Eau Claire is so friendly: students, professors, townsfolk. I thought I'd be transferring after the first year, and when it came time to decided I realized I really didn't want to. So, my professors helped me find a way to stay.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get in Honors if possible: class priority and free printing are HUGE! Also, try not to leave your roommate up to chance.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This really depends on classes. Honors are easier in my opinion since class size is small and the professors trust more.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
This might be because I got a really weird roommate I don't exactly get along with and the basement is a little sketchier than the above ground. Bathrooms are a bit outdated but overall dorms are MUCH better than commuting.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
They don't offer that much variety when it comes to breakfast. Hot breakfast also doesn't begin until 10 am on weekends. They have a decent assortment of healthy options including vegan and such. The lower campus meals taste amazing but aren't healthy and the upper campus are pretty good.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are a lot of things going on. There's school sports, intramural sports, so many clubs I couldn't name 1%, events, a hang out with pool and such, free group fitness classes (highly recommend Zumba). Then dorm wings have events too and Eau Claire actually has a lot going on.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For the amount I paid so far, I'm getting a great education and a lot of random perks.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The high ropes course looks amazing.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Eau Claire is mostly for teaching/English/childhood/performance kinds of majors if I'm being honest. However, I'm going for criminal justice and psychology and I guarantee you I'll have no issue getting into a graduate problem. Study abroad program is strong. So are the ties and connections this school has.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Greek life is kind of weak, but there are a lot of clubs/group/activities.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Have it, but everyone really ignores it.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
I've never had or seen any problems. Stay off water street and use common sense and you'll be just fine.
