Loretta - 01/08/2024

I absolutely love Stout. It's a great school, great staff and I just love Menomonie. The only thing I would say is some of the professors have their doctorates degrees and PhD and a lot of them make errors with grades, questions and answers. I have to correct my professors a lot which gets a little annoying.

I'm a Freshman at UW-Stout this year. Thus far the school has been good. The teachers here have been very helpful and approachable; they are truly committed to their students and want them to succeed. For the most part my peers have been nice, approachable and approachable. As I design student I value that we are getting to actually learn the tools hands on instead of someone lecturing at us on how to use them. It's also nice that 95{6f65e1278338a62264eed73e2adc5af8e2841420db12ceb4f80b8db22f3260ec} of the classes for art design students are in laboratory classes versus lecture. The campus has safe, easy to navigate, the campus police are always driving around, very approachable and want to be friends with you not against you. Stout is also right across the street from the police and fire department. There's not really a whole lot going and most students seem to hang out versus go to events. I feel that school truly does love ALL of its student no matter background, sexuality or race. It's a very industry oriented and it shows. The students are truly Stout Proud.

Jacob

I think it's a very solid, small town college. Very strong in the arts, and very strong in engineering. It's a polytechnic college, so you are learning early in your intended major. Fantastic dining facilities, and very nice dorms. Plenty of groups and organizations to join.

Kaelyn

UW Stout lives up to being a "hands- on" school. Many of the classes give you the experience you need rather than just reading out of a book. Stout also prides itself on the Game Design and Development majors and the huge video game community they have there. I wouldn't have gone to any other school if I had to choose again.

University of Wisconsin-Stout FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at University of Wisconsin-Stout?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for University of Wisconsin-Stout is 88%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    I could've used advice back then because I made the mistake of following an ex-boyfriend to the school of his dreams. Needless to say that relationship didn't work out and I was stuck attending a school for all the wrong reasons. Don't get me wrong Stout is a good college but I soon came to realize that I wasn't in the major that mirrored my life goals. Education is a fine profession but it is not the life path I want to take. After some deep thinking about my life goals I came to realize I really want to work with sports organizations and I am good with people and organizing. That is how I came up with the plan to major in Mass Communications with Public Relations emphasis and that is at UW Eau Claire so I will be transferring there next fall. Once I complete that degree I plan to get my masters in Sports Management. So to sum that up l, if I could give the high school me one piece of advice it would be to follow my own dreams, don't go or do something because or for someone else.

  4. What kind of person should attend this school?

    I would reccomend Stout to any students who are self motivated and driven. The professors will do thier best to educate you, but it's a two way street. Also, anyone who wants a good sense of community in their school should attend Stout. There are many opportunities, no matter what a student's interests are, to find a space for them to feel accepted and involved.

  5. What kind of person should not attend this school?

    Something that is very obvious about UW Stout and many other colleges is the partying aspect. This can be very distracting and even dangerous for your educational journey. If you have trouble with time management and are extremely prone to peer pressure, then attending this school may lead to a struggle with your classes. I’m not implying that you should avoid this school because of that issue. If you know you have a great head on your shoulders and you are dedicated to focus on your major and develop your skills, then this is the right place for you.

  6. What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

    The professors here are very nice and easy to get along with! If you ever have questions they are more than willing to help you out. I have yet to have a professor I do not like. Not only are the willing to help you when you need that extra push, they also make class entertaing while actually teaching you something. Overall, they are great!

  9. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about this school would be the size of the town. I love the school, but the town is small and the biggest store here is a Walmart. There is no mall which is okay by me. I like going to Eau Claire if I am in dire need of something specific.
