Meet Our Students

 

Charlotte Bresina UW-Barron County Rice Lake, Wisconsin

“Choosing to begin my college education at UW-Barron County has been one of the wisest decisions I have made - financially, it couldn't get any better!  Not only am I saving money through the low tuition rates, living at home, and continuing to work at my jobs, but I am also managing to get through my Associate degree without student loans."

Timothy Sienko UW-Barron County Spooner, Wisconsin

“The faculty are very personable and involved with the education of each individual student; this level of interaction promotes both academic gain and artistic growth that is lost in larger educational settings."

 

Lisa Zeman UW-Barron County Rice Lake, Wisconsin

“I decided to go back to school so I could help provide a better life for my family.  I was unsure how I would fit in with the younger students, but after starting classes I realized that this was not an issue, there are many non-traditional students at UW-BC.  For others wanting to go back to school, my advice would be to start out slow so you give yourself and your family time to adjust to the new routine."

Successful Transfers

“UW-BC provided me an excellent opportunity to get involved on campus and to explore a variety of classes to help find my areas of interest. The campus was a great start in college. Now, having earned my Associate degree and with my general requirements fulfilled, I am able to focus on a major I enjoy at UW-River Falls.”

Matt Miller Transferred to: UW-Stout

“It was a great advantage for me to attend UW-BC. I was able to discover what my interests are while getting an education that gave me a good start on my four-year degree. The faculty and staff were very helpful in advising me while I explored several transfer options; this made my transfer to a four-year university go very well.”
