So happy I went to UWO.
Overall 4.8
While it doesn't have the greatest reputation, for whatever reason, this is a great school. The professors are great; they truly care about you and will help you succeed. The athletic and recreational facilities are about as good as you can get for d3. There are tons of social opportunities as well. Overall, this is a terrific college!

i love oshkosh
Overall 4.5
I love UW Oshkosh! Everyone I know is so nice and genuine. There are a ton of ways to become involved and meet people. The professors are dedicated to seeing their students succeed. There are plenty of ways to network too. To get across campus, it's about a 10-minute walk, which is not terrible. The food is not terrible, but it can get repetitive
Overall 4.5
This is a school that specifically allows you to be whomever you wish to be. You are the top priority in choosing who you want to become, and this school allows you to accomplish any goals that you may come across. #WELOVEUWOSHKOSH

Oshkosh exceeded my expectations. The faculty and administration are very supportive of their students and you can tell the school stands by its mission.
Overall 4.3
I have been impressed with everything throughout my schooling here. My professors are very encouraging about attending office hours. There are SOO many clubs to join, lots of study abroad opportunities, and various events throughout campus. The sports teams are so fun to watch. Football, basketball, and gymnastics are incredible!

The whole place is one big trap.
Overall 1
This school does not tell you the truth! Professors/administration indirectly tell you the things needed to graduate/don't want to lay out all the facts in a convenient way, but rather make it tougher for you to get by. More road blocks each year I have been here, wow! Their hidden fees take money away from you faster than you can make it.
Overall 1
There are many dead-zones here on campus with little to no activity/a very sporadic place for any enjoyment. Pollution trash/ potholes fill the streets especially on all the roads connecting to campus. Much of the student body still has not yet matured in 4+ years, as a result, many pretend friend groups walk on egg shells. 0/5 rating for me

This place is a joke. Go ANYWHERE else.

Overall 1.5
They never shovel snow or salt. The food sucks. There are rude professor and people.
Overall 1.6
I knew this wasn't a great school going in; I couldn't afford better. The location is okay, only because it is near Satori Imports. The food at the commons gave me food poisoning, not kidding. I hardcore battle to connect to the internet at least 8 times a day (seriously 8 times). The cars go really fast on campus; the roads aren't easy to cross.
Overall 1.7
There are many showoffs/people trying to make a name for themselves here. This university does not want you to be overly successful in many of their programs. If they see you doing better than average they will try to bring your mood/overall grade in the class down too many people here compare themselves to others still having high school mentality
