MacKenze

My classmates are mostly average young adults that feel college is the next step towards their desired career and a successful life.

Alissa

My classmates at UWEC are very interesting. They are always cracking jokes and having fun in the classroom. Everyone here is really nice.

Everyone just gets along really well.

Each one is different than the next.

School, compared to your professional career experiences, is very similar in that the people that surround you and who interact with you make you into a great person.
