REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors here, really want to help you. They know how to teach in a fun way.
Gao Kalia from Appleton, WI
The classes are great for any kind of student whether you enjoy large lecture halls, or small sized classes. Every professor takes the time to get to know you on a professional manner and the school environment is safe and friendly.
Oralia from Burr Ridge, IL
I am a first semester sophomore and I have learned a lot in the past year and a half. Being in a University allows me to learn a lot more in all areas and subjects. I am learning new information and I see how each subject intertwines with each other. I am not only learning in the classroom, but I am also learning how to live on my own, how to be more independent, and money mangement.
sarah from Milwaukee, WI
The classes are small enough so you can get to know your teachers and ask for help on a one on one basis.
Jacquleyn from Mondovi, WI
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point is a great college to attend if you prefer a generally smaller sized campus. Class sizes tend to be smaller as a result which I find very beneficial. Additionally most professors are welcome to questions and will often meet outside of class to help when asked.
Daniel from Tomahawk, WI
I'm a College of Natural Resources major in Resource Management: Environmental Ed/Interpretation and going for certification in Wetland Sciences. The professors at this school for any discipline are amazing! It's a small enough school that they take time to get to know you, and you build relationships with them so they can be used as references! The teachers understand that everyone is going for a different major and they know not everyone is good at every class. Very fair graders and willing to work with students needs. Plus, they offer all sorts of gym courses from rock climbing to tennis, badminton, taekwondo (which I volunteer and teach at the University! and in TKD Club!) and others like CPR, so even if you're not a fan of gym, you can find something for you!
Katie from Stevens Point, WI
This University allows you to learn in more than just the classroom, there are hundreds of ways to get involved on campus, and everyone is incredibly friendly. This is my third year at this University, and I feel more at home here than in the town I grew up in. You will definitely be welcomed.
Morgan from Stevens Point, WI
Point is a safe environment because it's such a small and quiet town, that whomever goes there, will feel secured . It is also very friend and can really pull in people into clubs to make them feel welcome. Lastly, UWSP is a college that really wants their students to do well academically but also in their future when they graduate from there.
Mai from Milwaukee, WI
