Students

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is a largely in-state school, meaning that a large majority of students are from Wisconsin itself, with Minnesotans coming in a distant second. Though demographics are constantly demonstrating minor fluctuations, there usually tends to be a higher proportion of female students to male students, which is in line with national university trends.

The school is primarily focused on undergraduate programs, which makes it no surprise that most students are young, completing some type of undergraduate course offered by the institution (see Academics section below). The majority of the student body is enrolled with the university on a full-time basis; a fair amount of them live on the campus itself, while more than half of the student body resides on off-campus housing. Freshmen in particular tend to have the highest on-campus residency rates.

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, while not among the most diverse schools in the nation, does have students from several foreign nations and minority groups (whether foreign or not). Both the school and the surrounding community have placed an emphasis on boosting appreciation of diversity, and students recur to the university

Local Community

A large part of the appeal of University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is due to the surrounding community, specifically the immediate Green Bay metropolitan area and the Fox Cities corridor. The metropolitan population of the larger Green Bay area stands at over 200,000 people, and the local economy is quite healthy; so much so, in fact, that the city of Green Bay was voted as the best American mid-sized city for doing business.

Many students find employment opportunities in the surrounding community, and the sectors of the local economy that have been witnessing significant growth in recent times have been tourism, healthcare and insurance. In addition, the area has a long record of being a center for the manufacturing, papermaking and food processing industries.

Green Bay boasts many tidy and well-maintained parks, the largest and most spectacular of which is the 700-acre Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, one of the most impressive urban wildlife habitats in the country.
