I love my experience at UWEC so far! When I was struggling with my major Freshman year, I was able to take advantage of resources that the University provides to explore different career ideas. This helped me choose a better path for myself and I couldn't be happier! I've also had the opportunity to take some interesting courses that have taught me more about the LGBT community, which will help me to be a more inclusive and understanding employee in the future. I was also able to take advantage of the study abroad program that UWEC offers and had an incredible experience! The only complaint that I have is that the dorms were tiny, outdated and very expensive for what you get, but I only lived in them Freshman year and now live off-campus.

My professors were great people, but the department wasn’t diverse enough in academic foci for me. Honors Progam is ok but not great. Campus and area are incredibly boring. Fitness center classes were awesome! Dorm bathrooms are disgusting and dorm rooms are the smallest I’ve ever seen. No dorms being offered at all to anyone but Freshmen next year. Obnoxious!
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is considered Wisconsin's Most Beautiful Campus and definitely lives up to its name. The university provides numerous housing opportunities and has ample scholarship opportunities. The school also provides opportunities for internships, business and marketing expos, and study abroad programs. The school is very focused on promoting diversity and acceptance of all students and does its best to make all students feel like they belong. The university employs many experienced professors who work hard for their students and helps them excel in their fields. Overall, I loved my experience at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
