“If you didn’t go to UW-L and happened to be walking through the campus on the first day of spring, you would swear that someone pulled the fire alarm, because no one is inside. There aren’t many fat people here, and that is quite an accomplishment for a Wisconsin school. Our rec center has a 200-meter indoor track, basketball and volleyball courts, as well as racquetball, rock-climbing, and batting cages. There are so many fitness classes offered, from martial arts to swing dancing. The cafeteria has a well-stocked salad bar and individual stations for deli sandwiches, stir-fry, and egg-white omelets. And at the end of November, the university sponsors an annual 5K run called the Turkey Trot for all the people crazy enough to race.” —Derek Steinmetz, TK class
Reader Comments:
As a graduate in the Fitness Major at UW-LaCrosse back in '96, I just have to say YEAH to having La Crosse on the list!
-- Alang
Yeah La Crosse ! I just graduated with a degree in Exercise Sport Science and I completely agree with Derek. The campus is located in such a beautiful area with trails, bluffs, and parks and the Mississippi River. The successful athletic programs draw in students along with a focus on Physical Education, fitness and sport. Its shocking when I go to other cities in Wisconsin to see the obesity epidemic. Being at UW- La Crosse for 5 years really tricks you into thinking that America really doesn't have that big of a weight problem.

If you've ever been on the campus of UW-L, you'll notice more people going to class in athletic wear than in nice clothes.

La Crosse is where everyone goes if you didnt get a scholarship somewhere. i dont go a day without seeing a Wisconsin state track shirt that lists numerous events the person did.

If not for the intake grade, UW-L would make the top 5. Unfortunately, and fortunately, La Crosse students like to consume alcohol.
-- Derek
UWL - what can I say, fit folks who also enjoy their drinks in one of the best locations in the US. We've got it all......if only I could go back!
-- Tristen
I, Tom Whalen, am proud of this statistic that UW-L is in the top 15 in the nation. It just proves how athletic we are. Go eagles, that's all I have to say!
