    Kinda borin, some hot people, some mid..., food okay, my tour guide was a red head....jk i love…read moregingers but anyways my tour guide was weird.. uni of platteville has little to now diversity, and is just kinda plain, MIT is way cooler BUTTT UNI OF PLATTEVILLE HAS ICE CREAM AN MACHINE SOOO ITS FUNNER TO SOME PEOPLE BUT TO ME IT WAS OKAY

    So every student has a lil' pride for their Alma Mater and I am no different in this particular…read morecase. UWP is one of 13 (give or take a few) UW schools located in Wisconsin. Located in Southwest Wisconsin this campus has its strengths and draw backs as does every college and campus. The best part for me was that it was a great college to get in, get your degree, and get the h-izzz-eck out. Other highlights for me included: the ratio of more males to females on campus (due to the school of Engineering), the replacement of older buildings on campus (Farwell Boeble Hall), very affordable (especially if you can encounter in-state tuition fees), small classes, a generally really nice and helpful student body (something typical of the Midwest), and 2nd street - a street located off of Main St that has a decent number of college bars. Some dislikes are as follows: Not much diversity on campus (everyone looks like they walked out of a Sears catalog for the most part), since the mid 90's ( Men's Basketball - Bo Ryan era) they really haven't had much to brag about regarding athletics, and UWP is located in a small community that lacks things other than drinking to occupy free time. I commuted to school everyday - so another gripe I have is that it is common knowledge amongst students that they will never have a "snow day" / cancel school on campus due to weather because they last time they did the city sold out of kegs and several student were jumping off of high balconies into snow piles and broke limbs and whatnot. Over all UWP was good to me and I enjoyed my college experience!

    A great university for a solid education and plenty of stuff to do…read more I went to UW-LAX for my undergraduate degree, and it was a really great four years of my life. The education was top notch and enjoyable. There's plenty of nightlife on 3rd street (if you're into that). Midnight donut runs to Mr. D's are a tradition. If you want, you can take a road trip over a weekend to the Mall of America for some shopping or to Madison for some some great parties. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a good public university in Wisconsin.

    Alright, to be honest, I don't have any other university to compare my experience to, but man…read morepeople, I loved my time at UWL! Beautiful campus with tons of green space and gorgeous buildings and facilities makes UWL extremely inviting and livable, especially when compared to other UW campuses. As with any university, you get what you put into your time as a college student. There are so many clubs and groups to join that you've really got no excuse to be a loner or a shut-in. Top notch academic programs and wonderful professors. I guess UWL has some good sports programs as well, but I went to school for school, not the sports. UWL is a wonderful option for higher education, located in a gorgeous, fun city. Although you generally have to wait a bit to enjoy 3rd Street. :) Yep, I still love my alma mater!
