I chose UWEC because it represented everything I wanted in a university. The size is great, the campus is clearly defined, and it is all very aesthetically pleasing. Beyond that, there is a real sense of community on campus and in the city. I couldn't find all these things anywhere else I looked, so it had to be UWEC!
