This was an awesome school. I got my associates degree here and with the right advisor it was made really easy. I was able to test out a few different classes to see what I wanted to as a career. I was on the dance team, in a couple of plays which I even got credits for, also in film club for credit too. If only It was a four year I wouldnt leave

It held up to my standards for a 2-year school. It's obviously a lot smaller scale than a 4-year university but was a good experience. Cafeteria food is kind of expensive but really good and worth it.

Great school to experience college for the first two years! Got to know some of my professors really well and credit them for inspiring me in big ways, especially environmentally! Really good school to start! Got to experience a bit of everything!

UW-Fox is definitely a great place to go if you are looking to get some gen eds done at a lower cost. It is a few minutes off of the highway, so it's a good location. It's small so class sizes are lower and classes are easier to find. I don't regret coming here for my first two years at all.

Very small, most clubs aren't worth joining, cafeteria is very limited and slow, many teachers act like their class is your whole world by making you read before every class. Accelerated classes are nice, especially philosophy is worth taking.

Horrible course choices and terrible student life, I would not reccomend to anyone unless you absolutely need a cheap school

This school isnt taken very seriously, but its a really tough school. Some professors are good and some are horrible.
