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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be careful of bottleneck courses, which are courses that a large number of students are required to take to get a degree but only a limited number of classes are offered. These classes fill up very quickly and thus require students to be put on a waiting list. These waiting lists fill up very quickly so it is imperative that you get on the list as soon as the course fills up.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The academic rigor at this college is about moderate plus in my opinion. Some classes are going to be more intensive than others. However the more intensive classes tend to be the 300 and 400 level courses which is to be expected.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorm life at UWSP is pretty good in my opinion. Within the dorm communities there are many programs put on by the community advisers which are beneficial to the residents. There are plenty of quiet places to study and a nice computer lab in each dorm.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The university has a student run dining service which has gained a lot of attention for being one of the best student run dining facilities in the state. The food is pretty good as well! Also there is quite a good variety among the different facilities.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many fields for playing football, soccer, baseball, and just about anything else. There are many athletic clubs such as the disc golf club. There are many parks to visit with many great fishing spots.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For what you are paying for it would be next to impossible to receive a better education.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Stevens Point is very well known for being the best college for natural resource majors in the country so it should come as no surprise that if your into natural resources you should go here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Like i mentioned previously there is a disk golf club and they are very involved in the various courses in the portage county area. There are many other great clubs as well including ones relative to various majors.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There is a campus patrol and they are very friendly people. There are also many emergency beacons throughout the campus.
