    In three sentences

    nicolet technical college offers the uw transfer program which allows a student to complete the required freshman/sophomore classes at an affordable rate with easy transfer to a uw college later.
    Tips for prospective students

    it saves on dorm fees if you live close enough to commute and the cost for the classes makes it a great option before transferring to your college of choice
    Academic Rigor

    the classes are small enough to give you great access to your professor, yet challenging enough to push you to the next academic level
    Dorm Life

    na - commuting from home
    Food and Dining

    they have a great cafeteria that gives you a variety of options to pick from.
    What to do for fun

    there are a lot of student clubs and activities plus you are in a great area for those that love outdoor activities.
    Bang for the buck

    very affordable. it is over half the price of the college i will be attending next year.
    Great for these types of students

    if you live close enough to commute and plan on completing a 4 year degree, consider the uw transfer program.

    Did learn a lot

    The school was great until Burmaster became president. Many programs were cut, and many instructors had to change their successfully teaching methods because she didn't approve. She is forcing the school down into a rut to the point students, like myself, are leaving and going else where. She wastes money on useless things, then claims the school needs to cut programs due to funding.
    Did enjoy being here

    I loved most of my instructors and fellow peers. We would all help each other out to make sure all material was understood, couldn't ask for better than that.
    Bang for the buck

    Yes the cost is low and the education level and experiance is high, but the administration is slowly changing that.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get everything in writing. If they guarantee you something, have them sign a document stating that.
    Great for these types of students

    New, and unsure of their future career.

    Will learn a lot

    I cannot say for sure but having visited the campus and talked to students there Nicolet offers you a practical way of learning: from the classroom textbook to direct hands on application.
    Will enjoy being here

    The campus is in a mostly rural area and is not very big but it is a very pleasant area. I cannot say about student life since I have not attended the college yet.
    Bang for the buck

    Depending on the major you are going for, it is practically half-price compared to other colleges. Nicolet does offer some scholarships but don't forget to apply for financial aid. Also, it is very easy to have a part-time or full time job either at the school or some where else to pay for your studies. Talking with one of the students, I found out that her parents did not have to pay a dime for her schooling but that she paid it all herself thanks to part-time and full time jobs.
    Tips for prospective students

    There are no dorms on campus so you will have to arrange your own housing. Nicolet has a transfer program that is 2 years long letting you get most of your general education credits done towards your major. From Nicolet then you can transfer to any University of Wisconsin and others that they have listed to finish your major. This transfer program is also a good idea to go for if you don't think you will be accepted directly at a University of Wisconsin (and also cheaper on the long run).
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to get a good degree in a short time for a low price. Students who won't get accepted directly into a University of Wisconsin. Students who are looking for a cheaper way to their major of choice.
