University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Top Questions

The most frusterating thing about my school is that many diverse majors that are offered at other schools are not offered at our campus due to recent budget cuts in our state. It would benefit many students, the community, and the campus if there were more majors available.

I have not found anything that has been really frustrating. Everything runs smooth and everyone has been helpful so far.

The most frustrating thing for me so far with school is how soon the teachers get the grades in. Some of the teachers are really good at getting assignments and test grades in quickly, but other teachers not at all. After someone takes a huge test all s/he wants to know is what they got on it. In my first semester the majority of my teachers took about a week to get grades up.

I was always extremely involved in extracurricular activities as a high school student. What frustrates me the most on campus is that I know such activities exist as there are signs advertising them all around campus. Unfortunately the advertisements do not inform students how to become involved in the organization. I would love to participate in there sponsered activites but I really enjoyed planing the activities and being an active member.

The most frustrating thing about college is when you think you did really well on an exam, but then you get your grade back and it's not what you expected. It definitely calls for some ranting. I usually blow off steam by working out or playing some kind of sport.

I would say the most frustrating thing about UW Oshkosh is trying to meet with your advisors and not always being able to get in or having them cancel on you.

If you commute, it can be hard to find parking. You either have to get to campus early, try to coincide your arrival with when earlier classes end, or walk a ways (not usually too far). They have tried to alleviate the problem by building a parking ramp, but enrollment keeps increasing. More students and staff means less available parking spots.

There is not much opportunity for off-campus employment, and on-campus employment is hard to find. Paying for school is a big challenge due to the lack of funding.

Not getting into classes you need.

The variety of food, live in dorm two years

The most frustrating thing isn't the classes, it's not the student body, it's really not anything academic at all. It's the breaks. Oshkosh has a unique break system where you get six weeks off for winter break, but you have the option to take a three week course, and there are options for different courses, but the week breakdown is frustrating. You go home for break for two weeks, then come back for three weeks, then go home again for another week. The timing is frustrating.

There isn't anything that is terribly frustrating. The parking could be closer. The parking lots are all over and you have to be shuttled to some. There are no grocery stores or convenience stores close to campus. If you need something you have to take a bus or ask for a ride if you don't have a car. Having a car on campus is very expensive. Also, I love sporting events and the students don't seem to attend or care about the games. Other than the few inconveniences, UWO is a great school.

WE have very little school spirit, I really wish people would be more active on cmapus!

The most frustrating thing about Oshkosh is the way you register for classes. The system they use can be very confusing, but after you figure out how to understand how to register it gets easier.

My school has a bad reputation for underage drinking, and most people shy away from the campus because of it.

The most frustrating thing about school is the cost of tuition because it is very hard to keep up with the costs of books, other class materials, laundry, gas money, room and board, and everyday necesities.

Lack of parking. I am a commuter student and I can never find a parking space.

The most frustrating thing about my school is mostly likely for me the social atmosphere. There are not a lot of extracurricular activities. My community college is 350 miles from home so I am not really familiar with the area and have not meet a lot of friends down there. Although I love my school I think more extra activities would help me be exposed to mor epeople and make more friends.

The school has very poor snow removal services, and they don't ice the sidewalks very well when it snows. I have seen a lot of people fall over because of this and it frustrates me to see people on crutches or in wheel chairs have to deal with the ice and snow that isn't being taken care of by the campus.

I feel this school is very liberal and that a lot of the teachers are liberal. It is hard to be conservative in a place that is liberal. Also, it seems that it is getting harder and harder to complete college without going over 4 years.
