University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

UW Oshkosh was a good choice for me because is was close to home and less expensive than a private university.

This school is just big enough, but not as big so that a person would need a bike or car to get around. All classes are within walking distance. In addition, there are dorms designated only for freshman, which makes it easy to interact and makes friends with fellow classmates that are the same age.

UW-Oshkosh is completely centered around what exactly each student needs, and strives to provide it. This can refer to the numerous clubs and organizations that exist, or the various majors that are provided. Also, the school offers wonderful recreational and sports facilities as well as excellent advising services for classes and other aspects of campus life. It offers a safe and secure environment, which is unlike any other in that it strives to offer each student exactly what he or she needs to be successful.

My school is unique because it is a larger populated university in the state of Wisconsin, however, every aspect of my college experience has been very individualized. I feel as if I am not just a number and that the one on one attention that has been given to me has made such a difference in my learning experience. My school has presented me with so many extracurricular opportunities and I feel like at a larger sized school I would not be given these opportunities.

UW Oshkosh really wants you to succeed and there are plenty of people who are there to help you succeed. The campus is only a 10 minute walk from one side of the campus to the other side and the dorms are relatively close to the classroom buildings. UW Oshkosh is becoming a green school and encourages to recycle correctly. Their safe walk is also an amazing asset to the school. If you don't want to walk home late at night by yourself use safe walk and a CSO (police officer) will walk you back to your dorm.

the campus is close to the river and is generally very quiet. There is a city bus that stops at many convenient places that is free to students with their ID cards. The campus is small enough to walk to anywhere on campus in ten minutes or less, and the dorms are conveniently located on the campus.

UW Oshkosh is unique to other colleges because for me it was closer to home, but still felt like I was away at college. UWO is one of the biggest public schools in Wisconsin, but don't let that scare you because most of the students on campus are very friendly and open to talk to. One major plus about UWO is they are always building NEW buildings for students such as dorms and lecture halls, so the campus is getting newer and newer every year.

My school requires internships to graduate with a business degree. They help place students in one and they want students to do more than one. They also allow students to take interim (classes over break for three weeks) at no extra cost. It is a great way to be able to take 18 credits during the semester, without having to actually handle them all during the semester. My school was very excited to have me come here, versus the other schools I was considering. I loved how much they wanted me here, it has been a great fit.

The University of Oshkosh is a great school to attend. It is unique in the aspect that it offers online degree courses. The ability to attend college from the comfort of your home has never been easier. The online programs offer students the flexibility to work at your own pace. The course information is easy to understand and the workload is acceptable. The professors are very accessible if a problem should arise.

UW-Oshkosh is very focused on being a "green campus" and is constantly improving how the buildings and students effect the environment.

Prior to UWO, I attended UW-Milwaukee. I was attracted to UWM because of the attractions off campus and the prospective campus life. However, after a semester I transferred to UWO because it seemed like a milder version of all of the things I had hoped for at UWM. UWO is a great campus to attend. All of the offices regarding advising, financial aid, etc., are very student friendly. I received so much help as a transfer student mid-year. UWO is a very friendly campus that offers great educational opportunities as well as enjoyable on and off campus activities.

I think what is unique about my school is the interim classes they offer in the winter and spring. UW- Oshkosh is one of the few schools that incule these interim classes in your tution so you don't have to pay extra for them. Interims are a great way to get more credits completed so you can graduate early or on time. I've heard many schools charge extra for thier interim classes and I feel really fourtanete to go to a school that offers these classes. It's a great benefit everyone should take advantage of.

UW-Oshkosh has a great education program, as well as a great radio/TV/film program. I am planning to transfer into the education program and my husband is attending for the radio/TV/film major. It is a great fit for both of us!

What I think makes this campus the most unique would have to be the atmosphere of the diversity of people and the beautiful campus building and surroundings. I loved how this campus did not feel like it was in the middle of a city, but it was its own small community. It is easy to get involved and be acepted by others.

The Campus is all in one area. There is no need for shuttles to get from your dorm to acidemic buildings. We are also the Greened UW school in Wisconsin.

The University of Wiscoins- Oshkosh is unique because of its many helpful programs. Not only are the professors always willing to help, there are also several tutoring opportunities. There are tutors availible for every subject as well as study groups. We also have students that have taken and passed the class hold study sessions which has proven to be very helpful. Because of it being a smaller university, I am able to get the one on one help I need to suceed.

They seem very academically oriented and the teachers actually care

What's unique about this school is the campus set up I believe. This school that I know of, is the onlt school to have just freshmen dorms.

I think the best part about this specific campus is the campus ministry called CRU. I feel very connected through them and I would hope and wish for more students to feel connected, appreciated, and loved through that group. Furthermore, I really enjoy how the food system is set up here and I take advantage of every event they offer (e.g., midnight breakfast).

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is different from all of the other schools that I looked at. When I walked onto the campus here, I had a sense of being at home. I felt as though I would feel comfortable living here. There is a true sense of community and family. The school has the right amount of students for me. It is not to small and not to big. In my classes, I feel as though my professors know who I am. Oshkosh offered my major that I wanted and also I am able to play golf here.
