The campus is a bit secluded from the rest of GB, but really everything you could ever need is here! Surrounded by all sorts of trees, it's a nature lover's dream! All of the professors I've had have been amazing, accessible, fair and good lecturers. There are all sorts of clubs to get involved in and all kinds of free school activities!!

Like any college, your experience at UWGB is truly what you make of it. If you put in effort to get involved, you will have an amazing time here, like myself. Academics, professors, and clubs are the highlights of this university. Private bathrooms in the dorms are also a bonus. All around, beautiful campus and loads of opportunity.

GB is a home away from home for me. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved and find your niche. I recommend greek life or an honor society. Expansion has been great the past year. Food is pretty good. Housing is awesome, private bathrooms. Short walks to class. Picturesque nature surrounds you. Great workout facility.

Freshman dorms have their own private bathroom. All of the buildings are very nice and about 75% of the staff are students! Beautiful and secluded campus. I have never felt unsafe on this campus.

When I first started at UW- Green Bay I was skeptical of the campus but quickly learned of all of the great student orgs, international travel options, and campus events UWGB has to offer. The location offers peace and safety to the campus. The campus is especially pretty in the fall. UWGB has continuously renovating buildings and is on the rise.

Now a senior looking back at my freshman year, I grew so much during my time at UWGB. This school is highly underrated and an excellent campus that stands up-to-par with other UW schools, such as UW-Madison. There is not much of a party scene, but that is not important if you're looking to focus on academics. Love this school!!
Overall 4.4
UWGB has a lot of opportunities to help one excel academically. They pride themselves in connecting students to they community. The school is secluded and not a party school however offers many other opportunities to have fun. It's a bummer that there is no football team however there are many other sporting events to attend. UWGB is on the rise!

If you are looking to make friends and be social, do not come here. This school is a wasteland on the weekends. The first couple weeks on campus are fun and full of events, but they quickly happen less and become more lame. Side walks and parking lot is slippery... safety?! Also a couple of deaths on campus before first semester is even over?
