Winona State University

Pros: Lourdes Residential College
Cons: Everything, except Lourdes Hall

I came to Winona State University because of a Presidential Honors Scholarship and that was a huge mistake. I have taken many varied courses in attempt to decipher what I am interested in studying for the next 3-4 years and am still in the dark. Not...

Pros: Good price, decent social life, well respected
Cons: Academic advisors, Food service, small town

I came to Winona State because I couldn't afford a more expensive college and I was offered a football scholarship. That didn't last however, as I quit after one quarter of it (WSU was on the quarter system then, they are currently on the more familiar...

Pros: Affordable, Teaching Faculty, Four year guarantee, Laptop University
Cons: Not all degrees available, Lack of housing for students

Finding the right place to send you kids to college can be difficult at best. The cost of tuition alone can send you in a downward spiral! There goes retirement for another 20 years!
Winona State is an excellent school at a GREAT price! The...

Pros: quick and cheap
Cons: infuriating

I will graduate from WSU in 109 days and it can't come soon enough. If a schools mission is to make you frustrated with it and want to burn it down by the time you get out then Winona State succeeds admirably. I cannot speak for every program on campus...

Pros: Location, Location, Location! Small, intimate envirnment
Cons: Administration Housing and Parking issues

4 years ago a very convincing recruiter came to my high school- we sat, we laughed- I decided WSU wa ...

Pros: new facilities and technology are shaping the campus

After reading the previous reviews and seeing the dates they were posted, I feel the online audience deserves a few updates: 1) Winona State is the largest laptop university in the country. It had the largest rollout of Gateway convertibles in the ...

Pros: some decent faculty
Cons: lack of resources and equipment

I am a 4th year Cell/Molecular Biology Student. I do not recommend attending this university if you are interested in pursuing a career in higher level biology. Although some of the professors are very qualified, the other half seemed to be teaching at...

Pros: upper biology professors, small class size
Cons: lack of resources and funding

I am currently a 4th year cell molecular biology/ prevet student. If I could go back to my senior year in high school and choose a college again with the knowledge I now have, I would make a different choice. The student resources overall and...

Pros: Small town, good price
Cons: Small town

Memories...Boy Just to see the name brings back the wonderful memories of Winona State. While I am now married and working with children it is slowly coming up on my 10 year reuion from college, and I still have to admit they were the best 4 years of my...

Pros: Challenge to think, intelligent professors
Cons: Small department in a small school

I attended Winona State University from 1992-1997. For the first couple years, like many students, I went from class to class with no direction, nor a major. While getting in what General Education requirements I could (Winona State is notorious...

Pros: 8000 Students was a great size and offered some diversity
Cons: The town has little recreation to offer before you turn 21.

After attending Winona State for a year and having a Great time, I decided to transfer back to a college in Chicago where I was raised. Although I met some great people, with whom I am still in contact, and I had some really great times, I realized...
