The University of Eau Claire is best known as “Wisconsin’s most beautiful campus,” while visiting it became obvious as to why. The campus is separated by Garfield hill, which contains a multitude of hiking and biking trails. It’s campus is built around the snaking Chippewa River, allowing for relaxing studying places as well as a grate place to cool off. Although this campus is beautifully judged outwardly, the inside to me is more impressive. The real beautify of the school is the time and energy it provides each student as it paves the way for their success.

Besides its outstanding Music and Nursing programs, Eau Claire is known for many things including its beautiful campus, faculty-student relationships, and undergraduate research. The campus is bursting with wildlife and vegitation and even includes a mix of old and new buildings that offer both herritage and innovation. The campus is relatively small allowing students to truly get to know their professors, and vice versa. Furthermore, the undergraduate research program has hundreds of participants and is celebrated every year with the Celebration of Research and Creative Activity (CERCA) and the Honor's Provost Symposium.

It is known for its music program. We have a marching band that is quite unlike any other. They make marching band cool, and that is no small feat. It also has a strong education program, there are a lot classes but a lot of hands-on work as well which is great when preparing to enter the school systems.

The school is known for its school pride. The Eau Claire community devotes a great deal of time supporting the Bluegolds and we are happy to do it. Everyone really comes together to rally up spirit at sporting events. However, another thing would have to be the bridge. If you are not familiar with Eau Claire you wouldn't understand. Basically it is the footbridge crossing the river, that at any given time has the wind wipping past it at FREEZING temperatures. To put it mildly, we are very devoted students to brave that bridge every day!
