At first glance, looking at how small this school is many people might believe that there will be little to do and little opportunities, but I say that this provides the exact opposite. Because Superior is a small school, you are approached with many opportunities for experience, careers, and making relationships with fellow students and professors

Professors don’t teach. They give you a book, YouTube videos, assignments, and basically tell you to figure it out on your own.

It's alright here, not much to do around here.

There are some good things about this school. But the problem lies in its size, there is nothing ever going on and administrators are totally out of touch with what the average student wants out of college. This leads to a low number of people who stay after coming in as freshman.

Worst campus experience ever! I attended this campus for a semester and disliked how I felt like I was right back in high school dealing with judgmental cliques. Everyone knows each other so if you're coming from some where else be prepared to be a loner. I transferred to UW-Platteville and haven't regretted the decision one bit.

The campus is pretty run-down but they are attempting to fix it up a bit. Theres really not much to do at UWS. There are a lot of international students, which makes the college unique and interesting. The professors are also pretty nice and helpful
