteville has a great campus layout, its not too small or too big. The professors all seem very nice and willing to help you when you need it. Also the classes are perfect sizes, the most students in a class would probably be about 30, which means you wont just be a number to your professor.
Alisha from Rochester, MN
So far Platteville has been extremely willing to work with me and answer any questions I have. They try to place people in the most appropriate classes for them.
