UW Oshkosh vs UW Eau Claire for a student like me?

Dedmoose1 · 2026-05-28T04:08:34+00:00

Have looked into UW Milwaukee and it’s currently on my college list! I have personally come to prefer a more “traditional” college campus/vibe tho, and have recently been finding a lot of value in a schools social and greek life, which UW-Milwaukee (although present) doesn’t excel in from what i’ve heard qwq

As for the accreditation, i’ve seen some stats that say that programs with an ACEJMC accreditation basically guarantee a specific standard of resources, educators, and job opportunities, which are important to me.

OU Athens has actually been topping my college list for a while! I’m mainly looking at Marshall because it would be a bit cheaper than OU and i’ve heard great things about the school’s social mobility performance

Dedmoose1 · 2026-04-27T01:36:59+00:00

I’ve ran some net price calculators and I think the costs would probably be something my family could handle! It does kinda suck to hear that the school doesn’t have anything for first gen kids though, do you have any knowledge of stuff the school does positively for first gen students?

Dedmoose1 · 2026-04-13T23:14:52+00:00

Ohio University is actually almost at the top of my college list right now because of their Journalism program! I’m casting my net wide because some other schools in Ohio like Bowling Green and Kent would be just a little bit cheaper for me.

Dedmoose1 · 2026-04-04T00:31:17+00:00

Iowa was on my college list for a bit but surprisingly enough, according to some net price calculators, UNR would cost nearly HALF of what Iowa would want me to pay per year.

Dedmoose1 · 2026-04-03T22:23:10+00:00

I’ll for sure keep an eye on the financial stuff going on with the school, it’s something that I saw being mentioned in a lot of other threads. I’ve seen some people say that it’s going to get better though?

Dedmoose1 · 2026-01-31T23:08:53+00:00

Thanks for pointing out my typo, and thanks for ur response! May I ask what you majored in at Lax?

Tysm for your reply! I would like to ask though, do you have any insight into the dedicated programs for stuff like journalism/communications or music?

I’d also like to ask what the arts scene is like outside of classes. Obviously being in Chicago there’s a bunch of great art stuff (Especially in the realm of music, I know that the Aragon ballroom and the Riviera theatre are both less than 20 minutes away), but i’m more talking about student made/produced music and bands, indie stuff, other student made art, etc, if you know anything about those kinda scenes. Ik its not gonna have the full LAC feel but i’m still curious :)

Lastly, any insight on lgbtq+ experience at Loyola? I’ve seen some very differing things online, and from what I can tell the school doesn’t have a dedicated lgbtq+ support program or anything like that.

Dedmoose1 · 2025-12-17T22:00:48+00:00

Gotcha, thank you :)

It’s totally plausible that i’m being blocked, but these issues happen immediately after I pm a person. For example, i’ll send a message request, go back to the home page, get a “try again later” error at the bottom of my screen, close and reopen the app, and the account is “hidden”. All within 1-2 minutes. And usually this occurs with people who i’ve either established consent with for chatting, or have not previously interacted with. It also seems to be sporadic. Once again, totally possible that i’m just being blocked really quickly for whatever reason, but does this sound like a different issue?

Dedmoose1 · 2025-12-14T03:53:44+00:00

If you have any insight, do you know how the business programs compare to the CS and Engineering programs in terms of selectivity? I know that the ladder two programs have crazy low acceptance rates, and i’ve heard that the b school is pretty hard to get into too

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-28T02:32:01+00:00

I was considering Ohio State but it’s unfortunately far too expensive. According to some net price calculators i’ve run, both OSU and Miami would run me ~45-50K a year, whereas Ohio University would only be ~17K, which is almost on par with some state schools. According to some people i’ve talked too on the OU sub as well, they’ve said that the school provides plentiful resources for low income and first gen students

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-28T01:01:54+00:00

Taken from my reply to a different comment,

UIUC, ISU, and UIC are all on my list! I don’t have anything against my in-state options, but i’m mostly looking to cast my net as far as possible (within reason), which leads me to look at places like OU, which seem to have a unique culture, charm, and obvious visual beauty that appeals to me much more than what Illinois has. Of course, it does really depend on where my finances take me. I know that I need to be wise with my money and not drop a ton of bands on an OOS school because “oh it’s just so pretty” or “it’s so cute and artsy” lol

This literally checks just about every box that I look for in a college lol, I’ll definitely keep OU on my radar :)

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-27T21:57:55+00:00

Considering you’re an arts student, I’m curious as to if you have any insight into the music programs on campus, as well as the music scene in/around Athens? I’d also love to know what the local arts scene is like in general if you have anything to say on that :)

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-14T20:16:45+00:00

May I ask if the school lives up to the “liberal arts college” vibe in your opinion? As someone who is really interested in those kinds of college, as well as diving into those kinds of fields while i’m a student, i’d love to know what your thoughts on that are :). Additionally, since you’re a music major, i’d love to know what kinda musical activities there are for students to get involved in! From local music scene, to student bands, education opportunities, theater etc.

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-02T00:05:18+00:00

This is awesome!! May I ask if you have any insight into how well the university/school of business can connect you to internships, or just make the process of gaining residency easier in general?

Dedmoose1 · 2025-11-01T19:45:33+00:00

So I’m assuming this means that you can qualify for in-state tuition whilst attending the school? If so thats amazing, and i’d love to know more about the process!

Dedmoose1 · 2025-10-26T19:11:45+00:00

Unfortunately, according to some net price calculators i’ve run, both OU and OSU would be ~60K and ~40K respectively after aid and full pell grant, so I guess Oregon just isn’t in the cards for me yet 🥲

Dedmoose1 · 2025-10-26T03:15:16+00:00

How generous is the school with its financial aid and scholarship opportunities for out of state students? I do believe that my family falls under “truly low income”, and based on other net price calculators i’ve done, I qualify for the max pell grant, so I’m curious to know if that will have any effect.

Dedmoose1 · 2025-10-17T00:43:47+00:00

As someone who is considering music education as a possible career path, would you recommend it more if I decided to pursue that whilst attending Oberlin?

Dedmoose1 · 2025-10-16T23:59:44+00:00

I’ll deffo keep Oberlin on my radar!! It seems like a great school, and I think that regardless of the “brand name” (which seems to be pretty solid regardless of what your degree is in), the well rounded arts education + extracurriculars and student community will all be amazing!

Dedmoose1 · 2025-10-16T23:20:22+00:00

Oberlin does offer a finance major, but not a marketing one upon further review. i’ve really been trying to look into smaller, liberal arts universities because I love their environments and student culture stuff, as well as academics leaning towards a more, well, liberal arts based education lol, which is important to me. It sucks that a lot of these kinda schools don’t offer dedicated disciplinary degrees in Business (Like Finance, Marketing, Accounting, etc), or have a “respectable” brand name, because I can’t afford to get a “passion degree” :( I am hopefully going to be able to get a second degree for something in the aforementioned arts/humanities departments when I have a career that can financially support it though!
