Parkside professors truly supportive
So far my college experience at Parkside has been wonderful. My professors have been supportive, eager and willing to help when asked. There are several student support programs and weekly, sometimes daily, updates on what's going on campus. The building and surrounding area is beautiful which has made the learning experience all the better.
Small commuter campus spirit
UW-Parkside is a nice campus. On the smaller side. But great! There are a variety of clubs. But if you don't find one for you, you can get a group of people and make your own. Because this a mostly commuter campus there isn't a lot of students who do activities. But the students that do go are fun and are very kind.
Very good fit for me
Parkside is an affordable school that has so many resources for students to always feel safe and comfortable with what they need. Many activities are always happening to help students de-stress and keep their motivational momentum.
