What is your favorite thing about UW-Platteville? My favorite thing about UW-Platteville is how supportive the people are of each other on campus. I love how everyone on campus is so welcoming and friendly.
Why did you choose UW-Platteville? I chose UW-Platteville because it was far enough away from home for me. It forces me to branch out of my comfort zone and make new friends. Attending UW-Platteville is an experience that I thought I would never have.
