Why did you come to UW-Eau Claire?

I decided to come to UW-Eau Claire after touring the campus. I fell in love with the beautiful campus and the small, interactive class sizes. In addition, all of the faculty and support staff I met were very nice and helpful. I knew I would fit in well here. Lastly, I thought the size of the college was perfect. I wanted to go to college somewhere that was big enough that I didn't know everyone and yet small enough that I felt comfortable and welcome. I wanted to go somewhere where I knew I could get help from my professors if I needed it. I also wanted smaller classes as I feel they are more engaging and educational. Overall, everything I wanted a college I found at UW-Eau Claire. It was perfect.

Why did you pick the major you selected?

I have always been interested in the business world and felt accounting was a major that I could do a great deal with. I thought the major would open up a wide variety of opportunities and career paths for me. While I feel public accounting is right for me at the moment, it is comforting to know I have many other careers I can do with accounting if it turns out to be a wrong fit.

How did the College of Business prepare you for success?
