What's it like at Parkside Kenosha?

Hey~ I've just started considering Parkside Kenosha for college, but I can't really find any student perspectives on it. Does anyone know what the experience is like there? What's the campus culture like, and are students generally happy?

Hello! While I don't have personal experience at University of Wisconsin – Parkside (also known as Parkside Kenosha), I can certainly provide some general insights gathered from various sources.

To start with, Parkside Kenosha is known for being a small, close-knit community with a diverse student body. Students often describe the university as supportive and inclusive, which primarily manifests in the college's resources and programs.

Academically, it offers a broad range of majors and has a student-to-faculty ratio that allows for small-sized classes and personalized attention from professors. It's known for its natural science programs and also has a popular business program.

Socially, students often describe the campus culture as being relatively relaxed and laid back. Being located in a suburban setting with plenty of green spaces, there are ample on-campus outdoor activities to take part in. Additionally, the college hosts a range of campus events throughout the year to foster community among the students. Keep in mind that like any college, the student body isn't monolithic, so individual student experiences can vary greatly.

In terms of facilities, there are different types of accommodation available, and there are several on-campus dining options to choose from. The Sports & Activity Center is often a focal point for a lot of student activities, including events organized by the over 70 student organizations.

Last but not least, the college has a commitment to sustainability, which is reflected in the Kenosha community. Kenosha, as a city, has various recreational opportunities and amenities within driving distance, including the Lake Michigan coastline, nature parks, shopping, and dining.

I hope this gives you a bit of an idea on what it's like to be a student at Parkside Kenosha. You may want to reach out to the admissions office or current students via social media to get a more personalized perspective!
