Review of Winona State University

from Waukesha, WI

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Come into college with an open mind. Meet new people, and enjoy the college life too, because you will learn more about yourself and what you want to do with your life from these experiences.

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

Winona State University is like any other state school, depending on what classes you take and what your major is, the classes will vary on how difficult they are. The classes are never as bad as what you will read online though.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Once again, doesn't change too much compared to other schools. The big thing is that Winona State is a dry campus ,meaning no alcohol on campus, so if you plan on partying, don't get caught in the dorms because you will get kicked out.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The caf gets repetitive and bland after a while, but the school has a lot of options on campus, in an area we call the Smaug. Plenty of fast food and local restaurants will keep anybody happy.

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

If you are an outdoors-men, there are plenty of activities to do along the Mississippi River, and the lakes around campus. There are also numerous parks surrounding the campus, not to mention the downtown scene when a person is 21 is a nice way to enjoy Winona.

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

Compared to other Universities in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Winona State maybe one of the cheapest, for the same classes.

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

Always one of the top rated campus's in the nation. The security guards work along with the local police, and fire departments to assure the safety of students at Winona State University.
