What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? The small class sizes, the team is close, and Coach Rotz.

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.
