Dorm stuff at the end of semester

Hi I had a quick question! Can any students stay on campus in the dorms during summer break or winter break when the semester ends? Or do you have to move all your stuff out again at the end of the semester from the dorms? How do you guys manage that???

For spring break and small breaks, what are the food options for folks staying on campus? Just trying to get a plan together if I have to stay on campus :/

Hello Everyone! I will be a freshman this fall and was wondering if UWW students use Microsoft 365(Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc.) or google apps (Docs, sheets, slides, etc.). Thanks and Happy New Years Eve!

Just a reminder to all UWW students, this reddit is unmoderated

Go ahead, say whatever the fuck you want. The chancellor is a whore. The frats are rapists and the sorority enable it. The clubs don't receive enough funding to get any actual engagement. The students go here because they couldn't get into Madison

No College Scheduler?

Just noticed we aren't able to use the college scheduler for spring classes anymore. Does anybody know what the workaround is? Is the class search and enrollment tool the only option besides trying to schedule a last-minute advising appointment? I usually schedule my own classes since it's easy enough with a college scheduler. Most advising times are taken up until a week after my enrollment date. Anyone else having similar worries?

Pre PA undergrad

I’m about to finish my first year of undergrad at a community college and I have to transfer to a 4 year university in Wisconsin (uw) and I am on a Pre PA track. What are the best uw schools that will get me accepted and prepare me for a PA school? I’m hoping to hear from alumni’s, current PA students in WI or anyone who’s knows of someone in PA school of already a PA. Any advice or questions are welcomed!

Which is the easiest lab science.

I’m decent in math (in 143 right now). Trying to pick a lab science that will be the least amount of work. Chem 100 I am leaning towards, but also want to know about Bio 120, Geo 120 or Geo 210. Asking for experiences!

Any need to know for information for a new student?

Hey y’all, I’m transferring from NC up to Whitewater. I will be living off campus (with my girlfriend) and majoring in computer science.

Is there anything big I need to know? I don’t have SOAR until January lol but I wanted to ask here for anything that might not be included there or just any info that people seem important.

Best dorms for an incoming freshman

Hello Everyone!

I am currently completing my housing contract as an incoming freshman. I was wondering what the best dorms to live in are. I have heard that Wells is really loud and basically a 24/7 party? Is this true? I want to live in a building that isn't completely silent but one that is quiet enough. What are your recommendations?

This new meal equivalency plan is ridiculous.

This new meal equivalency plan is ridiculous. The meal swipes only fully cover Esker, Drumlin, and breakfast in the commons. Any other place on campus, they are equivalent to 7.50. So great only the places where students are known to get food poisoning. You can't even fully pay for a plain burger, fries, and soda at the Dub with that. For the freshmen this year, you could previously use meal swipes after 2p.m. to cover a full meal at other locations on campus. Furthermore, I asked for clarification on how they functioned and I was told that you can't use two meal swipes at the same location during one period. I know there is inflation but this just crazy 😂.

Hello, me and my roommate are incoming freshmen but we are struggling to find things to do on and off campus. we don’t really want to go to every activity they have planned for students, but rather something entertaining with other people. we’re both willing to drive more than 30 minutes to get to somewhere so need it. please help us!

Going to be 39 fall 25 when/if I enter will it feel out of place?

Depending on my job situation it’s looking like I will go to Whitewater for my Bs in cs. I was primarily online at Madison college but had to take a math class college algebra to get on the math track for cs. I realized what feeling out of place means this week doing the in person class. A student who seemed pretty cool at first asked my age the other day out of the blue and I felt put on the spot. Yeh I’m a 38 year old dude but I don’t feel that I have to explain to people why I’m here. He didn’t ask why and said oh that’s cool man. But the feeling of being an outsider sucked momentarily. I’m not there to make friends just to save money/time on math class for uw whitewater. Any older students in here go through this? I’d be transferring in as a junior btw coming from web software aas at matc. I hope ppl can accept an older person near 40 going to school with them it’s already weird as it is for me.

Quinn Meinerz went from D3 to NFL Starter...and just got paid this offseason.

But how did this under-recruited D3 underdog even make it to the league in the first place?

Here's Quinn's Full Story 👀

Bathrooms and Showers

This may be a dumb question but how do bathrooms and showers work. Is it like highschool where there are rows of stalls or something or are there any individual restrooms. And as for showers is it similar where there are a bunch of stall showers or are there like room showers or something like that. Thanks

Is a foreign language required?

Is a foreign language required at UWW? I was told since I was a general business major (not international business) I did not need to take a foreign language. Now I am being told I do. I took 4 years of foreign language already in HS. Is there really a foreign language requirement here. I absolutely hated foreign language in HS.

IntraUNV class - worth it?

I’m signed up for the IntraUNV new student seminar class next semester and am wondering if it’s worth the time? I felt the SOAR orientation was pretty comprehensive. Has anyone taken this before and have an opinion they’d like to share?

Hoping to transfer in the spring

I’m finishing up my associates degree this fall and am planning to transfer in the spring. I’ll be finishing my application today hopefully (just finishing my essay). Since I’m transferring in the spring will it be harder to get a dorm and other things like parking passes? Just a little nervous since I’ve only ever been to community college.
