I believe that CWU is best known for their education and music departments, as well as their staff. The advisors are very helpful and really care about where the student is headed. Each class is very personal and they really focus on the learning experience. Some classes are small and personal, but some end up being larger. The programs are very serious and are created to help students live their dreams and face the future with the proper knowledge.

In all honesty, I heard only three things about Central Washington University before I was accepted here for the winter quarter 2012. Number one rummor that I heard was that Central is the biggest party school in the state of Washington. Number two, is that it's a great school to attend if you want to be a teacher. Central Washington University was once a normal (teaching) school called Central Washington State University. Number three, Ellensburg is in the middle of nowhere.

VCU by name is best known for its basketball team and it's achievements in the most recent year (getting into the Final Four); however, as a school it is known for it's incredibly large number of attending students and urban environment.

One thing I truly think Central is known for is the fact that it's a great education school. I mean this in the fact that most of the graduating classes at that school are going or getting their teaching degree. After my Senior year was over I got askes where I was going to college, and when I said Central most of them asked if I was becoming a teacher (I'm not). I think it's a great thing to be known for. So many people want to help students become more sucessful, Central is just that.
