University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Jennifer

I wish I would have known which AP and College in the Schools credits transferred, and how many credits you can recieve for them.

Jessica

I wish that high school would have prepared me better for the challenge of studying and homework. I really did not have to spend hours doing homework in high school where as there is a greater demand for time management and hours in studying. Luckily, Eau Claire has given me steps and tools to adjust to this change.

Ganna

I wish I had known how to plan my study time before I came to this school. Also, I wish I had known that it is easy to get bad grades if you do not follow each professor's syllables.

Amanda

Housing availability and the resources that are actually available on campus. Also, how financial aid works and more ways to get involved around campus.

Abigail

The only aspect of UW-Eau Claire that I wish I would have known before attending here is how beneficial it is to have smaller class sizes. The maximum number of students I have had in a class is around sixty, and had I known how much of an advantage this is, I would have chosen Eau Claire as my college much more quickly.

mary

What I wanted to study. What people in the social work department were all about, they aren't bad people, I just would have liked to take the time to really make an informed decision about the people I would have to teach me.

Courtney

I wish that I would have been more prepared for the work load that I was coming into, but then again, this isn't high school. I think that I had lower expectations on what was going to be expected out of me, which now, im glad its more than i anticipated.

Matthew

I wish I had known that they was way too many opportunities to choose from and way too many thing you will want to do but cannot do because it would be too much.

Brandon

In my senior year I didn't know what I wanted to do as a career and thus I applied to a school and went undecided. I truly wish that I would have taken 1-2 years off before returning to school to get out in the real world, explore, and make an informed decision on my career path. I feel as though I was pushed because it was the right thing to do and now I find myself going for a second bachelors degree in the field that I know I will love,.

Ashley

I wish I would have known how devious the "hill" is. Im telling you it is such a great work out but will kill you at the same time. I also wish I would have looked more into clubs and scholarships available.
