I absolutely loved it here. It is rather expensive, but they make it your money's worth here. I felt welcome and involved here. The size is just right to meet new people and also get to know them personally.

This is a very caring environment and the professors are passionate about their teaching. After attending both WLC and a large public university, WLC wins on all accounts, hands down.

Campus is great. The res halls are amazing and updated especially Aspire. Cafe food is meh but after freshman year you have a kitchen in your living space so it's easy to cook for yourself. Internet needs work. Everyone is super nice and welcoming! Very easy to make friends especially with the social events on campus.

Amazing professors, for the most part. Small classes are great. Food needs more variety, but the food itself is of good quality. People are generally cool and very inviting. Very safe campus. This campus is fairly prestigious, they have a large fundraiser every year which had George Bush and Tony Dungy as speakers. Very awesome college.

If you're looking for a campus where professors & fellow students know your name, Wisconsin Lutheran College is for you. Professors genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. There is always at least one event happening on campus, so there's plenty of chances to meet people and try new experiences. All this comes from a faith-centered foundation.

I love the small campus and class sizes. You get really connected with those in your major. It's small size just outside of Milwaukee helps it feel safe and homey but also has countless opportunities if you watch out for them. Food is decent, but repetitive. Lots of social events put on by WEB. Wi-fi spotty in dorms. Definitely will miss it here.

Finally transferred out of here. The academics are easy and boring but some classes were challenging. The social scene is a wreck. It feels like high school all over again. Food is terrible. Opportunities are good if you look for them - WLC is well connected locally, but virtually unknown anywhere else. Location is okay - not dangerous as some say.
Overall 1.8
This school needs a lot of work. The reputation is pretty good, but behind the scenes would prove otherwise. The deans have no power to change issues and tell that to students. The food is atrocious (but better when I first came here which is sad). The area is sketchy. There is a lot of crime on campus and in the area. I wish I had never come here
Overall 2
The school is full of very close minded people
