When I brag to my friends about UW- Oshkosh it's always about how accepted I feel on campus. I came out as being gay in the beginning of my freshman year on campus and had an incredible amount of support. People I barely knew were still asking me to hangout, particiapte in activites, and most importantly be their friend. I had a fear that being gay would be a setback and earn me no friends on campus, however the opposite happened.

I live in Chippewa and almost everyone from my class went to schools that are close to home and that was never what I wanted to do so I find myself talking a lot about how good of a choice it was for me to move away for school. I also love my school because I met really great people and all of the staff that I have had are very helpful! I love the school spirit too, makes the transition so much easier.

The UWO Football team as well as different clubs, organizations, and opportunities.

Farther away from home! Many of my friends went to UW-Platteville which is only about 30 minutes away from where we are from. Being at Oshkosh has allowed me to grow up and become more responsible. I am practically living on my own. I can only go home once a month, if I'm lucky. I have a job up here and it allows me to explore different cultures than my small hometown.

Everything is just a couple minutes walk away. Everything you could possibly want (within reason for a broke college student) can be found/bought either on campus, or within walking distance from it. There's several places to eat, and there's Starbuck's locations in several of the academic buildings!
