  2. University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh

    • 4 Year
    • Oshkosh, WI
    • 1,305

    Freshman: The University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh is a very wonderful place to go. The classes are no longer than a 10 minutes walk from the dorms and all the academic halls are rather close to each other. The entire campus is placed basically on two streets making it very easy to navigate. The food is also quite nice. There are two main commons: Blackhawk and Reeve Union. Blackhawk is where you get the basic buffet meals everyday.. and the ice cream. Reeve is where we have places like pizza hut and subway! Reeve is only accessible to to students with special meal plans or titan dollars unless it is the weekend. On the weekends, every meal plan is excepted and every student is a happy camper.

    Sophomore: Marian is a wonderful university to attend. The professors are not lying when they say that they will go above and beyond to help students, they really do!
