Don't just take our word, hear what others have to say about TSU!
Amazing place of business. The environment is great to get work done and have some down time after. Well blended place
Zion
This place is awesome - it feel so cozy and if you have kids they have a place for them to enjoy when you can relax and maybe get some work done. The coffee and cold drinks are so good and they have different stuff to fix in your taste, they also have sandwiches. This is a most go!
Ilena
TSU calls students from the Ozaukee County area to step out of their comfort zone and humbly serve those around them. No matter what context, city, or country I live in there will always be people to love, and always people to serve, I am thankful for TSU for giving me opportunities to do so.
Gavin
I think what’s so important about what The Student Union does is it provides a safe community where students can come and they know that they’ll have good mentors and people to look up to and overall it’s just a really positive space for anyone.
Ava
Super cozy with plenty of seating. Great place to study, work, read, or relax. The vanilla latte I had was delicious too! Chill vibes.
Matt
Everyone [at TSU] has a huge heart and helps people out of the goodness of their heart.
