The most unique thing about UW Oshkosh is its extensive Nursing program. The college has so many people going into nursing and with the strong emphasis on medical things, the science field is really well developed. If I were going into nursing, I would be ecstatic with the amount of resources involving nursing around campus.

Obviously school spirit is going to be present at any university you attend, but Oshkosh takes it to the extreme with our Titan pride! When looking at colleges, I was looking for a track team I wanted to be a part of. When I chose Oshkosh, I had no idea how much involved with cheering and supporting the other teams I would be. From dressing crazy to banging on drums, it's a great environment to be a part of, and it shows in our athletes' performances.

The professors and administration are extremely flexible and open to new ways of doing things in and outside of the classroom. Not only are they open to these new ideas, but they are supportive in implementing them.
Anthony
The University of Wisconsin is a tight knit community due to the size of campus, events and programs. One program is the University Studies Program in which two classes are paired with the same group of students. This is a unique way to promote community and make new friends.

The unique thing about my school is, its business school is fully accredited by an internationally recognized accreditation for business programs called Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Also, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is one of the first colleges in the nation to require that undergraduate business students should have 100 hours of professional work experience to qualify for graduation. Furthermore, our school has the most successful Model United Nations Program in the world, receiving 25 consecutive Outstanding Delegation awards at international competitions.

I think my school is unique because we try to represent a diverse group of people. We have a great LGBTQ center and Women's Center on campus. We have clubs and organizations for just about everything. Our staff also really seems to be genuinely interested in our student population, always wanting them to succeed and help them with anything they need.

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is very well-known for their nursing program. When citizens of surrounding communities hear me say that I am going for nursing at UW Oshkosh, they instantly respect me a bit more because they know and have heard how rigorous the nursing program is. It is very competitive grade and personality wise. The nursing program at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is very unique to every other school in the State of Wisconsin.
Graham
Our student involvement is unbelievable. With over 130 student groups and organizations on campus, it is almost impossible to NOT find a student org. or club that is directly beneficial to one's specific field of study. Moreover, the sheer amount of things happening on campus at any given time is incredible. As a freshman or a transfer student, you don't need to sit in your room all day and study! If someone finds a group or org. on campus, they are bound to be successful in their field of study.
Gabrielle
Honestly the professors are the nicest caring people you will ever meet. At other schools I have heard that they do not care for you they are just there to teach you their topic. The students on campus are all from different backgrounds making the campus very ethinically different. Everyday there is something on the campus to do so you never get bored.

Oshkosh offers my program as an online option. This means that I am able to take all of my core classes as well as elective strictly online while living in my home town. I have never stepped foot on campus, but I love it! I love that I am able to live at home in order to save money and the online option also allows me the time to continue to work full time!
Sarah
I chose UW Oshkosh over other schools I considered for many different reasons. The biggest reason why I decided to attend Uw Oshkosh instead of any other schools is because of the incredible faculty members. Every time I came to visit Oshkosh, they were all so nice and welcoming. Another reason I chose Oshkosh over any other school is because of the fantastic Nursing program they have. There are a ton of reasons I chose to come to Oshkosh than any other school I considered but these two reasons are the biggest reasons.

It will be my first year attending my local community college and although i am sure there are many unique aspects about the school, what attracted me the most was how helpful everyone was. Everyone is friendly and willing to give advice in order to benefit your future.

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is unique in that our ties to the community are very strong. Oshkosh is a city of roughly 60,000 people, which could be considered small by most standards. That being said, the campus tries to branch out and sponsor events around the calender to engage students in the city in which they live. Also, compared to the other schools I considered, the feeling of community here felt right from day one. The students and faculty here are lovely people, and it is a great place to receive an education.
Cheryl
UW Oshkosh offers Human Services Leadership degree online. This is beneficial for me because I am a stay at home mother of 3children. I'm looking forward to this program that is offered to achieve my dream of getting my degree. Other schools that I considered did not match the criteria that I needed.
Allison
When applying to schools, I didn't tour the campuses so I can't provide any information for this question.
Travis
The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is a smaller school, with exceptional faculty. They have exceptional sustainability.
Amie
I like the location of the campus and the variety of programs and minors the school offers. It is also unique because of the size of the campus; it is not too large, but large enough to have quite the diversity. I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps and attend the same college he did.
Victoria
In the recent school year of 2013/2014 UW-Oshkosh started a University Studies Program that attempts to connect two classes mostly in the first and second year at the institution. These classes allow for students to also go out into the community and get involved and experience new things on campus; it gives a push to the freshman who may be hesitant to participate in activities on campus. UW-Oshkosh is a guinea pig for this program and if it is successful it will be implemented in multiple colleges/universities.
Hollie
What is unique about my school is it has an acedemic schedule that includes interms. This is where students take only one class for three weeks during winter break and/ or summer break. It allows students to take a class and be able to focus on it individually. Another cool thing about it is that interm is already incorporated into tuition so it does not cost students extra money.
Emily
My school is close to home.
