UWS has a small community feel to it. Its a great place to go to feel welcome and secure! There are small class sizes and the teachers really connect with you!

Visit the campus! No matter what school you want to go to always go and size it up first. It might not be what your looking for, and always keep your options open!

The class sizes are small so you get the individual time you need from your teachers, but just because it's a smaller campus doesn't mean that the work load is smaller. The teachers at UWS challenge you and push you to work hard!

Living in the dorms is the best way to meet new people. At UWS every resident hall has floor or building activities about once a month. Last year two resident halls worked together to pull off an amazing end of the year party!

The food at UWS is mind blowing! It isn't your average cafeteria food. The cooks go the extra mile to make sure the menu is always changing. I have to say my favorite is the sushi!

There are always things going on around campus. There are tons of different clubs and groups to get involved in and sometimes the clubs do things for the rest of the student body! At UW-Superior we have a Barbecue club that cooks out in the middle of campus and gives out free food! There are movie nights,grocery bingo, bible studies, and even open mic nights where any one can get up and show off a talent!

Tuition every where is outrageous. It's hard finding a school that is worth the huge amounts that you're paying, but I would say UWS is one of the few. You get the one on one time you need with your teachers and an over all quality education for an average price.

It's basically hit or miss at Superior. We have a lot of talented teachers, but we also have a lot of new teachers who are still learning their own style. So far, in my experience, I'd say we have great professors in the Music, Business, Computer Science, Math, and English departments.

I won't lie, a lot of students go home, go hunting, or go out partying on the weekends. However, there are students who don't. Either way, there are all sorts of students here and lots of student organizations. Having Lake Superior and Duluth so close doesn't hurt!

We also have GREAT study abroad programs for being a small school. I recently studied in Scotland for 100 days and the cost for the program was way cheaper than what my friends at bigger schools have to pay for similar programs. Plus, I got to live in a castle and meet amazing professors (both Scottish and American)! Check it out.

This school is super cheap considering that everything is under construction or brand new! The new buildings are really amazing. The dorms are pretty nice compared to other UW schools. We'll have a new dorm in a couple years! If you're considering UMD, just know that UW Superior has much better food than UMD and it's smaller, so it's easy to get help when you need it. Also, you can take classes at UMD or St Scholastica while staying enrolled at UWS!

It's pretty easy to get in here. And everything is pretty well explained during the orientations. My advice would be to get involved in things and meet a lot of people. The school gets small fast! ;)

Anyone and everyone goes here. I was surprised how many non-traditional students go here when I first came. Now, though, I love them! They bring a new perspective into classes and I've had some great conversations with them that I wouldn't have had with a 'typical' college student.

UW-Superior was the best fit for me. I made great friends, studied abroad, was on the soccer team, a member of the choir and leader of an organization. I was able to do everything here.

- Choose the college you can see yourself at (this will be your home for at least the next four years)
- Get involved on-campus. A lot of the time people transfer because they don't put themselves out there and try new things. In order to enjoy college, you have to step outside your bubble and experience it.
- Beware of the party scene (especially you freshmen)
- Procrastination is inevitable, but be prepared for the consequences.
- Take responsibility for your own future. Don't wait for your parents or someone else to figure things out for you. Just step up and do it.

Your professors the first few years in college will pile a lot of homework and busy work on you. The higher you get into your major the more concentrated your studies become. Have fun with those random gen eds because once they are done, you're going to wish you had them back.

Dorm life is great! You get to meet a ton of new people and always know what's going on (especially on the weekends). Remember to keep an open door policy the first few weeks of school, so you are able to meet people.

The food is great. Nice variety and decent hours of operation.

More like what isn't there to do for fun? If you go out and experience new things, you will never run out of things to do. Join Outdoor Adventures and kayak Lake Superior at midnight or go cavediving at the Apostle Islands. Get into music, and join the choir like I did. You have never met professors so passionate about what they do than in the Holden Fine Arts Building. Try out for a sports team. I came here for soccer and have had the best experience ever! Go out and explore campus as well as the Twin Ports area; there is sooooo much for you to do, try and see!

Great cost for tuition. Lowest in the Twin Ports area (way lower than St. Scholastica and UMD) and even in the UW System (just compare Madison to UW-Superior and you'll see what I mean.

YU is a great hang out spot, especially at lunch and dinner. Dorms are where you relax.

UW-Superior is great for all types of students from high school graduates to transfers. They make you feel at home here.

Lots of variety. During my time at UW-Superior, I was on numberous intramural teams including dodgeball, volleyball, basketball, soccer, flag football, IM Olympics and broomball.
I was a member and President of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee where I got to work with other athletic team leaders on fundraising and evnets.
I was a choir member and participated in numerous choir concerts.

The Campus Safety on campus are a great group of people. They take the time to get to know you.

University has a smaller student enrollment then most schools which helps making friends and knowing your professors easier. In small classroom sizes, questions get answered by teachers instantly. There are also plenty of programs to get involved in, to help in meeting people.

Get involved as much as you possibly can. It looks good on resumes and you also develop great social skills which will benefit you in the future.

The teachers at UW-Superior are super helpful in answering questions you may have.

There are Floor programs every month in the dorms where your RA will plan some kind of fun activity to get everyone on the floor familiar with each other and to create a fun atmosphere in your living space.

The cafeteria is pretty new, and has a lot of different options for anyones taste.

I am an athlete at the school, and enjoy every minute of competing. I spend a lot of time in the Wellness Center getting in shape.

There are a lot of new buildings at the school and more activities being developed each year.

Even though we do not have a football team, there still is a homecoming week where each day of the week you dress up according what was picked.

Anyone who likes a smaller school or one on one time with teachers belongs here. People who are fond of outdoor activities should also be here with the Big Lake right by us and a wonderful outdoor program there's a lot to explore.

There's a club or activity to satisfy almost anyones hobbies. If there isn't you can create your own club and get the campus involved in what you have to share.

I had a friend in Greek Life who seemed to enjoy it but I don't here too much about it.

Campus security is always there to help.

High quality educational experience, wonderful instructors, superior assistance from all staff members

Be open with academic advisors, look into all options for degree choices...Be aware of what you want to do once graduated and that your courses and degree can be used for what you want to do for a job

courses are hard but if you apply yourself and spend the time studying you will be just fine

I live off campus
