University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

If you are not passionate about advancing your education, this school is not for you. UW-Oshkosh is focused on bettering our learning community and creating intelligent, diligent, and fervent individuals to join the work force. Oshkosh has the feel of a tight knit hometown, yet has the attractions of a bigger city being in the Fox Valley. If big city attractions are your cup of tea, UW-Oshkosh may not be for you.

Someone who is looking for a big city experiance.

Someone who hates cold weather!

If you never want to be in a lecture hall, you should not attend this university. While there aren't many classes that are lectures with hundreds of people, you will have to take a few in your time at Oshkosh.

You should not attend if you do not like competitive students fighting for a spot in a program. For the nusring program, dont even thing about applying if you have a 3.5 or lower you will never get in.

Someone who has a strong dislike of winter as well as an inability to cope with it, or some who can not handle large classes. Granted UWO's large classes pale in comparison to other schools like UW Madison, but I know there are people who have done poorly because they got lost in the numbers.

There are any number of people who are right for a higher education. Those I would advise to turn away are those who are not self motivated, who don’t care about their grades or know where they want to go in life. Many people say college is the place to make mistakes, but it is one high price tag to have for mistakes.

People who like big cities and the hustle-and-bustle lifestyle that goes along with that probably wouldn't like the calmer ways of Oshkosh. Also, the campus is usually quieter on weekends, so if you like more upbeat places with a lot of things to do during the weekend, this campus wouldn't be a good fit.

A person who doesn't want to go to college.

Every kind of person should be able to attend this school.
