Central Washington University Top Questions

The wind. It is constantly blowing and when it gets cold it just cuts you to the bone. Honestly other than that I don't know whats not good about CWU.

Because I don't have much to complain about, the only thing that really can come to mind is not having enough weight lifting room. The SURC gym and Nicholson Pavilion are always packed with people, so it can be hard to get a weight lifting workout in if wanted when working with a class schedule.

The worst thing about Central Washington Univeristy is the lack of good professors. Unless you are an education or music major you are not likely to have a good professor. Their are a few that you will really learn from but most of them just expect you to learn the information on your own and understand without any help or guidance.

To me, the worst thing about my school is the weather recently. It has been very cold, wet, and snowy these past couple of weeks and that has been a bummer, but all in all, if thats the worst thing I can think of about my school then I would say that overall it isn't that bad.

The worst thing might be the weather here. The university itself does not have many negative sides in my opion.

I think that the worst thing about Central is the fact that it is not a smoke free campus. I understand its a big campus but I should not have to breath in second hand smoke while walking to my classes.

The worst thing about Central Washington University is that many students aren't made aware of the opportunites on campus. There are many great organizations on campus, but freshman often don't hear about them or ignore the opportunities and that can lead to them disliking their academic experience here when if they had been educated about the possibilities, they would have had a far better experience and a much more fulfilling one.

In my opinion, the worst part of my school is the lack of school spirit. I think this is the worst thing about my school becuase there aren't many students who seem too excited about the school they are attending to. To make students more enthusiastic about their school, sports, clubs, etc, there needs to be more spirit such as the marching band going around the school, school mascot around the campus everyday, and so on.

As a new freshman I have experienced very little of the pros and cons of my school. However what I have seen and heard through others leaves me to think that the worst thing about CWU is the low quality teachers they refuse to let go. Despite a wide range of complaints there are several teachers failing 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} or more of their classes without reprimand, a complete disadvantage to students who need the credits or don't have the money to take a second class.

The worst thing about Central Washington University is the city. For students who are outgoing, Central might be located in a boring city. The surrounding of the school is small and not much to do. But within the actual school there is many activities to be involved with. The school itself has nothing bad about it and have nothing for students to complain about.

The worst thing would probably be that the school is a smaller school and thus does not have the large spirit base that you would see from places like WSU and UW in the state of Washington. That is changing and it is hard.

The lack of Friday and weekend Campus Life events andother activities for students who live on campus.

Too much smokers.

I would say the worst thing about Central Washington University is gap in size and funds between the different departments. Departments such as Business, Music, and Science have newer facilities, more classes, etc. while departments such as Political Science and Languages seem to be more understaffed, offer fewer upper division classes, and are in older facilities. I think that there needs to be a more even spread of funds and professors throughout CWU.

The bad thing about this campus is that its not the main campus, so it can be hard when you are trying to get in contact with administrator fromt the main campus.

Everything on campus is great. The transportation system is the worst thing there. The campus isn't that big and getting around isn't a huge problem. But the bus system for getting aroung Ellensburg is a pain in the neck. Eburg isn't that big and walking isn't a huge deal. But sometimes, the 15-block walk to Fred Meyer is not very appealing-- especially in the snow. Everything on campus is great though. They just need to refine the Central Transit System so that it actually has a consistant schedule that makes sense.

The one thing at Central Washington University that I consider to be the worst attribute to the school is the lack of attention for the diversity. I feel that there are multiple students who are good at various things, and we have no real way of acknowledging them! There is a lack of communication between the school and the students. If a society fails to recognize its diversity, sometimes the brilliance of many is overlooked and poorly encouraged. The same concept works on the balance of a university, if not on a higher scale.

The worst thing about Central is the lack of excitement. If a person does not keep themselves busy, they may find themselves bored or even depressed. The reason behind this is the alone time people spend wishing they could be doing something else. The people who don't keep themselves busy, will be left behind by the people that do.

The organization of the Registrar's Office is sometimes wanting, but overall they're very helpful. It's nothing crippling. You just have to keep on them to find out your status.

For me the worse thing is not being able to take some of the classes offered because I am at one of it's university centers and not directly on campus. Sometimes I feel as if Ellensberg campus has more to offer. Which it does because it is the main campus.
