Around Town

Campus has Volleyball courts, sports fields, and a track, so those are great options for activities. Stout is located in Menomonie, WI, Menomonie is fairly small and doesn't have a whole lot of shopping, so that was a drag but there is bowling and two movie theatres in town. Menomonie also has various running and biking trails that I thought were a lot of fun to use. Once you're 21, Menomonie has a pretty good amount of bars, all very close to campus and off campus housing.

There is not much to do in Menomonie but all the places are close knit full of people.

There's a rock wall and other amenities in the gym building. There's also an obstacle course located outside near campus that you can sign up for. There are plenty of free days for these amenities, too. A lot of events happen in the Memorial Student Center, which are free almost all the time, including comedians and other fun activities.

Go to the budget theater, go shopping downtown, hang out with floor-mates, attend school events.

Wide variety....movie nights, sports activities, state park nearby, 3 frisbee golf courses, lake in town, walking distance to downtown area - shops, movie theater, restaurants.

Join any of the numerous organizations or just relax in the newly remodeled student center. You can also catch a Blue Devil game or gather your classmates for a friendly game of volleyball. Take a hike in the local park or catch a show at the historic Mabel Tainter Theater.

Join clubs, meet new students, and get involved with the school. Lots of events are planned to keep students entertained. Movie nights hosted by Stout are always nice.

Saturday football games, hockey games, and the shops surrounding the campus are fun activities to keep you busy throughout the week. There is also a variety of clubs to join on campus. The dorms also rent out equipment for pool and ping pong along with movies and games.

There is a nice chocolate store nearby, and everyone says the pizza place next to the campus is really good (but I'm from Chicago so my standards are hard to meet). There are a ton of trails nearby to walk or ride a bike on and the lake is simply gorgeous. There is also an area called Stout Adventures that looks like it is a blast.

UW-Stout has many, many clubs and organizations for students to be involved in. Stout is very good at planning activities for its students. For example, there is a movie showing every Friday night. There are speakers, contests, concerts, etc. for the students to participate in. There is always something going on for the students.
