University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire? Why?

Taylor

The worst thing about my school is the lack of help/advertising of help. We have the resources and have the people to help students, not only with academics, but also with financial aid, housing, counseling, etc., but my school doesn't reach out or make it known that they exist very well. This is especially true for transfer students. I was a transfer student halfway through the year, and I felt lost. As a transfer student, you would think the university would see you as a student who needs more guidence. Reaching out is something we lack.

Michelle

Not very "Non-Traditional Student" friendly. Not many online courses, night courses or weekend courses.

Megan

The culture. A lot of students are from larger cities and from families that have pretty nice financial standing. As someone from a poverty-stricken small-town, it can be hard to find people with the same values. A lot of students drink on the weekends, so if you're not interested in partying, it might be hard to find something to do.

Lack of diversity but I know it is the most diverse institution in this area. I really like the school though. Maybe I could say the recent retirement of many faculty in social work has led to some disappointing new proffesors and turn over.

Kara

The bridge is really cold to walk across in the winter.

Chalen

The worst would have to be the dorm quality. Because the bathrooms are usually full of spiders crawling on the ceiling and around the windows. Something that creeps me out and many other students.

Mya

Hands down, the worst thing about school is the parking. There is not enough parking on campus or even on the streets around campus. I usually have to park about six blocks from campus everyday. I think there is a huge need for a parking ramp.

Bryanna

I believe that the worst thing about my school is that all students that come from Illinois or some other specified states don't receive in-state tuition, but states like Minnesota and even Indiana do. I believe this is unfair for those who are trying to earn an education just like the rest of the individuals here. This should be changed that way other students won't hesitate to come to Wisconsin schools.

The worst thing about this school in my opinion is that whenever you have to go to upper campus or to stores you have to climb a very inclined hill that many people have a hard time doing.

April

The very few professors who think they are better than everyone else. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a schedule that you like a lot, but it is possible to get the classes you need eventually.
