It is close to home and is right on the fox river.

It had the major that I'm going for: Radio/TV/Film. Not only does it have my major, but the education I'm getting from Oshkosh in my field is one of the best that I could get in the state.

It's smaller so your classes some of the classes are smaller which can be nice. It also has a computer science program and a pretty good nursing program.

What is unique about UW Oshkosh is that the school is one of only three schools that offer a dual major in education for special and elementary education. With this as my major I will be more susceptible to employers and be able to graduate earlier with a higher degree of education. Also the campus is very friendly and inviting and offers a wonderful softball program that I am currently participating in. UW Oshkosh has many aspects that catch one's eye and benefit them greatly in the future.

I chose UW Oshkosh because it provided many oppurtunities within the science field. I also felt at home when I took the campus tour. The professors are personal and class sizes perfect so that I don't feel like just another face in the crowd. Another main reason I chose UW Oshkosh is because while touring I was introduced to the field of medical technology. Going into the tour, I was unsure of my major but knew I wanted to work in science, so when presented with this new and interesting oppurtunity I couldn't turn it down.

Campus is very condensed so it never seems like the school is as big as it is. It never feels like there are 15,000 students. You can make it from one end of campus to the other in ten minutes. It has a small town feel and all the students are very friendly and open to meeting new people. The lecture halls are big but not overwhelming large so as to make you feel uncomfortable asking questions. The classrooms are still an intimate environment and teachers know you by name if you involve yourself in the discussions.

My school has a great athletic facility and very good equipment for lifting. My school makes it very easy for its students to stay fit and active because the workout facility is open almost all the time. They don't charge money to use the workout equipment either. The professors are also very good professors. The classes challenge the students appropriately, and teach good concepts.

My school allows the opportunity to double major in Elementary Education and Special Education. This is what initially drew me to the school, however, I also found out that it has a wonderful honors program for high acheiving students and a great welcoming environment for freshman students in the freshman dorms. It also has a beautiful back campus with flowers and trees as well as the attractive and relatively new student union where a student can get art supplies, attend awesome events with speakers, magicians and performers, and get coffee while enjoying free wireless internet. Also, it is relatively compact.

I did not plan to attend the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. We - my mother and I - were visiting another school when she suggested that we visit "just one more" on the way home. Despite the fact that it was Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, and the campus was, thus, deserted, I knew immediately that this was the school for me. The sun shone, the wind blew gently, and it occurred to me: I needed to use the restroom. We found one unlocked door and ran into an employee who answered my questions. Her service and warmth drew me in.

Actually, UW- Oshkosh was the only school I considered! It has the second best Nursing College in the state. It also is only a 25 minute drive from my house to the campus. It provides everything that I currently need now and possibly what I could need in the future.
