They don't offer enough classes for most people to graduate in a reasonable amount of time. Many of the teachers, you might even say most teachers, aren't very good at their jobs. I'll be entering my third year this fall, but I haven't been a full time student for the last two semesters. I couldn't. One of my friends has already left. More of my friends aren't returning in the fall. I only got into two of the five classes that I NEED to take for my major. And I'm in game design. Stout prioritizes my major. All CS majors are treated with more respect, but we're not even getting the classes we need.

I'd speculate that this might have something to do with the tuition freeze by Governor Walker a couple years back, but that really shouldn't matter. I'm not a Republican and I'm not a Democrat. I don't really care much about the politics behind it. I just believe that I'm entitled to what I've paid for. If I'm going to keep spending tens of thousands of dollars for credits and living expenses, then I expect that I'll be able to take the classes that I need, but they're not being offered. The University is robbing the students, and that's not right.

That's my opinion, and that's the prevailing opinion among everyone with whom I've spoken. Stout is garbage. Don't go here unless things change. And even if reforms are implemented, an education at Stout is still a hard sell. The employment rate after graduation, however, is actually not that bad, but that's about the only positive factor.
