UW-Whitewater is the best University in America. As long as you go into Freshman year with a good attitude and seek out opportunities you will thrive. I am a senior and I met all of my best friends here my freshman year. I highly recommend staying on the weekends and socializing, that's how you make friends. Great bars once you're 21. UWW for life

As a science major there are so many cool research opportunities that you wouldn't normally get at a big school and lots of clubs that give you even more opportunities. Just walking around campus you will literally be handed opportunities and everyone is really nice and willing to help you with whatever. It's truly an underrated university

I love the food, but not all place accepts meal swipes. There are dining dollars, but you have a limit on how much you have. And it's an issue trying to add more. On top of that, dining hall food is okay. The WI-FI is okay, but you can't access certain websites. Great location and a beautiful campus.

Don't apply to this campus. They screwed up my transfer. I ended up having to pay extra, stay an extra year, and take extra classes I didn't need. Had a problem with a professor and my advisor was no help, all she said was to go see someone else. No communication regarding what needs to be done schedule wise, and holds they don't inform you about.
Overall 1
the location is not suited for some students that live in the other residence halls. The food isn't that well prepared and cared for and there aren't really that many options to choose from anyways. The internet disconnects once in a while for on average 2 hours which is just not acceptable when students are trying to complete a homework or quiz.

A complete joke of a school.
Overall 1.1
Awful place. Guidance counselors do not care about the students. Some are teachers and advise you to take the classes they are teaching even though it may be useless for you to take. School closes down one of the dining halls for no reason. I felt not appreciated when I asked for assistance with any professor.

Not the greatest
