The University of Wisconsin Eau Claire is the most culturally accepting place I have ever been. I have learned more about diversity, cultural and social differences in the 1 1/2 years I have been here than I have ever in my life. There is a huge LGBTQ society, as well as numerous different ethnicity organizations where people can join and learn about varying cultures. As a special and elementary education major it is immensely important to learn how to work with people of different beliefs, values and cultures.

The best thing about my school is the people. I have never been to a place where I feel such genuine friendliness from others who have a sincere interest in how my life is going. Professors go so far out of their way to help students, and students work together to accomplish the same goal or to help another student accomplish a personal goal. The way everyone is able to work together and create something beautiful is the absolute best thing about my campus.

The best thing about UW-Eau Claire is the amount of opportunities students have to further their education. Whether it being an on campus job, an internship with a fellow porfessor, or knowledgeable professors who want the best for their students. There is a never ending supply of intelligence at UW-Eau Claire.

The small class sizes more only allow a more open learning enviorment where civial discussion can be had, but it also allows you to make new friends more easily.

The best part about my school is the campus is the most physically active campus in the UW system. Not only are many students involved in sports, many lift/run for their own health and do outdoors activities like camping, hiking, and canoeing. It definitely helps that there is a big hill to climb to reach the dorms and cafeteria.

I consider the professors at this school to be the best because they give great attention to their students. The fact that for all my classes I have the professors teaching me instead of teaching assistants is really important. The professors are also very willing to help their students. Whether it is to go over homework, quizzes, or just carry out a conversation, I feel very comfortable here. The professors are always looking to encourage me to do my best.

The best thing about EC is it's friendly atmosphere. Everyone here is generally open, professors and students alike!
Sara
The best thing about my school is that it cares about their students education but also cares about equality and making everyone feel welcome. They want everyone to be equal and try to get everyone involved the best that they can. They have centers and clubs for everything.

I think I am getting a quality education for the price I'm paying. Wherever you go, you have to two options: to enjoy and see the opportunity, or to dislike it and see only the negative side. I've met some super friendly people and I've had some fantastic teachers and those are two things that will mean more to me in the long run than if I was one in a sea of 200 students being taught by a student assistant to the professor.

The best thing about my school would be the people. People here are very friendly and down to earth. Everyone tries to help each other out. The professors are very nice and helpful. The campus is beautiful and there are a lot of organizations you can get involved in.

The people are mostly friendly and it is a high quality educaiton. It is very diverse with many students participating in the study abroad program, and many foreign students come to study here. There is large focus on being environmentally-friendly and many efforts are made to "go-green." The professors are very knowledgeable in their fields and have great input into the lives of students. Also, there is a massive hill on our campus that allows students to incorperate moderate exercise into their everyday walking to and from class.

The best part of High School was the ability to be involved in numerous activities. Becoming involved helped to make me an experienced well rounded student and a valuable member to society.
Madelyn
I love that my school is very similar to my home town. My college is not too big and not too small. There is a huge hill that students need to take to get to thier dorms, and I love the hill because it keeps me fit.
Kristina
The best thing about UWEC, besides it being one of the most beautiful campuses in the U.S., is its separation between upper and lower campus. Lower is all academic, places to study, the library, and of course, academic buildings. On upper, it is a great place to socialize. All of the dorms, except two, are on upper. Theres a cafeteria, basketball courts, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, and even a place for dancing and playing pool. It is so relieving to go from studying and class on lower to upper campus and be able to relax and socialize with friends.
Allison
I love the fact that most professors are willing and able to help in any way they can.
Meghan
I love how upper campus and lower campus are divided. It feels like a big separation between school and social activites, which I enjoy.
Stephanie
Almost everybody at the school go above and beyond to be friendly. I remember walking around campus the first few weeks of school during my freshman year and every single person you would walk by would say "hi" and give you a friendly smile. Even during finals week, you can't go more than a few feet without having someone smile at you just to brighten your day.
Byron
The campus is beautiful. I love being in Eau Claire.
Stefanie
I consider the best think about this school to be the environment. Every one is friendly and helpful. It makes you feel comfortable and safe.

The best thing about my school is that it is alive and ongoing because I have attended another school through the a program here at the university and that school was completely the opposite of this school that I am attending now. I am so glad that my school is alive on the weekends and has tons of school spirit!
