UW-Superior was the best fit for me. I made great friends, studied abroad, was on the soccer team, a member of the choir and leader of an organization. I was able to do everything here.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Choose the college you can see yourself at (this will be your home for at least the next four years)
- Get involved on-campus. A lot of the time people transfer because they don't put themselves out there and try new things. In order to enjoy college, you have to step outside your bubble and experience it.
- Beware of the party scene (especially you freshmen)
- Procrastination is inevitable, but be prepared for the consequences.
- Take responsibility for your own future. Don't wait for your parents or someone else to figure things out for you. Just step up and do it.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Your professors the first few years in college will pile a lot of homework and busy work on you. The higher you get into your major the more concentrated your studies become. Have fun with those random gen eds because once they are done, you're going to wish you had them back.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorm life is great! You get to meet a ton of new people and always know what's going on (especially on the weekends). Remember to keep an open door policy the first few weeks of school, so you are able to meet people.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food is great. Nice variety and decent hours of operation.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
More like what isn't there to do for fun? If you go out and experience new things, you will never run out of things to do. Join Outdoor Adventures and kayak Lake Superior at midnight or go cavediving at the Apostle Islands. Get into music, and join the choir like I did. You have never met professors so passionate about what they do than in the Holden Fine Arts Building. Try out for a sports team. I came here for soccer and have had the best experience ever! Go out and explore campus as well as the Twin Ports area; there is sooooo much for you to do, try and see!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Great cost for tuition. Lowest in the Twin Ports area (way lower than St. Scholastica and UMD) and even in the UW System (just compare Madison to UW-Superior and you'll see what I mean.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
YU is a great hang out spot, especially at lunch and dinner. Dorms are where you relax.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UW-Superior is great for all types of students from high school graduates to transfers. They make you feel at home here.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Lots of variety. During my time at UW-Superior, I was on numberous intramural teams including dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, flag football, IM Olympics and broomball.
I was a member and President of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee where I got to work with other athletic team leaders on fundraising and evnets.
I was a choir member and participated in numerous choir concerts.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The Campus Safety on campus are a great group of people. They take the time to get to know you.
