University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Alex

The best thing about my school is that it really feels like home. The campus is beautiful and every time I walk outside I feel so peaceful. It is the perfect balance of urban and rural: not too urban (there is a lot of nature and forest), but not too rural (there is a large mall/city). I absolutely love it here and I would never think of going anywhere else.

The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire offers so many diverse opportunities, which is what I believe to be the best aspect of this school. There are a countless number of clubs on campus, and through each of these clubs there are numerous programs that are available for participation. As a freshman, I was given the oppotunity to go to an elementary student's house and read to him once a week. This is a wonderful experience for my major, and an opportunity that would not be offered at many of the other schools I considered attending.

The best part about going to school in Eau Claire is even though its a division three university, one can still get a great college experience in a big town. Not only is Eau Claire is located on the river but Eau Claire also has a wide variety of activities for students to enjoy. I would also say that I love how one gets personal attention in almost every single class. Last semster I took anatomy and had over 150 students in a lecture hall, but the professor got to know everyone of us.

Caitlin

The professors that I've had are interested in helping the students reach their goals. I think that is really important because students need to know that their professors are there to help them succeed.

Jessica

The professors at UW-Baraboo are always very helpful and comforting. The professors make the college enviornment more pleasurable and more relaxed. Instead of making you feel afraid or intimidated to continue on with your education they do whatever they can to help you succeed. In my opinion that is one of the best things that a professor can offer a student.

Briana

The best thing about my school is the atmosphere. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Sometimes I find that schools put on an act to be nice to you just so that you will choose that school and go there. I thought that at first with UWEC but they difinitely proved me wrong. Everyone is nice no matter what day it is. I love the way that the university makes you feel like you live in a cozy community. I also love how beautiful and safe it is.

Meghan

The best thing about my school is the professors. Every professor holds a high educational degree and is able to easily share their knowledge with their students. Personally, all of my professors truly care about the success of each of their students and willingly offer advice either in class or during office hours. When listening to and speaking with professors, their enthusiasm for their subject is evident. The faculty-- mainly professors-- at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is the best thing about my school.

Meghan

The best thing about UWEC is its subtle promotion of self-sufficiency. Through the strict academic instruction, countless leadership opportunities, job fairs, workshops, and motivational speakers, students are being prepared to compete in the workforce. I have found I am motivated to excel academically due to the many programs in place which have provided me with the necessary information about a career in my major. Having to organize a plan for my future and putting it into action has brought forth an independent and self-sufficent attitude that will aid any adult in trying to succeed in the current workforce.

Samuel

I think the best thing about my school is the level of dedication I see in students, faculty, etc. throughout the entire campus every day beginning with the day I first toured the campus. Everyone is ready to help you succeed at whatever it is you want to do.

Nicole

I like the campus because it is similar to my hometown-it has about 65,000 people and there is a lot of vegetation around. The campus is beautiful because it is next to the river, and the entire campus is like a park. It relaxes you when you are stressed; you can just go and sit outside on the campus mall and enjoy the warmth and sunshine in the spring and early fall. That is one thing I will always miss when I leave school.
