University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh? Why?

Jacob

The process of ordering and purchasing books at the schools bookstore is unorganized and hard to complete within a single week.

Brooke

The worst thing at my school is that there is not always enough availability to get the classes needed in order to graduate on time. Some people have to wait an entire year to get the class or go to a nearby school. As an example, I was not able to get into physiology for two semesters and ended up taking the class elsewhere.

Taylor

If I had to choose, I would probably say the worst thing about Oshkosh is that I can only use one meal swipe per time slot as a freshman. Sometimes you get hungry when studying late at night, but you can't go to Scotty's to get anything to eat using your plan. It's not a huge deal, though, because the Corner Convenience Store usually saves the day on that one.

Tara

The students are the worst thing. They are all kind of inconsiderate and rude. They are not friendly and make the college experience not very fun.

Ceasar

I cannot think of any bad things about my school. Well, it is not really about the school, it is more of the city. They have a lot of roundabouts and it gets scary during winter. Our school is lovely as what it is. I love my school, so I cannot really spill out anything unlikeable about it. There may have some bad things about my school, but it is not enough to be part of my mind to be considered.

Elizabeth

In my opinion the worst thing about UW-Oshkosh would be, honestly I love Oshkosh. I do not really have anything bad to say about the school. When telling others about the school, I recommend everyone to coming here.

I would consider the worst thing about my school is the crimes. This year within the first two months of school we had four robbings, and two batteries. The worst thing about my campus in my consideration is the crime within the first semester.

Its far from home, I miss my family and my dog.

Coming from a town where diversity flourished, it's safe to say that Oshkosh is lacking in the diversity department. It's troubling to me that some students look at our ethnic demographic and think over 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} caucasion is 'diverse' by any means. I see a lot of 'natural' segregation on campus. Even though students here are very friendly dispite that fact, it seems to be diluting the possibility of having that "maximum college experience" that we all hope to achieve in our few short years at a university.

Mark

Right now I would consider the worst thing about my school the unusually high amount of criminal activity, much of it directed toward or even perpetrated by students. This rash of unusual violence has led me to be quite concerned for the welfare and safety of the on campus students. It is my belief and my hope that the sincere and dedicated efforts of the local law enforcement agencies, both on campus and in the city itself will continue to work to apprehend the criminals and protect the students. I hope the school continues its safety emphasis and efforts too.

Chloe

I hate that it can be so hard to enroll into the classes that you may need for the next semester. Some times you are forced to wait a semester to take a certain class because there aren't enough seats open for all of the students that have to take the class.

Carly

I don't think Oshkosh does a great job of explaining the requirements and expectations that must be met before you're accepted to your specific program. In my experience, I feel that some aspects were not made out to be as important as they really are and I was not told enough up front during my freshman year about my program.

Haley

I think the worst thing about my school for my persoanlly is that it is not very racial diverse comapred to my hometown.

Linda

In my opinion I don't believe there is anything wrong with my school. I would say I made a good choice in my school selection because the have a great education system that helps kids like me pursue my life dreams. The support that the school gives is great and I would not go back in time to pick a different school, I would pick Oshkosh again.

Lauren

I think that the worst thing about my school are the prices of things. When going to eat and getting an a-la-carte item it is extremely over priced. For example a 12 oz. container of milk is $2.49 which is almost the price of a full gallon of milk. I think that the prices of food for the amount that we get is extremely bad as well. They act like the food that they have is scarce, when we are paying almost $15,000 for school I think we deserver better and healthier options.

KaBao

There is really nothing wrong with this University. The worst 'thing' would differ from person to person. Depending on how much effort one is putting into meeting new people, exams, and even getting help is up to them. One student can say that the difficulty of meeting new people is the worst, but are they putting in the effort to get out of their social bubble to actually meet new people? The university is not perfect but it is also not the worst.

Alyssa

Honestly, I really enjoy going to UW Oshkosh. As a transfer student, I came from a school I didn't find my place in and I find Oshkosh to be a very comfortable campus. It's easy to make friends because it's a very social campus and there are a lot of ways to get involved. Possibly the worst thing about Oshkosh, could be that because it's a very social campus, it can be easy to get distracted. Just maintain great focus and find organizations and clubs that will be helpful to your future.

Ajha

Overall, in my opinon, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is a great school. The school itself, is very friendly and beyond welcoming to new comers as well as old. The "worst" thing that I have encountered about my school is the partying. I wont say it should'nt be allowed nor that students should not partake in such activity but it's becoming known too all others and people that are not even students join. They come from all over to participate, and it makes outsiders judge that the students have no focus.

The worst thing about my school is the fact that it is overly crowded and classes are limited but i believe that applies to most school and if youre motivated to get a class, you will find a way.

Matthew

The absolute worst thing about the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is the amount of drugs going around. Last year, we had the highest drug bust rate of any campus per capita.
