There are new and exciting activities to do almost every day. We focus on expressing each student's talents and letting them find themsevles.

My original plan was to attend UW- Madison, but when I toured La Crosse I actually began to tear up because it felt like I had come home; the size, atmosphere, surroundings, and amazing academeic opprotunities let me know I had made the right choice.

One of the main reasons why I picked La Crosse was because of thier Exercise Science major. It allows me to specialize or choose a concentration that will best fit my future, and that is what I really like. At this point in my college career, I am still kind of undecided. The fact that there are so many options is what caught my attention right away.

The size definitely helped my decision. It felt like home because it is a nice neighborhood with little crime, has a lot of activities and places to escape and relax. Most schools were too big, felt too crammed together and felt like I would just blend in with the crowd. I wanted a place I felt I could stand out, and La Crosse definitely completes those requirements. When a lot of other schools made me feel disconnected to the rest of the school, La Crosse feels like one big community, and that is a good feeling.

At UW-La Crosse class sizes are small and professors are approachable and care about their students. It is easy to ask questions and the staff enjoys students' interest in their academics. The campus environment is extremely welcoming and diversity and inclusion are a top priority. There are many options for how to spend your weekend, with the bluffs, Myrick Park and marsh, and downtown La Crosse all within easy walking distance.

I believe that the environment of UWL is what makes this campus unique from others. Not only the beauty of the nature that surrounds the campus, but also the environment that the staff and students create. The campus is surrounded by beautiful bluffs and is near the Mississippi River and has a very appealing look. However, I think the most important part is the environment that the staff and students create. The staff is very helpful and understanding, while the students are very accepting and kind. This creates a very inviting and comforting environment across the UWL campus.

My school is unique in the fact that it is a friendly, resourceful, welcoming, and changing school. They are constantly looking for ways to improve and expand our education and facilities here at UW-L. The people on our campus is welcome, friendly, and loving towards others. When I first came here, I was really nervous about classes and meeting new friends. Fortunately, I have met and made so many new friends, and I am happy to call this place my new "home."

My school is small and in a beauiful city. It only takes ten minutes to walk across campus, which is wonderful in the winter. Most people on campus are happy and will smile at you as you walk to class.

La Crosse is a beautiful area with historic downtown La Crosse only minutes away from campus, and La Crosse also has the comfort of nature all around with the bluffs being visable from any part of campus. Students at La Crosse are very active, social, and caring of one another. The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse is like it's own community located within La Crosse.
