Published on:
Intro text

For the fifth consecutive year, the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire has been named to The Princeton Review’s annual list of best regional colleges in the Midwest.

Sections

The Princeton Review’s “2025 Best Colleges: Region by Region” lists 631 colleges in the Midwest, Northeast, South, Southwest, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, West and International zones that the national education services company considers “academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search.”

UW-Eau Claire is one of four Wisconsin public universities on the list of 151 premier colleges in the Midwest, and one of just six public universities among the 24 listed from Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The Princeton Review list is based completely on student survey results.

Among the comments from UW-Eau Claire students were:

  • Eau Claire is a “great college town” where “campus life is awesome.”
  • “The dorm life here is amazing and very community based. Each hall kind of has its own theme, so you get to meet people of similar majors and get advice from seniors on which classes to take, how to plan out your years at college, etc.”
  • There are “so many” study abroad programs and “astounding graduate-level research” opportunities regularly available to hundreds of undergraduates.
