    Everyone is really friendly at UWEC. Because of the small size, it is easier to build connections with people - especially if you work on campus where you interact with many students on a daily basis. The campus itself is really beautiful, and the RAs in the dorms are always looking for fun activities for the floors to do so that college can be a richer experience for everyone.

    The campus is beautiful. The layout is very nice, and there are plenty of places to go to just be out in nature. The bike trail is nearby as well, so there is definitely something for everyone to do.

    I loved visiting campus! it has all the cute little quirks of a small town university but is large enough to offer you almost any opportunity imaginable. Plus it was voted Wisconsin's most beautiful campus and i have to say it's true!

    At this point, I don't know if there's any other school I would consider. Of course, being from Eau Claire originally, I might be biased, but now that I've gotten to knowing professors, using the library, taking advantage of all the facilities at my disposal--I've come to the conclusion that this college is probably where I'll be staying.

    The campus is great. It's nice and small and all in one area. Everything is in walking distance and if it is further away there is a free busing system! I met so many new friends and had a great time my first year. Not to mention, the campus is beautiful. There are many open areas where students lay and study and play games with their friends.
