I'm finishing up my degree here, and I have nothing but positive things to say about UWL. The location is a happy medium between city and country. The education and facilities are great and steadily improving. Class sizes are small, so you always have access to your professors. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved in your interests.

Great School.

Great campus. Tons of clubs to join, fun events every week. Very easy to make new friends and socialize when attending on campus things. The food is good, they are one of the fews schools to offer pre-made allergy friendly meals. Internet is good, it rarely crashes and when it does its fixed within a couple hours.

Lax is a nice medium-sized campus with lots to do on campus and in the city. Most professors are excellent. Lots of different places on campus to sit and do homework or just hangout. Despite our party school reputation, dorms are usually pretty quiet, even on weekends. Off campus might be loud, it really just depends on your neighbors.

Couldn't be happier with attending this school. There are so many clubs and ways to meet people that you never find a dull moment on campus. Off campus there is tons to do. The entire city including on campus is beautiful and you never want to leave.

Beautiful campus. The most amazing people you'll ever meet in your life. Strong community. Amazing outdoor connection program-opportunities to hike, kayak, backpack, travel, etc. Has something for everyone outdoors and downtown area are incredible.

UW-La Crosse is a great school, and an even better place to live! Awesome education, good professors, unique experiences & opportunities, environmentally gorgeous city, and lots of cool people. The food in Whitney sucks though.

It is a very small school, not much to do if you're under 21. The food is not good. The dorms are alright.
