Hi Im a junior and a transfer student, I'm from Los Angeles (absurdly long story lol) and I commute, so all those factors considered I've had a pretty quiet social life so far here at UWL. I barely know anybody in the area and I haven't had much luck with clubs on campus so far. Any advice for getting involved in something and/or meeting people for someone in my situation?

I've lived on the West Coast and in the UK and in both places I found it 1000 times easier to make new connections, but I haven't given up yet lol

Please take your friends with you.

I have a dearly loved colony of isopods in a 10 gallon terrarium that i an hoping to bring with me (as leaving them in my family's care really isn't an option). They cannot climb the glass, and have never made the escape attempt in my 2 years of owning them. They are low- maintenance and do not emit any kind of odor at all. Their terrarium is decorative and has some plants. I plan on going with the Reuter (i think that's how you spell it) dorm style, so I'll have my own room. Do you think there will be any issue bringing them?

I’m going there next fall so I’m basically gonna be a freshman. But can I apply to radiation therapy course when I’m just graduated from high school? I know I have to complete gen ed and pre req before applying. I’m just double cheking just in case

Title. I was wondering if this is something I need. I'm an incoming freshman who's wondering if professors provide these.

I am a Brit moving over to experience lovely small town America in La Crosse this September. I'm by no means an introvert and love to party and get pissed (frankly, the drinking age being 21 will be a good detox for me) so I've marked down Eagle Hall as I've heard great things about it and looks nice. Though I also highly value my own space, the idea of sharing a dorm room is incredibly alien to me and it is certainly not a thing in British unis, even if your room is the size of a cupboard it is your own space so I have also applied for Reuter.

My questions are as follows, I feel I know enough about Eagle to know its a decent hall I'd enjoy so I've marked it as no1 and Reuters as no2 for personal space if Eagle fails. But i'm concerned Reuters will be a very quiet hall with little social activity and a somewhat miserable experience, is this the case or am I mistaken? It is so hard to find any information given everything on youtube is 10+ years old and well, I cant exactly pop on the train and visit. Also which hall do people reccomend as a third option with a good social scene? There's hardly any information other than offical uni websites which are extremely dated.

Thank you very much

I think I'm gonna go here, and already have a roommate, but which residence hall is the most social for first years? I kind of want to live in a wing style hall (Laux or White), but if those are known for being totally dead then I'd be okay with Angell or Coate.

I'm considering going here as a freshman next year, but I'm a little concerned about the social scene and things to do. I've never been to La Crosse either, though I'll probably visit if I decide to go here.

Are people in general welcoming? Or does it have a 'small town' feel where everyone is sort of fake? Also, do you find that there's a lot to do outside of school, in the city? Is the campus pretty big? Lastly, are there a lot of house parties or do people mostly party in the dorms?

Idk, I would like to hear about your experiences here, even if they don't answer any of my questions

What are the possible modes of transport to commute in and around 6-5 mi from campus ?

Do we have any small commutes inside the campus as well?

Yeah as the title says I might be doing a year abroad in la crosse, the area looks beautiful and is exactly what I’m looking for being in nature and with hiking and other outdoor stuff I love it being somewhat small meaning if I don’t have a car I’ll be somewhat fine. I know a girl who went said it was great, so yeah what are the main things you all think I should know?

Is it hard to make friends? Is student life active? Are sports games attended? Do people stay or leave on weekends? What is the party scene like?

I have received admit for spring 2024. For ms software engineering. How many hrs a week will I have classes? Wil i have enough time for partime ?

Hi Is there any WhatsApp group for students going on spring 2024 to Uw-lacrosse ??

I’m trying to decide where to go to college. I’m in state from MKE. What are ur favorite things, least favorite, things I should know about uwl? Anything helps! Thanks!

Hello, long story short I just transferred here in September from my 2 year college, and I'm from a big city on the other side of the country. I'm doing somewhat well in my classes and am pretty up to date on everything, so I'm finding myself with a lot of down time. UWL and La Crosse in general are a lot smaller and quieter than what I'm used to, and I really haven't found anything to do in my spare time besides work. I've tried joining a couple clubs but the meetings are very infrequent and I haven't really gotten to know anyone. I'm genuinely curious to hear what people at this school do for fun, especially as winter approaches, and I'm open to trying anything just to get out of my dorm more. (Can't go to bars, I'm under 21) Thank you.

I'm an international student from Turkey, currently studying Business Finance in NYC. It's the first semester of my sophomore year and I will be transferring next semester. I got accepted to UConn Storrs, University of Wisconsin La Crosse and Eau Claire and completely confused. Living in big cities my entire life, I wanna go somewhere calm and less expensive lol but cannot decide. There are mixed opinions on all of these schools so I am looking for more opinions on the issue. Money is a big issue tbh, so I will definitely need on-campus jobs and will be staying off-campus. I need to decide soon as I need to plan my move, find a place, etc. so I appreciate every bit of info and opinion I can get. Thanks!

Just got admitted to uwlax and uw eau claire as a transfer student and trying to choose. I'm an international student, moved to NYC from Istanbul, Turkey and honestly, I want to live somewhere small and less expensive after living in big cities my whole life lol. I'm an Econ major with interest in Journalism. So, could you give me pros and cons of La Crosse and Eau Claire?

Hello, I'm curious as to if anyone's taken this class before, description of it sounds whack and I'm wondering if the class is something I should go with or not difficulty-wise or what the content even is. I'm trying to fill out my schedule with a GE class that will allow me to be full time and this is one of the only ones I found fitting my schedule.

Hi i am a international transfer student . Is the psychology program in UWL better than UWEC ? Need some clarification . Thank you

My classmate and I are taking an investigative reporting class this semester at UW-Madison. We’re working on a story (set to be published by Wisconsin Watch) exploring alcohol-related deaths in the state. We mention La Crosse’s Operation River Watch in our story as a way a community is responding to death caused by alcohol. We were wondering if there’s any River Watch volunteers in this sub who might be willing to talk to us about their experiences volunteering. We tried emailing River Watch, but we’ve yet to get a response.

Thanks!

Hi there. I’m considering transferring to uwl. I’m currently at a much smaller university and I’m just not happy with my current college or experiences thus far however I was considering transferring here. I have a few concerns, by the time I will transfer I’ll be 24(F). I’m worried about being an older student and if I’ll make friends. I’m also from a much larger city. Thanks!

What is Human Anatomy and Phys I structured like? Any tips and tricks to do well in the course. Planning on taking in the spring semester and pretty nervous about it.

I am a microbiology major and need some advice on what microbiology classes are the best to take at uwl?
