Beautiful growing area that is extremely diverse. A great place to raise a family. There is great shopping, downtown is amazing and there are tons of parks!
Oswego has a welcoming environment that I enjoy very much. Current students can easily make friends and build long-lasting friendships. However, Oswego is mostly cornfields and there is not much one can do around the town. I find myself visiting places like Target and Walmart a lot just to fool around and release boredom with my friends. I do like Downtown Oswego it has cute little shops and the local Oswego Public Library which recently went through renovations and is quite modern now. Oswego has a variety of places to dine in or take out food; the famous Portillo's and Giordano's is found in my small town and has impeccable taste.
I've moved to Oswego when I was five years old and have had a positive experience ever since! Everyone here is very nice and caring. From going to the schools, I've met so many of my close friends. Plus, it helped introduce me to different ethnicities, religions, and races. Overall, Oswego is a great town!
