What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? My favorite thing about UW-Platteville is having the ability to have tacos for lunch everyday.

Why did you choose UW-Platteville? There is a Taco Bell near campus to satisfy my obsession with tacos. I also enjoy the smaller campus that the university offers, and UW-Platteville has one of the best options for engineering majors.
