"UW Oshkosh has a feeling of belonging."

You can be an active part of as many organizations as you want, both on campus and within the greater Oshkosh community. You see people you know everywhere, and there's always someone smiling or saying hello. It just feels like home here; it's a comforting place to be.

"I love that UW Oshkosh has many sustainability initiatives."

I feel like I can take what I've learned through the environmental studies program and teach it to other people to help improve the way we live.

"I get a well-rounded education at UW Oshkosh."

There is a good blend of classroom conversation and projects, hands-on research, internships and study abroad opportunities. What makes it even better is that I know my professors' names, and I have smaller classes. We all know each other so asking questions and getting involved isn't intimidating.

"I like to be involved."

I feel that all of my experiences in groups on and off campus have helped make me a more mature and respectable person."
