Rating 3.78 out of 5 482 reviews
Overall 5/5,
Pros: It's a small campus in Tosa. It's a safe and intimate setting; most classes only have 30 people or less. Labs only have about 15 or fewer people.
The campus is small, but not crowded. (across campus in less than 10 min) I love that the professors are available nearly 24/7, along with TAs (Tutors). This campus also encourages you to build professional relationships not only with your professors but also with peers.
Activities are posted daily throughout campus. Housing is 6/5! Freshman and Sophomore housing are usually 2 people for 1 bathroom. (PLENTY of room for housing.)
Cons: Due to the placement in Wauwatosa, you can't do much without a car. Having a car is HIGHLY encouraged. Milwaukee is exciting! Take advantage of the culture nearby.
The food is also a 4/5, there isn't much diversity, and it doesn't cater well to those with food allergies/ diseases (like Crohn's).
The Party scene is nonexistent on campus, but Marquette, UWM, and MSOE are close by.

Amazing Christian education! The professors want to build a positive relationship with each student, and most of them truly care about their student's well-being. The campus is beautiful and well-maintained by a contracted company. You get what you pay for with housing and education. Wisconsin Lutheran College is expensive, but they give out need-based financial aid. It is worth every penny to me. There is also a rich community feeling; even if you don't know somebody, most people will smile when they pass in the halls. There is minimal to no class division. It is extremely common and encouraged to have a variety of friends from different class years. It is so fantastic! There are party rooms, but it is not a large party school, which I appreciate. There are always things to do! Since it is a school, it is hard, and academics are stressed. Even with that, there are plenty of opportunities to receive help. I cannot say enough good things about the faculty, staff, and students!
Wisconsin Lutheran college is a phenomenal educational institution. Its small size allows professors to give personalized instruction, tailoring every lesson to the needs of the class. The education program here is stellar, with 99% of the education majors receiving jobs right out of college. Campus life is on the quieter side, but there is still plenty to do every day of the week. Most of it comes with free food!
