I graduated from Parkside 25 years ago and it was a great experience. It's small enough to not be overwhelming and in a great area so be able to explore Milwaukee or Chicago on weekends if you choose. I only had to go outside once to get to school from the dorms and it was a very short walk so it made getting to my classes very easy! The land that it's situated on is beautiful and right between Racine and Kenosha. I love going back to visit!

Everyone at UW-Parkside needs to be trained in customer service. Overall bad experience with all offices that I had to talk to. This excludes their professors, but everyone else involved gives the university a bad rep. Dropping out of all courses coming up, and seeking my MBA elsewhere.

I'm the guy that's gonna leave a review for a disc golf course at a University. After doing a little online homework (get it) I found the two on-campus courses located at UWP. They have a 21 hole course called Orchid, and an 18 hole course called Parkside. We parked in the UWP lot on the north side of the campus and started in on the Parkside 18-hole course, and fully planned to do both courses this afternoon. It only took a few holes to realize that most of the course was going to be a mud-slugging adventure, and after maybe the third hole the three of us were a complete mess. We wore appropriate footwear so the mud wasn't going to stop us. As for the course, we really enjoyed it, less a lot of bush beating to dig out errant discs. I'll interject at this point that it matters little if you're an experienced disc golf player, plan to do a whole bunch of bush beating on this course. Fairways are razor thin and most have a dogear curve or two. Add in tree's and bushes in the midst of each fairway and you have one hell of a difficult course here. The majority of the holes are within two separate forested areas which may lend a mental image. It took us close to two hours for the three of us to slog through this course. Let's say that the mud added an unnecessary 30 minutes to that time. Actually, the 18th hole eluded us. With map in hand we didn't see it and assumed it was MIA, so we really only did 17 holes. The mud put a crimp in our desire to tackle the Orchid afterwards so that one stays on my to-do list. If you enjoy a challenging, obstacle-filled course the Parkside 18 will not disappoint. If you like open fairways and distance throws filled with accuracy, you might find a day of frustration and a strong inkling for beer afterwards. Cheers.

In spite of Draconian budget cuts, this collegiate gem remains an outstanding academic institution, a lovely campus, and an academic star that all Wisconsin tax payers should be proud of. The modern and well maintained buildings are attractive inside and out, they are surrounded by a small forest and the many large windows provide soothing and pleasant views. This is where the Northwestern Wildcats have their summer football training camp, and the players rave about the food quality. There is surprisingly good food in the cafeteria, rivaling the best restaurants in town. Community lectures, plays, concerts, and art exhibits, there's a lot for the area residents and visitors to enjoy here. Of course the main service is a solid undergraduate education, somewhat precariously maintained in today's anti-education, anti-science, anti-intellectual political environment, but I think it's still one of the best college choices in the Midwest.

A place for hardworking students. We are the most diverse campus in the UW system and we have lots of working class students. Small class sizes. Excellent theater, pre-health, computer science programs and more.

The university for people who hate to walk very far to class. (unless you're a commuter-- then you may have to walk a bit from those parking lots) I will fondly remember UW-Parkside for giving someone with a pretty ugly high school academic record a chance and the ability to prove I was destined for real college.
