- And I add…why not go to UW-Marinette?!?!
One of the reasons I opted to come to the University of Wisconsin Marinette is because when I looked at the Professors degrees I noted that they were from prestigious schools. Some of these schools were the University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, and Purdue.
UW-Marinette is close and convenient and very inexpensive compared to larger schools. More importantly, you can get to know any one of your teachers on a personal level. The faculty to student ratio and the small class sizes are wonderful! They really make it so much easier to learn.
My reasons for attending UW-Marinette are: #1 (most important) I can take classes and still keep my job. #2 classes are a little less expensive #3 there are some very top notch instructors (that know their students personally and the students are not just a number).
It is the (or one of the) least expensive schools in the UW system...which hey...the less money the better! (plus you get a lot more bang for your buck!)
- small class sizes so you're actually able to talk with your professors, and they will help you.
- I love the scenery...right on the bay...amidst many trees and wildlife.
- there's always something going on.
- I love the diversity of students. We have the highest percentage of international students in the UW system.
- It's nice to get your general ed. classes out of the way right way instead of waiting for everyone ahead of you to finish theirs, especially if you haven't picked a major yet.
- It's affordable
- More student professor and student to student interaction on and off campus.
- The lunch hour is nice because no one has class at that time and its a great time to meet new people.
- The location is great
- The facilities on campus such as the library, computer labs, math labs, writing labs, tutors are all accessible and easy to use at your convenience.

- Close to home
- UW system has great resources by having so many campuses
- price
- small class sizes make me feel welcome
- Large selection of class subjects available
- ease of registration/ helpful advisors
- I love the small size of this school! You don't have to sit in a lecture with 300 students where all you are is a number to the professor. I also think because of the small size, you can get to know people better, and it's not a threatening environment.
- You can get to know your professors. They're so open and willing to help you out with pretty much anything. They encourage you to visit their office anytime during office hours.
- The professors are GREAT! :o)
- You can save money! I think this is a huge plus for anybody! This campus is a great start to a four year college, you can still live at home and not have to worry about paying housing fees and meal fees, and the tuition in general is much lower that most other colleges.
- I think it's a good place to help figure out what to major in if you're not sure yet. The first two years of college are mostly general classes, but by taking these classes you are able to decide what areas you enjoy and those you don't. It's nice that you don't have to declare a major right away!
- Being an international student, the small campus it helped me much to integrate myself into the American life, and get over the Cultural Shock.
