The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is known for its cold, cold winters. The infamous hill as well as the bridge that crosses the Chippewa river are not for the weak of heart during the winter. As an art student, I must cross the bridge everyday to reach the Fine Arts building. At 7:45 in the morning, the wind sure can blow! The bridge has also been listed on David Letterman's top 10 coldest places in the U.S. So for those who prefer warm, balmy weather...this isn't the place for you.

The kind of person that should not attend this school is a person that is not ready to advance their education and try new things. If the person is not ready for new and challenging experiences then the should not attend this school. Also, a person that does not want to climb a hill everyday should not attend this school because we have a huge hill to climb to get to upper campus.
Colleen
The only person who shouldn't attend UWEC is a person unwilling to open their mind, or unwilling to put the time in to their classwork.
Abigail
Having grown up in Minnesota, I have been to the Twin Cities on many occassions and the college life there is quite different from that in Eau Claire. If you are a person who is seeking an experience living in the big city, Eau Claire is not the place for you. However, just because it does not have the skyscrapers and fancy buildings or is home to a professional sports team, Eau Claire still has plenty to offer college students that is unique and special to the city.
Kelsey
People who dislike walking a great deal, especially up very steep hills, as a rather large one separates dorms from academic buildings. Sometimes it is required to almost power-walk between classes, with a heavy backpack, depending on the distance between your buildings. Also people who have little patience with rather ill-arranged systems of parking lots and side-streets should avoid Eau Claire.
Matthew
The person who should not attend this school is a slacker who does the bare minimum and cannot handle a faster-paced environment.
Johanna
Someone who is interested in a lot of diversity. Since the city isn't huge, most of the school population is white.
Miranda
You probably shouldn't attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire if you don't care about all the positive activities both on and off campus. There is really no reason somebody shouldn't attend UWEC; the classes are great, the professors are great, and the atmosphere is great.
Chalen
The types of students who do not like to participate in group activites. A lot of the work that we do for classes involves group work. So if someone doesn't like interacting with other students, it would be hard for them to really get along with group activities.
Victoria
There is a wide range of people who attend UWEC. I would encourage anyone and everyone to look and tour UWEC.
