Wisconsin State College at Kiver Jails Wisconsin State College at River Falls has many facets. Many of these, strangely enough, seem to have been described by William Shakespeare. Although it’s true that the college is the oldest in Western Wisconsin, it can't claim to antedate Shakespeare. Yet, sometimes it seems the famous bard MUST have been writing about our college. A few examples follow. i “Mere is everything advantageous to life” The natural beauty of the campus invariably is the subject of comment by visitors. A green carpet covers the grounds during the summer months. In the winter, snow covering the trees and shrubs of all varieties converts the landscape into a wonderland. But it’s not only nature that provides “everything advantageous to life.” The college offers a wide variety of programs and course offerings in liberal arts, pre-professional work and teacher education.
