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.

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.

When applying to schools, I didn't tour the campuses so I can't provide any information for this question.

The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is a smaller school, with exceptional faculty. They have exceptional sustainability.

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.

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.

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.

My school is close to home.
