What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
My college experience has shaped me into the person I am today. The opportunities, experiences, and challenges have helped me to discover my passions, and decide what I would like to do with my future. I have been given many hands on experiences within my program that have allowed me to test the waters and discover which specific area of study I would like to pursue.
I believe that college is valuable to attend, because it gives an opportunity to broaden your horizons of knowledge, learn about a variety of people and places, and it will help you succeed in your career. Employers are not only looking for an educated individual to fill their positions, but if you receive an education you are more likely to advance within your business and capture a stable and happy future.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The one thing that frustrates me the most about Winona State is that sometimes it seems like the school seems to care more about college appearance than education. Right now they are building new dorms to replace the old ones that still work fine. They are spending money where it should not be spent rather than hiring more professors to help with the growing student population.

Here's your chance: Say anything about your college!
The scenery mostly. Also, students at Winona seem to be very laid back and friendly towards each other. They dress very casually and are outgoing and all-around nice people. Campus is centrally located and the town surronding is close to Wisconsin so that makes it very convenient to those who wish to go home easily. The town is also very historical with its buildings--the homes and downtown facilities are very beautiful and older.

What is your overall opinion of this school?
This school is amazing. There are a lot of things that I love about this school. The first thing I like about this school is the size. It isn't very big which is nice so it isn't overwhelming. I also like the town of Winona. It is very pretty with the bluffs all around us, and it is super pretty with the huge lakes right next to campus. I love the "college town" atmosphere. Winona has sport teams that are very good. It isn't a D1 school but the games are still fun to go too!

What's unique about your campus?
The best thing about my school I think is the opportunites it allows the students to get involved in, having it be studying abroad, joining a club or interning at the place of your choosing. There are so many ways to put your foot in the door of something new and exciting. Definitely all the places you can go to that will help you with your major is the best thing about my school.

Why did you decide to go to this school?
I choose Winona State University because I wanted to go farther away from home. I am 4 hours away from home, which is the perfect distance; I can go home if I want, but I'm not tempted to go home every weekend.
Another reason I choose this University is because it had a very good Athletic Training program. Coming out of high school i thought that i wanted to be an Athletic Trainer, but after taking the Intro to Athletic Training class I found out that it just wasn't for me. I an fortunate that Winona had a variety of Health majors that interested me so I didn't have to transfer to major in the field I wanted.

What are the academics like at your school?
Class sizes at Winona are just right. English and speech classes and smaller classes have around 20-30 students in them. Lecture halls have only 150 students in them. It is the perfect size. Your professors know your name if you go into their office hours and get to know them. My favorite class is Anatomy and Physiology. It is a very hard class but it is very rewarding to understand all about your own body. The nursing program here is very competitive so you always want to make sure you are trying your hardest and doing your best! Class participation is very common because everyone is here for the same reason. We all pay to go to class so we all want the most out of our education.
