I live in a middle class family that is not able to pay for all of my tuition fees, but also not poor enough to receive adequate financial. Therefore my options are limited to states colleges and technical colleges. I picked UW-Eau claire because they have a strong Kinesiology program. UW-LaCrosse also has a good Kinesiology program, but Eau Claire is far enough away from home that I cannot come home every weekend. Also, the UW-Eau Claire campus size is perfect. The campus isn't so huge that you get lost like UW-Madison.

Our campus is not only extremely comfortable, it is obvious that professors love teaching and getting to know their students. The overall "feel" of our campus is driven, passion, and openness. Also, UW-Eau Claire is by far the prettiest campus in Wisconsin.

UWEC provides a challenging work enviornment. The nontraditional student services provided are superb compared to other universities I have researched. The Academic services from advisors has been an exceptional resource and of great assistance in every aspect. I have never had a problem recieving help everytime I have asked!

Eau Claire is a nice place to get an education. There are a lot of changes being made as of recent and I think it will only make the campus better though I'm sure the more conservative people aren't too thrilled. I like campus a lot, but I am a very outspoken person who doesn't back down because someone tells me to. EC is great if you like the outdoors and the small town aspect, campus is perfect for nature people.

The city of Eau Claire is amazing and has a lot to offer. The location along the Chippiwa River is beautiful and campus is so full of life. Any warm day and there will be people sitting around outside talking and playing. It is a beautiful campus and the hill is always a workout but we brave it year in and year out.

It has one of the best geology departments, one of the toughest nursing program between Wisconsin and Minnesota, and a great Jazz band. I was an undecied major when I was looking at colleges and UWEC had the widest range in majors and minors without being too huge of a university that I would be taught but assistants instead of their professors. This university requires that every student who wishes to graduates has to put in at least 30 hours of community service.

First of all UWEC is the only Wisconsin university to make the Princeton's 100 best universities list in 2007. It is also a campus that is focusing on going green. It offers a variety of places to live and so many students enjoy living in the dorms that there aren't enough rooms, but the people who do not receive rooms are put up in a hotel in Eau Claire and receive free shuttle back and forth to campus. UWEC is also the most beautiful campus of all of those that I visited.

The one thing I love about Eau Claire is this program called Eau Claire exchange, this is where you can go to any university in the U.S. for the same price you are paying at Eau Claire which is so amazing especially for people like me who love to travel and meet new people and discover different cultures. Also I wouldn't change this school for the world, everything is amazing, the campus it self, the people, the professors, the academics, the sports, and the diversity.

it is very small. I started at a very large school and this one is almost too small but is a very nice change.
