Hi guys, I am thinking of joining UW-Stout for my Masters in Psychology. Can anyone give me some advice if I should go there or not. What about the faculty or campus? Is it worth it?

Hi everyone! My partner is a 3rd year student at UW-Stout and is doing their BSc in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. They are going though a hard time and I'm trying to just give them some home or perspective.

Can you guys who have completed you co-op can you please give any suggestion of places where one can apply to? Are there any internships that have any connection to UW-Stout aka they tend to take in students and understand the requirements? Any popular internships you know about? Or any places professors or staff can be a referral to? Anything of the sorts? Anything would help!

They don't have work experience related to the field sadly and are really worried about getting a co-po in order to graduate and I just wanna help our and ease a worry as much as I can. I'm leaving the US soon so won't be able to be there for them so I want to do this before I go if possible.

What was the experience like? How was the pay? Is it easy to join? I know the UW Stout page mentions internships, but I’m wondering about these details.

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman and my roommate and I were gonna bring an air fryer. Is it allowed?

Hey so I (28f) am transferring to UW stout this fall…. I grew up in Green Bay and currently live Chicago and work in fashion but I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to transition to small town living or if there is much of a fashion community on campus

Hi there, I've never used Reddit before but I had a few questions about transferring to Stout and figured this would be a good place to ask until I can meet with an advisor. Any replies would be helpful!

1. First of all, I plan to transfer to Stout after completing my associates in Computer science. I assume there shouldn't be any problem since I meet the core requirements (math and basic programming classes), but I've heard that the game design course at Stout is really intense, so will I be able to complete my degree on time or will it take longer (i.e. more than 2 years?)

2. The website says that you develop a portfolio in your first year: Does this change at all for transfer students? What exactly are they looking for in a game design portfolio? I have lots of stuff I could put in a portfolio that I've made already, but are they just interested in what you create while you're at the school?

3. If anyone has taken the game design courses, is it very art and visuals focused or does it also focus on the actual "design" of the game, i.e. how it plays, game direction, etc.?

Again, any reply is helpful. Thank you!

Do the dorm room dressers have locks?

My girlfriend is looking at the MFT program and I would move with her (my job is remote). What has anyone's experience been with grad student life, with or without a partner? Where do grad students tend to live. Is it common for grad students to commute from Eau Claire?

Hi! I am a high school junior and I have been looking for a college with a good video game development program and Stout has peaked my interest. I have been looking over the course requirements here, and I also found this old post on this sub about the course. However, I also see that Computer Science and GDD share the same classes for collaboration "between artists and programmer". So my question is if I take the GDD program, will I be doing more things on the art and asset creation side of things, and if I take the CS program will I be dealing with more of the design and programming? Also, what kind of things will be asked for in the portfolio for GDD?
Thank you!

Could somebody here please send me the syllabus for the first Business Law course by this professor? I need it by tonight so I can send a transfer request over with this information.

Not sure if it affects other majors, but engineer majors started paying an engineering differential fee around 2 years ago and I personally don’t recall any notice given about this. It’s like $750 each semester.

Allegedly this is supposed to give engineering professors money for new equipment for students, and you would think that some of this new equipment students pay for would be theirs to keep.

Two of the professors who have mini labs for us in two CEE classes BOTH claimed that they didn’t have access to the differential money and were not sure what it’s used for.

So why add a large fee?

I am an incoming freshman at stout, wondering if there are any strong opinions as to which dorms are good or bad, as well as any general tips folks have in relation to dorms/preferences for housing. also, given that it's may already, are my options diminishing? planning to get the housing form submitted in the next day or so, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey all I’m Nik, I’m currently involved in a group ethnography project for cultural anthropology and our focus is on the experience of students of color/international students and I wanted to gain some personal insight on what it’s like for you to navigate through this college experience. If anyone is interested in taking some time for a sit-down interview via zoom or at MSC/Library (your preference) give me a shout out!

this is such a long shot but annoyingly my mom put off buying tickets to the last second even when i told her they would sell out fast ALL WEEK and i told her as soon as they were on sale (in hindsight i shouldve just bought it for her but i foolishly trusted she would just do it) so if anyone at all learns that they or someone they know has an extra ticket or maybe can’t make it PLEASE let me know i’ll pay you for it even

Hi there. I'm an international student starting my course this August and I wanted to know what's the average rent in the area, since I'm planning to live off-campus? I'm open to living with roommates and my budget is $400-500. On a side note, how much more affordable or costlier is it to live on-campus?

Mainly asking for other transfer students who transferred from schools that didn’t offer a direct transfer path. So most elective credits were iffy or had to be reviewed by a program director?

Some background to what I’m going to write below. I am a BFA prospective transfer student.

At least in my case I’m experiencing a path of having to stay very much in touch with the program director over academic advisors. Which is perfectly okay, but I think everyone’s experience levels are different when coming in from different schools. My program director has told me he’d sign off on some classes so I can advance into more rigorous coursework and will have a 3 year path this way by doing this. However, he’d like for me to take some of the Pre-BFA foundation classes (not all of them) in addition to these more rigorous courses. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Sorry if this was hard to read, but thanks for reading

All. My best girlfriends and I are coming to good ol menom for a weekend to reminisce. We graduated in 2016. What should we do? Where are the frats? (Semi-kidding).

Do not take this as me telling you not to come here, but please heed my warning. The advisors here will not hesitate to lie to you about classes you need to take and about which year your concentration is.

I have heard horror stories about the art professors and engineering professors, but I was a CS student myself. My art student friends were the most depressed I had ever seen them, and a couple that graduated with me have yet to even hear back from companies. Same goes for my engineering friends, whom had laughable assistance from the “career services” and got jobs on their own accord outside of anything Stout related.

My own graduation was also delayed a semester because my advisor (in email) said I had to take one class but when I was told I couldn’t graduate in may because I was missing something, the Registrar’s office sided with the school in forcing me to graduate later to take one class.

Stout WILL NOT hold professors accountable to their word, even in email, and will gladly take more money from you in my experience.

Don’t even get me started on the food prices and quality and the commons food court and the marketplace.

Any calculus classes offered online without online proctoring?

Just like the title says. Would like to move to Menomonie for school next year, not enjoying the commute from Eau Claire and is has not even started snowing yet. I am not seeing very many listings for next year. Looking for 1 bed/1 bath since I don't know enough people here to find housemates.

Is there an online resource that works best in Menomonie (Craigslist/Marketplace/Zillow)? When is the right time to be looking?

Also, Stelter Rentals appears to have some places, has anyone rented from them, have an opinion as to what their experience with them was like? If you have any management companies that you do like please let me know who they are?

Thanks for any information that can be provided.

Asking for a friend, are there any microwaves available to commuter students on campus?

Hello everyone, I'll be a freshman this upcoming school year. I'm not bringing a car so I'm just wondering if it's worth it to bring a bike to Stout.

I'd also appreciate any other tips/advice about what being at stout is like.

Just not motivated

Any inspiring or motivating words from anyone?

I just got accepted to stout as a transfer student. I am going to be 21 by the start of the fall semester and was wondering what on-campus housing would be available/preferable for me to look at. I was trying to find this out ia Stout's site, but there was no mention of which dorms were available as a "first year" transfer student. Thanks

as a soon to be international grad student that starts in Spring 2024, what kind of housing do y’all recommend? tbh i’ve heard weird reviews about the on-campus housing and am not sure. thankuu
