Central Washington University Top Questions

I brag about the successes of the football team and the variety of majors and undergraduate research opportunities that are available here at Central.

I brag most about the small class sizes nd the ability to really interact with each professor because of these small sizes.

Classes are relatively small, giving professors' ample time to interact with the students and provide more feedback. For both the Chemistry and Biology departments, there are great opportunities to work closely with excellent professors on independent research projects.

Ellensburg Washington has a beautiful campus that is spread out, but not so far that it's hard to find your way around. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful!

The school size, becasue I don't have to do a lot of walking everything is close by. The school is the right size not to big but not to small either.

The classes are not oversized and the professors are helpful. The work is not as hard as other colleges seem to be.

There is nothing much to do other than just focus on school stuff. There are fair amount of grocery stores, and you can live pretty comfortably.

Nice weather.

The snowy weather and going to Snoqualmie pass for boarding! The fun nightlife! Floating the river in the summertime! Going to the Gorge for concerts, and camping at Vantage!

When I brag, it?s always about CWU?s size. It?s big enough to feel different from home, but small enough to feel comfortable, focused, and friendly. My friends at other schools talk about classes of hundreds taught by grad assistants, but my class sizes are usually small and intimate. Professors care about their students here, and many even invite students to social events after class! I love having my professors know me by name and being able to walk to class and see several people I know along the way. I feel like a community member at CWU!

When I tell my friends about my school, I tend to brag about our music department. Being a music major, (it?s kind of biased) I do notice fundamental differences between other college's music departments and the one I attend. At Central Washington University, I tell my friends, the music professors care deeply about how you succeed as a student and what skills you retain. The motto at the school of music is "Central, where teaching is a performing art." This mindset I believe sets students up for success in their soon to be professions.

Its the perfect size of school. Not too big and not too small. It allows you to meet new people while maintaining relatively small class sizes that are productive in helping you learn and allowing for interaction between students, teachers, and teachers aides.

I tell them that even though it is a small town , or college town that's exactly what makes it what it is. I love the campus and the atmosphere of it. It's a small town atmosphere and you feel so connected to the town, it also doesn't have that huge of classes the biggest class I've been in was a class of about 75.

We have a rodeo team, its a gorgeous campus, not too big/not too small. Ellensburg is in the middle of the state so you can go anywhere in like 2 hours. Good clean town with a good community.

Too much to really pick one, I just love it here. Everyone that attends this school is either going to love it or hate it, depending on what you are looking for, not a big city school but is an awesome one.
