University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire?

Andrea

Someone who does not respect others should not be allowed at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. The student body is filled with people whose identities differ, whether it be by race, sexual orientation, interests, etc. The diversity is what makes it a special place, and I would love to see the diversity increase at my school. People who are not respectful have the potential to scare the diversity away and deeply wound the people on campus. The variety of people on campus is something to be celebrated, hence why people who would not respect that should not come.

The kind of person who would enjoy going to this school is someone who enjoys a small class size and exercise. The small classes are great because you can get to know all of your classmates personally, but some people do not like the small lecture sizes. There is also a lot of walking and a large hill that you must walk up and down in order to get to classes if you live on campus, but the exercise can be nice.

Rachel

A person who loves city life and wants there to always be something exciting to do. The closest big city is an hour and a half away. Someone who wants the sole focus of the school to be on academics and wants strong competition should not go here either. Many classes seem to take up more time than they should and do not apply directly to what you are studying for, so you need to allow time to take care of all of these general education classes.

I think this school has something to offer to everyone; however, someone who doesn't like walking up a hill after classes shouldn't attend this school, as the dorms and cafateria are at the top of the hill and the academic buildings are at the bottom.

UWEC is a well diversified campus who willingly accepts anyone willing to further their futures in education including undergraduates and graduates. The people who should not attend are those not willing to commit four years of continuing education and seeking something below a Bachelor's degree. Also, this campus contains several majors/minors with a study abroad requirement and travel is a major component of the school. Students should readily be willing to meet new people, study hard, and travel somewhere at least once during their educational career here at UWEC.

I do not suggest the people who do not take their academics seriously to attend the University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire. Additionally, those seeking a university experience with a large student population or diversity should not attend this school because the university size is relatively small and mostly comprised of Caucasian students.

Nicole

Someone who is not willing to walk up and down the hill daily.

Justin

This school would be a perfect fit for anyone, regardless of their background. In terms of education, UWEC can provide a quality education of many different majors. UWEC does a great job of providing the necessary materials, tools, experience, and opportunities to prepare for whatever may lie ahead in an individuals post-graduate endeavors. In terms of affordability, Eau Claire is great. A high end education at a lower cost than the majority of schools out there. Off-campus housing is very affordable and everything you would need is in the surrounding area. Overall, UWEC is a great value.

Eau Claire isn't a very large city, so those who are looking for a large city experience should not choose this school. Additionally, students who are uncomfortable with non-traditional assignments may not be completley comfortable with all the assignments as the focus is often on different ways to more effectively learn rather than just study guides and book assignments. I found though; however, that although i was more comfortable with these types of assignments, the ones assigned to me actually were very effective.

Kristen

A person interested in studying engineering should not attend this school. It does not have much focus on this career field.
