A historic institution anchoring a classic Midwestern college town

Public Lake College Town Historic Walkable

First-rate academics, Midwestern charm, and a distinct college town atmosphere define the University of Wisconsin-Stout, a fairly small school roughly an hour east of Minneapolis. The institution has worn the title of “Wisconsin’s Polytechnic University” since 2007, and the academic programs tend to lean heavily toward industry and technology.

UW-Stout essentially forms the centerpiece of its small hometown of Menomonie. The campus juts right up against downtown, making it exceptionally convenient to hop between the major university buildings and the shopping, dining, and nightlife of the town center. Living near campus puts you a stone’s throw away from the countless coffeehouses, restaurants, boutiques, bars, and nightclubs along Main, Broadway, and Crescent, all overlooking the shores of Lake Menomin. Apartments, condos, and houses in the area tend to quite affordable, allowing you to live within walking distance of the main campus as well as the city center without breaking the bank.
