If you're lucky enough to attend UW-La Crosse, you have it pretty good. Nestled away in western Wisconsin, you get the small town feel with a few big city attributes. If you picked UW-L as your school of choice, you might consider life to be *almost* perfect...except for when you repeatedly get asked these 11 questions.

1. "What is there to do besides hike the bluffs?"

Honestly, not too much! Hey, you asked.

2. "So you must be majoring in physical therapy, right?"

Yes, we have a great program here at UW-L. But no, not everyone is majoring in physical therapy...just about 90% of students.

3. "I'm assuming you didn't get into UW-Madison?"

Your assumption is fair, but UW-La Crosse wasn't just my default school; thank you very much.

4. "How crazy do things actually get during Oktoberfest?"

I'm just gonna go ahead and say...pretty crazy. There is a reason this weekend of festivities is referred to as "Notsoberfest". Correct me if I'm wrong.

5. "Is there a Kwik Trip on every block?"

Yes, and you better believe it! Us UW-L students rely on Kwik Trip, or the nicknamed, KT, for our 1 AM cheeseburger cravings, cheap fountain mixers-I mean, sodas, and I guess, gas too!

6. "What about a coney island?"

While there might not be a Coney Island on every block yet, it is just as popular. Coney Island is a La Crosse tradition and can satisfy any chili dog craving you'll ever have.

7. "Bet you're familiar with 3rd. Street, huh?"

I've heard of it once or twice.

8. "Can you swim in the Mississippi?"

You sure can! Pettibone Beach is likely to be packed on warm days!

9. "Isn't La Crosse basically the drinking capital of the world?"

Maybe not the whole world, but definitely Wisconsin. And number 6 out of 20 in America. No big deal.

10. "What's nearby?"

If you're not familiar with the La Crosse area, you'd never guess that most of the surrounding communities are mostly designated to farmland!

11. "Could you see yourself anywhere else?"

Absolutely not; UW-La Crosse is home.
