Elite prestigious liberal arts college, one of the best in the Midwest. I'm reviewing the campus…read moreas a tourist destination rather than as a place to send your kid to college but if your child can get in as a professor I think you can't do better than a good liberal arts college. Even the best of the great research universities (except the University of Chicago) have distracting party scenes that just aren't as big a temptation at places like this. Anyway, also like other liberal arts colleges, this one is picturesque with a healthy schedule of cultural events. Strong programs in music and arts, humanities result in lots of very good very affordable (often free) concerts and exhibits. The campus is lovely, though being a professor I prefer it during semester breaks when it's not covered in college students. Great college library. Appleton is an economically depressed de-industrialized town with an island of high culture that is this college (yes technically a university, but it's more of a liberal arts college). A unique boutique hotel in an historic restored building and a couple of good restaurants all in walking distance makes this a fun affordable two day destination.

A week before summer semester I got a job offer and attempted to withdraw, however they have a…read morepolicy where you cannot fully withdraw without speaking to someone. I left several voicemail and sent emails to several different offices and only my advisor wrote me back. I was recently hit with the 'outstanding' tuition from the semester I never attended which is now in state collections. Their reasoning was literally that it was my fault I wasn't persistent enough after they failed to do their part on so many levels. Between this and two of my teachers being rude, barely qualified and constantly working against you; I am convinced this institution has policies in place to actively detract progress and create difficulties for students trying to exit their money machine. I would never, ever recommend this institution when there are so many other fine options in the UW system that work with and for the students they host, rather than punish them for succeeding and trying to squeeze out every dime.

I can confidently say that this place is a wonderful place in every sense. The quality of education…read moreis outstanding. Professors genuinely care about their students and consistently go above and beyond. Small class sizes meant real engagement, thoughtful discussion, and mentorship that extended well beyond graduation. Student life is one of SNC's biggest strengths. Whether it was joining organizations, attending campus events, or just hanging out along the Fox River, there was always something happening and always a community to plug into. It's the kind of campus where you actually feel like you belong. Athletics also play a huge role in campus culture. Whether you're an athlete or a fan, the energy around games and events brings the college together in a really special way. The school spirit is real. One of the things I valued most was how connected the college is to the surrounding community. From service opportunities to partnerships with local organizations, SNC encourages students to get involved and make an impact. It made the Greater Green Bay Area feel like a true second home. And affordability. St. Norbert offers helpful financial aid and scholarship opportunities. The support I received made the college not only accessible, but a smart investment in my future. They meet students where they are, which is something not every school can claim. Go Green Knights!

Class of 2006 I was…read moreenrolled here from 2001-2006 in the Criminal Justice program. I didn't feel like the courses were very challenging and I certainly didn't feel like I was pushed to reach my potential. I obviously cannot speak for everyone across all majors, but my experience was that it was a joke of an institution. Because this is a smaller school, there is no campus life, there are few clubs and few options to build your resume. I was expecting a challenge and I was expecting them to help prepare me for a career in law enforcement. I remember going to the writing lab to have them look at my resume, and they didn't know how to fill one out. I remember asking my advisors about applying for jobs and interview prep courses or seminars and they just got confused. It became apparent to me that the place was barely functioning as it was. That being said, I did have good experiences and did take some very interesting classes, some of which included Native American Literature, Psychology of Women, and Religious Imagination. Even though I had this shiny new degree, was a military veteran as military police, and had completed an internship with a local police department, I was never hired as a cop. I instead went back to school at a local technical college and got hired immediately upon graduation, and saved $75,000 in the process. Would I recommend Marian based on my experience - No, I would not.

Having attended UWSP for two years, I think it is one of the better institutions in the UW system…read more Also, at the time of this review, it is also the cheapest UW school in terms of tuition and housing costs, which is pretty awesome. The campus is pretty condensed (nothing wrong with that, you can walk from one end to the other in under a half hour) and located in the heart of central Wisconsin; this is bad if you're not capable of entertaining yourself, since there's not all that much around off-campus except for some local specialty shops and restaurants. Still, there's usually lots going on around campus at any given hour, such as free concerts, art shows, movie screenings, guest lectures, sports and other outdoor recreational activities, and of course the crazy stuff that goes on in the student dorms. The campus is pretty picturesque during the summertime and into the fall, with lots of flowers in bloom and plenty of open, green spaces. The campus buildings are eyesores for the most part, with a brutalist-esque architectural motif that probably came to fruition during wartime. Still, the university makes an effort to "update" at least one building a year, with the student union and fine arts building both receiving huge, expensive overhauls in the past decade (it's worth it; these are two of the nicest buildings on campus at the moment). The dorm housing is on-par with pretty much every other UW school; it's not posh, but charming and accommodating. Since every hall is only four stories high, the atmosphere in the dorms is more intimate than what you would find in the skyscrapers on Madison or Milwaukee's campuses. UWSP Residential Living has been doing construction on one campus dorm hall every summer to update them with room A/Cs, finished walling, and better lighting, so the standard-of-living will progressively get better for all on-campus students as time goes on... The student population was pretty agreeable when I went to UWSP; most students are nice and down-to-earth, and there aren't that many frat-esque "bros" walking around (UWSP has a noticeable lack of a greek community on campus, and that's probably a good thing). You will, however, find a lot of Wisconsin hunters (mostly in the College of Natural Resources, naturally) who wear orange blaze to class and perpetually chew smokeless tobacco. I've often heard that a lot of professors cancel classes the week that hunting season begins; I'm sure it's true, but I never had any classes where that happened. Most people that go here aren't crazy wealthy or anything, and those who are hide it. The exception is the foreign exchange students; you will know who they are when you see them driving their BMWs down Reserve Street. The diversity (I really hate that term, it's overused but succinct I guess) on campus is mostly limited to white students and Asian students...Like I said, this is central Wisconsin. The campus has a sizable Hmong population made up of students from Wausau and Minnesota. All of the professors I had at Stevens Point were really nice and approachable. The "ivory tower" attitude does not apply here. Most professors are busy with their own research, but they all enjoy teaching classes and interacting with students, be that in office hours or through other on-campus activities. The "strongest" academic programs at UWSP are natural resources (for which an entire sub-college and building are devoted), the fine arts (art and music), and communications (the campus radio station and TV station both offer good hands-on experience for this program), though the school offers a lot of other liberal arts programs, such as English, philosophy, political science, geography, economics, etc. If you're looking for the small-town college feel and professors who actually know your name and care about your success, check out UWSP.

not a good school. rundown facilities and incompetent staff. Paying way too much for incompetent…read moreprofessors who roll in late, mumble through class, and basically teach nothing useful. There's zero real education happening--just a bunch of confusing mess that leaves you totally unprepared. Advising sucks, registration crashes all the time, and the school blows cash on a stupid football stadium instead of actually helping students. Skip this place. It's a debt nightmare with no real learning, and I regret every day I spent here.
