Central Washington University Top Questions

The only thing I can think of that frustrates me at Central Washington University is that some of the professors are from other countries and are very hard to understand most of the time. Although I do not question their intellectual level, their ability to teach successfully is greatly decreased because they have very heavy accents, which isnt at all their faults. I do not have anything against these professors and still strive to do my best in their classes. It's just that the learning experience is slightly more frustrating and it's harder to understand some concepts.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there aren't that many places for wireless connection. You can only get them in the main area's that students are. You cannot get it in the dorms or in some of the class buildings

The most frustrating thing about the school would definitely have to be the professors. It seems like we get a lt of new proffessors every year and some of them dont really seem to know how to teach very well. Now don't get me wrong there are some amazing professors here, but it just seems like every single quarter I have had a new professor that isn't quite sure how to run the class.

The most frustrating thing about Central Washington University would have to be the cost of tuition along with the ability to find a job here in Ellensburg, WA.

The most frustrating part about attending CWU is that they give you lots of grants for your first year so that you will come to their school and then nothing your second. So you have to be very creative in finding ways to pay for school outside of your school department.

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of information regarding how to join school clubs. I would very much like to be affiliated with a club of my interest, but am unsure of how to acheive this. The school website is so full of information that to try and find any information is like searching for a needle in a haystack. I am not even aware of the different clubs that are available for me to join.

I often feel that the resources in the surrounding area are not sufficient to my needs. While this is somewhat of a given with a small school like Central, Ellensburg does not always have what I need or am looking for, so I often have to do my shopping online. Luckily my hometown is not too far away, so I finding what I need when I do go home is usually what I need to do.

There are not much to do other than school. There are many restaurants but it's not much fun after a while.

Not all the teachers are avaliable when you need them, or care enough to be helpful for questions you have.

there were some scheduling issues due to lack of faculty time for some classes.

The staff is very frustrating, they don't seem to know much about their jobs.

Lack of communication and knowledge on the department (financial aid, study abroad, etc.) is extremely frustrating. No one knows what they're doing, and they won't bother to ask someone for help. Some faculty, in my opinion, should not be teaching - particularly English professors who don't bother to proof read their own handouts. Some faculty are uninterested in being helpful or aiding students who are having trouble in their class.

The most frustrating thing was probably trying to interact with my academic adviser. They are hard to get ahold of. But the school has been working on fixing it.

Sometimes students don't know about events b/c everything is word of mouth and that's frustrating when you live off campus. Oh and that rugby is not a varsity sport is super aggrivating

The weather. The majority of the time, its windy or snowing. But when its nice out, it is nice out!
