This college has a really gorgeous campus and a lot of fun opportunities that include floating down the river, a rock climbing course and beach volleyball among other things! Although I wish that there was more diversity throughout the campus, there are a lot of really amazing opportunities for leadership in diversity and equity clubs, along with other clubs and opportunities to help be apart of social change. The intramural clubs and sports have been really fun and UWEC has found a safe way for students to be involved in sports and activities during the global pandemic. I am a biochemistry major on a pre-med route and I have also been able to be a part of a lot of Pre-medicine preparation clubs and meetings, which have been very helpful in regards of what classes to take and where to volunteer to help me get to medical school.
I went to UWEC for my freshman year and half a semester for my sophomore year. Great school, beautiful campus, and friendly people. I think there could definitely be more diversity though. Most of my classes were predominantly white, Caucasian people and it was hard to find someone to relate to in my smaller classes. I would say it is a bit cliquey, although most people are open to getting to know others. They have a variety of food and a lot of them include Asian food, but the attempts by non-Asian cooks are mostly a miss. Not to worry though, there is pretty decent sushi to eat! The dorm I lived in wasn't the greatest, but it was manageable. If you live on upper campus, the hill and stairs are torture especially during winter. Many people would slip down the hill if it's not cleared of snow/ice. If you don't want to walk up or down, there is also bus transportation, but they get filled up quick during winter and it takes longer.
Hi! I am a freshman at uwec right now. The university seems pretty fine with their academics during covid but the student life is really lacking. Its incredibly hard to make friends and that can make school a bit of a drag... you're better off saving some money and staying at home for school if you can (this probably relates to everyone at school during covid). The dorms (specifically towers) are super nice so if you can, def pay the extra money to get in towers. food options are pretty good but again during covid things change. downtown is really fun, especially through summer into fall.
