University Of Wisconsin Stout • Menomonie, WI
Studying Hospitality And Tourism Management (completion in 2011)
• 5/7/2011

Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I feel that the opportunities that my college presented to me was unparalleled by other schools in the area. I always felt like my program was a priority at the school and that it seemed to only improve the longer I attended. Additionally, the degree of acceptance of differences on the campus was refreshing. |
| Program Reputation | 10 | My college is ranked in the top five of among hotel schools in the country. They have a dedicated department and even a whole wing of the school dedicated to the hospitality program. Their technology exceeds other school's capabilities. |
| Program Quality | 9 | My college's program was extremely comprehensive and flexible to meet life's needs. My school was able to teach me things that I otherwise would not have known, and was able to give me the background to achieve more. I also liked the technology the school offered. |
| Instruction | 9 | The instructors were well matched for the program. Most of the instructors had actual industry experience or were heavily engaged in industry organizations and boards. The teachers seemed to care about what they were doing and enjoyed communicating their passions to the students. |
| How Difficult | 6 | I feel as though the difficulty of the program was about average. The workload was copious but not over the top. I feel like there were several challenging assignments, but nothing as tough as what a medical or engineering student might have to do. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Because of technology's role in the classroom, there wasn't much in the way of hands-on activities. Unfortunately, technology can be a bit distracting to personal interactions in the classroom. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | Flexibility has been nothing short of amazing. In part, this is due to the fact that we are a polytechnic university which mean that every student carries a laptop to all classes. Due to the e-learning capabilities, students have more flexibility and don't have to be on campus regularly. |
| Academic Facilities | 7 | I feel that although the professors are wonderful, there weren't many tutors or study groups to speak of. With so many commuter students and with so much great technology, I don't feel like much bonding or teamwork happened outside of the classroom. |
| Social Life | 8 | There were always things to do once classes were over. I was very impressed to see that there was something to attend every night of the week. I also felt that there was a strong sense of cultural diversity and understanding of differences. |
| Placement Services | 9 | I was solicited with potential job opportunities no fewer than 10 times monthly . Additionally, my college offered career help courses, placement opportunities, and even a website that features my resume for future employers to view. |
| Alumni Network | 9 | The school's alumni network and support has been terrific. They have been in regular contact with me post-graduation and when I visit their offices, they are full of helpful people and opportunities to better yourself even further. |

| Would Recommend? | yes | Yes, definitely. This school really was a premier option for anyone entering or continuing in the industry. Not only did they provide me with many of the tools necessary to do my job well, but they also created excitement for the learning process. |
| Program Reputation | 9 | Stout has been ranked in the top 10 hotel schools in the country by several known hospitality groups. Additionally, their dedicated school of hospitality provides them with a greater ability to recruit talented teachers. |
| Program Quality | 10 | Stout was the perfect place to learn because of their flexibility and because of the seemingly never ending resources they provided. The faculty was very experienced and most had worked in the hotel industry in the fields they were teaching. |
| Instruction | 10 | There are clear differences between instructors who teach simply based on book learning from those who have real world experience. I found the faculty at UW-Stout had an overwhelming amount of industry connections, advice, and helpful experience to share. |
| How Difficult | 7 | Although there are many complexities in the hotel industry to learn about, I do not feel that it exactly ranks up there with the challenging course work that a Doctor or Lawyer might endure. I did feel challenged while I attended, however. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | I felt like the campus did a good job of encouraging and mandating internships, providing credits in exchange for real-world experience, and keeping us active. Books were not frequently used in classes as demonstration is better. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | I found that due to the "Polytechnic" status of the school, the online options ensure a largely flexible environment. Additionally, having no Friday classes was huge. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | The school had a dedicated facility for my program which was amazing and convenient. An open door policy kept the teachers accessible and tutors were everywhere. I thought it was really great. |
| Social Life | 7 | I did notice that there were several email blasts and flyers encouraging students to participate in social activities. I don't remember an actual human person encouraging it, though. |
| Placement Services | 9 | From technology and online profiles with resumes to job fairs and career internships, Stout is a premier school in terms of offering opportunities for it's students to be employed. They are active in ensuring every student has a plethora of options to choose from. |
| Alumni Network | 7 | The alumni foundation has been excellent in communicating about several events and opportunities available to post grads. Additionally, they frequently notify me of scholarships and grants for continuing my education. |
