University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh

A week before summer semester I got a job offer and attempted to withdraw, however they have a policy where you cannot fully withdraw without speaking to someone. I left several voicemail and sent emails to several different offices and only my advisor wrote me back. I was recently hit with the 'outstanding' tuition from the semester I never attended. Their reasoning was literally that it was my fault I wasn't persistent enough after they failed to do their part on so many levels. Between this and... Read More two of my teachers being rude, barely qualified and constantly working against you; I am convinced this institution has policies in place to actively detract progress and create difficulties for students trying to exit their money machine. I would never, ever recommend this institution when there are so many other fine options in the UW system that work with and for the students to they host, rather than punish them for succeeding and trying to squeeze out every dime.

I completed the Human Services Leadership program through UW-Oshkosh, which was 100% online. I found this program to be very rewarding and insightful because I was able to get the college education, without having to worry about paying to live on campus or find an apartment each year. I was able to stay home and work my school schedule around my work schedule, whereas if I had campus courses, I would have had to adjust my work schedule around my class schedule.

These students I worked with came from all over and we were able to have discussions and get a variety of perspectives. The professors were very accommodating, helpful and just as attentive to us as they would have been if we were in person. Each professor wanted to get to know each student as an individual, acknowledged and respected our other outside commitments and roles.
