We were just in town for 10 days visiting and discovered the library on a rainy day upon recommendation of a local resident and it couldn't have been more perfect. To my surprise, my children kept asking to go back to the library...even on the sunny days!

For me, that was a roomy table next to a pretty window, and this library definitely delivered. Probably one of my favorite libraries, shame I live so far, otherwise I'd be a regular. Oh and since the study tables are quite far from the main entrance and the check out, it was pretty quiet. Also, they have dollar coffee at check out, and a bunch of brochures on things like financial planning, so I picked a few up, because who couldn't use a bit more info on mutual funds?

The children's section is well stocked with books, blocks, trains, a toy kitchen, etc. There is also an easy to access bathroom in the children's area. My son LOVED paging through the collection of Dora books while my youngest played with the toys. I was very impressed with this place and plan to stop by again.

You get a ton of historical background, a few rooms with exhibits, a huge telescope, an old library, and information on people such as Edwin Hubble and Carl Sagan!

The annual Walworth County Fair (120+ years and runnin' strong!) multiple townie bars, and you're a 45 minute drive to Milwaukee, 60 minutes to Madison, and just 90 minutes from the hustle and bustle of another great city- Chicago! The town features ample places to zone for business and residential developments, great schools, good sense of community, and the crime-rate is pretty low. All in all, it's a good place to be, great to raise a family (like so many of my hs friends) here and more importantly, great to come home to.

I was enrolled in the BSW program for my junior year from 2021-2022. I commuted and did not live on…read morecampus. I am transferring to a new college. The best part of this college is the professors; they genuinely cared about my wellbeing and success. They are good people with good hearts. Unfortunately, at least half of my professors seemed unprepared to teach (meanwhile the other half were truly amazing with a wealth of information). Despite having career credentials, it didn't always translate to academic expertise. Some professors seemed like they were just reading the books along with me and it was their first time teaching. Overall, the BSW program lacked academic vigor and overly focused on soft-skills. It was easy to get A's without learning much. I'm frankly worried about some of the students that will end up as social workers. The campus/student body is very small. The grounds are well maintained and pretty, but with so few buildings it feels constrictive. Leaving campus doesn't offer escape as the surrounding area is very rural without much social activity. There is virtually no social-scene at GWC. Students are overall friendly (I met some great people), but with so few students it feels limited. The worst part of GWC is the non-academic/student life administration. I was heavily involved in clubs and student council until I realized the admin were not on my side. They do not listen to or advocate for students. They are extremely concerned with image and protect it at all costs. Concerns raised by students get covered up, ignored, or worse. For voicing my concerns with admin about them being overly controlling with student clubs (having to approve every pin, t-shirt, flyer, participant, ect.), I was challenged to step down from leadership. I requested to meet with admin on three occasions to reach a resolution and was ignored every time. Another student who tried to voice an concern about a food staff member making inappropriate comments was told to stop bringing it up and "it isn't your place", despite being on the student council. I do not recommend GWC. Many students don't want to be there and only stay for the good financial aid. It wasn't a terrible experience, but there wasn't much to make me want to stay.

They have a beautiful woodsy setting and an absolutely GORGEOUS lakeside beach and dock. We spent days swimming in the lake and lounging on the dock and evenings rehearsing in the gorgeous Ferro Pavillion (bring bug spray!). It seems in the summer the college plays host to lots of groups....SOAR, Nike Gold Camps, etc. For treats the campus dinning hall is okay, but the College Inn boasts snacks and hand scooped ice cream (yum!). During the day you can lounge lake side or in the green Adirondack chairs at the Administration Building and catch up on a good book. At night you can light a fire in one of the fire pits and toast marshmallows. Concerts in the Ferro Pavilion are just beautiful and romantic as well. A definite stop if you're in the area or looking for a unique summer experience.
