Why UW-Richland? Mike explains

Mike Dalberg: I'm a 2008 graduate of the Richland Center High School, and a freshman on campus. It wasn't easy to pick a university to go to, but I found that UW-Richland was the right choice for me. It gives me plenty of experience as I make my way toward a theatre major, a comfortable campus, professors who are easy to approach, and an overall fantastic atmosphere at an affordable rate. I've also met great people from not just the surrounding area, but also other states and countries. The future isn't always clear and anything can happen down the road, but this is truly a great place to start.

My name is Antonio Thomas, Jr., editor of your campus newspaper as well as resident advisor at Campus View. I was born in Chicago, Illinois, where I lived for the most of life. I moved to Madison, Wisconsin during my sophomore year in high school and went on to finish at Madison Memorial. The first thing that caught my attention about UW-Richland was, of course, the tuition, which is rather reasonable compared to other universities. During my first semester I faced my share of challenges, as does every college freshman (especially with money), but I had great roommates along with college professors there to help me through. UW- Richland is a great place to start because of the great one-on-one opportunities, which will allow you to stay on track and get that extra attention if you need it. The University of Wisconsin-Richland was a great choice for me, which is why I take great pride in being a Roadrunner!

Julia Schneider: I graduated valedictorian from Pardeeville High School in 2008. Just like all other graduating seniors, I had to contend with many debates over where I would pursue further education and the never-ending stream of mailings from potential colleges had me overwhelmed with all the possibilities. I originally chose to become a UW-Richland Roadrunner because of the humble, erudite atmosphere of the campus, the personal attention of the small class sizes and the low tuition rates. I found that I learn the most when I become passionate about the subject and, even when I was less than thrilled about the course, the exceptional professors and my great new classmates kept me focused and eager to learn. When I first settled on UW-Richland as my college I had many people doubting my decision and telling me that I would regret going to a two-year university. Now, in my second year at UW-Richland with my transfer already prepared, I can without a shadow of a doubt say that starting at UW-Richland was my best choice. I will sincerely miss this campus when I transfer on to complete my degree.

Hi! My name is Macey Nee and this is my first year at UW-Richland. I went to high school at Ithaca, a very small school, and graduated with a class of around 30 kids. I loved the fact that I knew everyone at school. That is one of the many reasons why I chose UW-Richland. It is a relatively small campus which gives you a comforting feel. Another reason for choosing the UW-Richland campus was that it was so close to home. I commute every day because it is only about 10-15 minutes away. Everyone on campus is so nice and friendly, professors, students, and staff. Everyone makes you feel so welcome. In high school I was involved in activities such as cheerleading, dance team, forensics, and student council. I try to still be involved on the UW-R campus. I am currently a member of the Campus Ambassadors, which is an organization that gives tours to prospective students and helps with other activities throughout school. I plan to major in graphic design. Art is one of my passions. I encourage prospective students to find their passion and pick a career they know they'll love.

Hello there. My name is Rad Duprey and I am currently a sophomore at UW-Richland. I can say with the utmost confidence that this campus is a wonderful place to start due to its low tuition, enhanced individual attention with professors, friendly environment, and the great staff involved in making the campus better every day. I am from Riverdale High School, a small school in Muscoda and I always wanted to forward my life in the direction of Multimedia Design. I was involved in Drama, Track and Field and have gone to State level competitions for both. However, I was never really eager to learn math, English, and other sorts of subjects. The professors here changed that. UW-Richland, as a whole, can change your future for the better.
