Central Washington University Top Questions

Getting my textbooks is the most frustrating thing about my school. The textbooks that I need the shop almost never has, and when they do they are very expensive. They also take a long time to update their website, so by the time I can go online and order them they are out of stock.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the website. It is very unorgainized and I have trouble finding things on it all the time. It bothers me that I have to spend twenty minutes looking up the answer to a question when it should have taken me about five minutes.

The on campus housing and food plans are way over priced. Definitely live off campus as soon as possible.

At Central Washington University, perhaps the most frustrating thing is winter. In the winter, it gets really cold, and there is a lot of snow. In winter, you really have to make sure that you are wearing warm cothing, and it the cold temperatures can really get annoying when you are going to an early morning class, as that is when it is the coldest.

The way that the budget cuts are being handled. The students are being punished for attending higher education.

The most frustrating thing about Central is the lack of faith everyone has in themselves. A lot of people underestimate themselves and don't try as hard as they should. They skip class, don't pay attention, and drink and party most nights. It's frustrating to be learning with people who don't care.

The most frustrating thing about my school would be that there isn't a lot of different cultures. Also a lot the the kids going here don't understand how lucky they are that they can get help from family and wast their money in wrong ways as where people like myself and many others dont get any help from family and sometimes have a hard time paying to books, rent, tution.

The most frustrating things about my school is, that it is truly in the middle of nowhere and it snows in the winter. My biggest hobby right now is bicycle racing which requires me to ride my bicycle to train, made more difficult to do in the snow. Another frustrating thing about my school is that it's on the other side of the Cascade mountain range at the center of the state. Unfortunately most bicycle races take place in western washington.

So far it is the weather. Its getting very cold and blows a lot all year long.

Too many people and how much space there is on walkways.

I don't really have any frustrations with this school. I think it's a good school, it's a little easier coming in if you are a freshman than an upperclassmen transfer like myself.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the cafeteria size. I always have found it hard to find a place to sit and eat because it gets super jammed pack when it is lunch time or dinner time.

The most frustrating thing about CWU is the rising cost of tuition.

I would say that the most frustrating thing about my school is the fact that it is in the middle of nowhere. It is difficult to find fun things to do without getting into trouble in a small town like Ellensburg. Especially when you're on the budget of a college student. After being here for six months I feel like I've done everything there is to do in good old' Ellensburg. I wish the college would provide more opportunity for affordable outdoor excursions; or even movie nights. Fun activities that keep students out of trouble are always good.

The most frustrating thing about Central Washington University is the isolated location. Many students feel that there is not a lot to do outside of school in the Ellensburg area.

Ellensurg,WA is a very small town. There aren't any shopping centers, theres no night life. Everything in the town closes by 9 pm, and food services on campus close at 10 pm. Ellensburg can get very boring very quickly for people who are used to the city life since there isn't anything to do here.

I think the most frustrating thing about my school is everyone says it';s so easy to get into. It has really good programs, like business, theatre, and the science's, but anyone can basically get in from what i've heard. It seems like for such a good school we have really low standards for who can get in. Thats what i find really frustrating.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the size of the athletic center. At any given time, there are close to one hundred students there and it can be very hard to use the equipment that you need to use.

The most frustrating thing at Central is the slight racism that some of the students and local residents have. Those who are racists are rude and sometimes say inappropriate things. This frustrates me because I come from a multi-racial background and attended a very diverse high school.

I'm not someone who gets frustrated easily however one thing that really bothers me about this school is the way classes are scheduled. I am a mechanical engineer major and many classes that I am required to take for my major are scheduled at the same time. This makes it very difficult for me to finish all of my classes in four years. Now, because I took classes in the wrong order, my schooling is now extended to six years instead of four.
