Overall

I am a sophomore at this school and overall I think this school is kind of a joke. It is basically a bigger version of my high school. Some of the courses are very helpful in my degree but a lot of them are very unprepared and are just made up as the semester goes along. What I do like though is how small the campus is and that all of the classrooms are in one building. A tip to attending this school is to ask questions about the teachers before committing to one of their classes, because there are some really lazy and unproductive teachers there.

Academics

I've taken three semesters of classes at UW Fox Valley and out of them my favorite has to be Psychological Statistics. I honestly hate math and Professor Ellen Wilson made the class easy to understand, applicable to life, and a joy to attend. On the other hand, I took the class Natural Disasters Living On The Edge with Professor Johnson and Djukpen and it was the biggest waste of time I've ever had. The work of the class was made up either the day or hour before the class started and communication between teachers was non existent. The class sizes though were very nice and usually not over 40 unless it was a pit class.

Campus Facilities & Safety

The atmosphere is very clique like a high school, the facilities are usually in great shape, the computer labs are helpful but you have a limit on what you can print for free. the organizations are very vast and you can basically find one no matter what you are into, the parking lot is very small and is a big walk depending on where you are able to park (one of the parking lots is shared with a bowling alley across the street), and the safety on campus is very good.

Overall

Overall University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley is a great school. I really like the experience I have had as being a student. Many people feel if they attend a two-year university they are missing out on the "freshman experience" and I thought that too, but you do have the "freshman experience." The experience differs to a 4 year campus, but you still have it. You still meet so many new people, classes are so different from high school, and you still have fun along the way. One of my most memorable experiences during my freshman year at Fox was my first day when everyone was willing to come up and speak to you. People are so open to meeting new people and getting to know you. That is one thing I have come to love about the campus is the people and their genuine friendliness. On top of having an incredible group of students the education you get and the professors you have are just as great! They try to make you the best student you can be and give you many resources to make sure you can do the best you possibly can.

Academics

Their is a very large variety of classes and programs to take at University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley. You have so many options on what you could take and it's so fun to try out new classes on things you have never really had an interest in before. On top of having a great selection of classes the professors are what make the classes as great as they are. All the professors really have a passion for teaching and making you the best student you can be. They offer many resources in class and out of class so you can get the most out of their course. Throughout the school their are areas for each subject to get help from assigned tutors to help you and believe me they help! On top of the professors being great as teachers, they are also great as people! Many of them like to be serious, but also have fun in class and let us as students laugh a little. In a classroom, depending on the class there can be anywhere from 25 people in a class to about 80. They are balanced very well and you never feel like just another student when you are in a classroom even when it is up to 80 other of your peers. With the workload it can be a lot, but nothing anyone couldn't handle with patience and time management. If you struggle with those two things then they can help you in the tutoring office. That is another thing I love about Fox, there is always someone there to help and lead you because college isn't an easy transition and isn't something you just master. Fox is all about you and helping you achieve your dream. Entérate de 5 Beneficios y Propiedades de el Aguacate

Campus Facilities & Safety

The campus is very nice and very convenient. It is all in one building; every class, the lunch area, computer labs, etc. The parking is enough for all the students and the walk from your car to school is safe. There is emergency buttons placed throughout the parking lot and people are always walking to and from their cars so you are never alone. One secret I can share is take morning classes because you always get the best parking spots, believe me! It comes in handy in the winter time! I love the atmosphere of my campus, I feel as if it is very balanced. There is space for people to go and study where it is quite, and private. My personal favorite spot to study is over by the auditorium it is very quite area and has extremely comfy couches! In many of the quite areas there is computers for the students to use! Then, there is also a place for you to sit around and socialize with all your peers. They have a room with a TV, pool table, and gaming machines just so you can hang out and relax for awhile between classes. On top of having a great atmosphere on campus it is also kept very clean. The facilities are kept up through out the day, the sidewalks in the winter are kept up, and the school overall is kept up. My campus is very nice and I am pleased with the experience it has given me.

Overall

What I like most about this school is the opportunity to work closely with the professors and tutors. Being a two-year university and it allows many helpful services as well. Overall, I really like this university.

Academics

The classes size is usually small. This is very beneficial to those who want to work closely with the professors and tutors. Also, many of the professors take attendance which encourages you to attend class.

Campus Facilities & Safety

Unlike many other institutions, parking is very convenient. And this institution being smaller than others that only consists of one big building, it is a lot easier and convenient to get around to your classes.
