Find your future at UW-Whitewater
At the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater you’ll find two campuses with plenty of room to learn, grow and thrive. Warhawks enjoy the bragging rights of paying less — our combined tuition, room/board and fees is the lowest of the four-year campuses in Wisconsin. That low cost combined with our stellar outcomes — Warhawks graduate career-ready, with 99% employed in their field or in graduate school post-graduation — earned us the affordability badge from the Colleges of Distinction.
The guides were so knowledgeable of the flowers and growing techniques – how they grow best, soil, sun. It was interesting to hear about how much planning goes into the landscapes. The tour gave me a chance to see some beautiful garden space on campus that normally isn't noticeable when driving by.
