Review of University of wisconsin-platte...

This school is mediocre at best.

This school is mediocre at best.

There is nowhere to park and they never plow the roads/parking lots. When they do plow they require everyone to move their vehicles. There's nowhere for guests to park during the week.

Walkways are poorly cleared with many sidewalks not being cleared at all. Many times they are cleared once when it begins to snow and then more falls but they aren't cleared so they quickly become very slippery/icy.

The campus is poorly set up with many of the residence halls being very far away to the west or south of the academic buildings.

Quite hilly especially on the south/west sides.

There is nothing to do in Platteville. There are basically like 3 bars and no clubs. The only thing downtown is a jimmy johns.

The only thing more boring than town is the campus since it has almost no activities/events.

Cell service for gsm phones is poor on campus with no voice service and only recently did we get data service.

Financial aid refunds take 1-2 weeks longer to go out than my last two schools.

Only get $3 of printing credit per semester.

Residence halls are staffed very infrequently, usually from like 10a-12p then from 5p-7p. Which makes package delivery especially difficult.

No maintenance requests available on weekends even if they're relatively emergent.

Inclusivity is more for show here than actually trying to be inclusive. A lot of that has to do with the rural population in Platteville. lgbt is tolerated but only barely and only due to a recent crackdown on discrimination.

There aren't many places to sit/study in most of the academic buildings. The student center is really the only mixed use building that incorporates stuff like a cafe and other lounge area. The library is quite dated and it is hard to find anywhere for a large group study session.

-the black bar
-the annex
-pizzeria uno
