University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Top Questions

I wish I had know that having a car at school would have made all the difference. Whitewater is a small town surrounded by miles and miles of rolling farmland. Without a car it is very easy to get stuck in the two or three block radius of campus. After a month of seeing the same scenery and the same people one can feel pretty in need of a change. However, without a car a change is not as likely as one would hope.

I wish I had known more about the sports teams before deciding on going. I still would've made my decision to attend Whitewater but I decided not to play on at team because I thought it would take away from my class and study time. I met a lot of girls who were on the basketball and softball teams who I became really good friends with and I wish I would've tried out for a team from the beginning. I'll never know how different my freshman year could've been!

For myself I wish I knew the responsibility and dedication it took to be a good student. Coming from a questionable high school career I was not the best student, but with the experiences at my college I am shaping up to be a studious and dedicated person.

Before attending this school I wish that I knew how many people actually did go home on weekends because it seems like almost everyone leaves.

Being from Tennessee, I didn't have any clue what to expect about Wisconsin weather. Just a note: it gets COLD!! :)

I wish I had known that it was a very small place. The location could work both ways for certain people. Also I wish I had known about the rankings and how competitive the school is compared to other schools.

I wish I had known that the classes were ind of hard, meaning that they would take reading and understanding what u read. i also wish someone would have told me that many sudents here like to party on the weekends. Also that students go home on the weekend and the campus is dead on the weekend.

I wish I would have known how cold the campus can be in the winter time. It can be so freezing in Wisonsin but other than that I LOVE THIS college.

That there were not many places to go in my spare time (no shopping malls and very few restaurants) and that I would need a car for any off campus destinations.

I wish I had known just how many opportunities were available to me. The campus is full of intramural sports, Greek organizations and clubs. I wished I had known just how many of them I was eligible for and how to join them. It would have been cool to have been more involved.
