University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Top Questions

I brag about the awesome geology program we have here at UW-Eau Claire. The professors are fun, intelligent, and care about how you do in their classes. I never forget to also brag about the weekend field trips we get to take to other states for our learning experiences as part of the program.

I will always brag about the choral program. UW-Eau Claire is nationally known as "Wisconsin's Singing University", and it shows within all six choral ensembles. Each of them are comprised of students of many majors. UW-EC is also extremely beautiful, especially when walking across the footbridge in fall and spring. The view of the Chippewa River is breathtaking. Lastly, the community is extremely strong, and there are endless ways to get involved, like joining a club, participating in research, enrolling in dorm activities, and more. Eau Claire is the best!

The people at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire make it a truly special place. Campus is filled with incredible people with diverse interests. It is rare to interact with a student or faculty member who is crabby or rude. The people on campus are genuinely kind, helpful, and care about you. The majority of my professors have gone above and beyond to ensure that I succeed in their class. Additionally, within the classrooms, a little family is created, as peers encourage and support one another throughout the semester. Throughout my time on this campus, I have made lasting friendships.

The academics on campus are deeply intellectual and beautifully inspiring at the same time. Somehow, this sleepy looking campus manages to perfectly harmonize a balance of challenge and fun into every course I have taken. I am impressed that they embrace all areas of study equally. The people are all incredible as well. Shining smiles from fellow classmates and reassuring nods from helpful professors compensate and contrast the dated landscape.

When talking about UW-Eau Claire, I tend to talk about the beautiful campus and the great teachers. The teachers here are very personable and truly want to get to know the students individually and on a name-to-name basis.

Outdoorsy activities!

When I tell my friends about UWEC, I brag the most about the food. The cafeteria food at Eau Claire is surprisingly good and eating with friends is a huge part of the social structure.

I like the size of the campus and the class sizes.

University of Wisconsin Eau Claire has a ton of great things to offer here, that other schools don’t have. We have the Chippewa River that runs alongside the campus and in the summer students take tubes and float down the river. It’s a blast. Also if you stand in the middle of the bridge over the Chippewa River in the winter, it is on the list for top ten coldest places in the Midwest.

UW-Eau Claire is very, very well-known for its massive hill separating the residence buildings on the top from the academic buildings on the bottom. I am forced to walk up and down that hill multiple times a day, so truth be told, I get quite a leg workout. I brag to my friends that attend other universities that they have to worry about gaining the "freshman 15" when I don't because I have the convenience of the hill as my personal trainer.
