Lawrence University

4 Year
APPLETON, WI
Rating 3.67 out of 5 701 reviews

Alum: Lawrence was a fantastic experience for me. It has the full liberal arts experience, with great integration and collaboration among different departments (especially the conservatory which offers its own bachelor's degree in music) as well as student organizations and community interactions. Professors are approachable and love interacting with students (all undergrads) and offer tons of flexibility for students to choose or create independent study courses. The campus is beautiful. Students are motivated, engaged, creative, and passionate. I graduated in 2012 and the things I learned at Lawrence - technical skills in linguistics and Arabic and music, social skills and networking, ways to think outside the box and take initiative - have served me very well over the past near-decade!...Read 701 Reviews

University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh

4 Year
OSHKOSH, WI
Rating 3.53 out of 5 1,393 reviews

Niche User: I will be an upcoming Freshman at the University of Oshkosh in the fall of 2021. So far I have only toured the campus, but I am in love with it! My tour guide was phenomenal and told me all about the amazing opportunities they offer to all students. She shared about the 5 hours of free tutoring provided on campus and students who will check over your essays. She even shared a personal story that really stuck with me. She had an essay that was due and was struggling with it so she took it to a student who could help. The student helped her raise her previous grade of C to an A. There are so many academic opportunities and the social life seems amazing. I cannot wait to attend the University this upcoming fall!...Read 1,393 Reviews

Marian University - Wisconsin

4 Year
FOND DU LAC, WI
Rating 3.59 out of 5 263 reviews

Niche User: I love every single thing about Marian! The people are so helpful and kind. The professors are helpful and very knowledgeable. The area of Fondy is incredible and Lake Winnebago is beautiful! I would not have chosen any other school to spend four years of my life! I think the area and the people combined make the school top-notch in itself. Once you add the stellar athletics to the mix, it just pulls everything together and makes Marian above and beyond. Overall, Marian is a wonderful school that allows so many opportunities to their students on campus, in the classroom, and out in the world...Read 263 Reviews
