Review of University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point

from Milwaukee, WI

Describe your college in three sentences.

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.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Some tips are that when looking for a college to attend to, look for one that will really benefit your future and yourself. A college is a big step for a lot of people and you want to find one that will make you a better person but will make you work harder for yourself.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Point could be rigorous or not depending on the classes that you take. When you're getting into your core classes, then definitely it will get harder, but hey, it's something that you enjoy doing. Also if you're having a hard time, class sizes are small and intimate so it won't feel so competitive when needing help from a professor.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorm life is amazing! The people are great and you get to choose who your room mate is or get randomly put into a room with one. People are nice even if you don't know them and you do get to build life long relationships with your room mate, whether you knew them or not. Also, the dorms are safe and quiet and the RA's do really enforce rules for everyone's safety and just for the community itself.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

You get to use your meal swipes for everything basically! Determining how much swipes you get, you really have no limit. The food is great and only strives for the healthiness of the student body. Definitely a great thing!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are a lot of activities and events that are always going on in UW-Stevens Point. You are always emailed daily to get news about what will be going on for the day and how you can get involved in different clubs and activities. There are also group fitness every night that can also intrigue you, but once you make new friends, there are places that are walking distance that many young people go to, to have fun.

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

UW-Stevens Point overall is a great school. It's not too small, but not too big either. I'd say it's perfect size. It's only goal is to make the life of the student body better and to make them academically challenged but for the career. Definitely a great school to go to because there's just so much to do at Point even though it's a small town.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Point isn't really diverse, so it emphasizes on cultural differences. Point wants equal distribution to all students whether the different race or not. So if you're a minority, come to Point definitely, they want you!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

The clubs and activities at Point are a great way to getting to know more and new people and get involved into campus activities and really feel important in the communities. The clubs are always welcoming and there are many flyers and announcements of what each club is always doing. Always be on a lookout!

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Campus safety is highly tolerated at Point. Everyone is safe and no one feels neglected and endangered. There are security cameras and call/emergency boxes outside everywhere if you ever need help.
