Central Washington University Top Questions

I wish i had an idea of what i wanted to major in before i came to school here. If i had known what i wanted to do i could have gotten started on my major classes right away and not have to pack them all in at the end of senior year next year. I would have been able to take more interesting classes freshman year and been able to take more general education classes to lighten my cours load with all of the unpper division classes i am taking.

Before I came to school, I wish I would have known that I shouldn't be as trusting as I am. I came to Central with the expectation that everyone I met would be like people from home. I am from a smaller city where most people knew everyone else, my graduating class was about 180 and I was very naiive believing that I would run into other people who would help me the way people at home help eachother. For the most part people here can be very helpful, but they mainly look out for themselves.

To be honest, Central Washington University has been a very satisifying university. There is nothing that threw me off guard before attending, and I have enjoyed my experience so far. I am doing online schooling through CWU, so my experience is different from many other students, but the advice I would wish to tell upcoming online students would be to never be afraid to contact your professor if something comes up with an assignment. The professors are very flexible, and very helpful.

Before coming to Central Washington University, i wish i was informed about all of the available scholarships that the school had to offer. That way i would not have had to pull out loans to help pay for my education. I would also have like to known that everyone here also didn't really know anyone else, so making friends wouldn't have been a thing to stress over. It took me a couple weeks to establish a good friend base. and now i am content with the people i know. That is what i would have liked to known.

I wish I had known that going to school with two little ones needs support. I wish I made sure that the school had support services for low-income families.

I wish i had known how to get more scholarships before entering school because i am in alot of debt now.

I have not yet attended the school but i will be transferring over there

Central Washington University does a good job advertising all of the benefits of attending and I knew all of the pros coming in. Once I got here the only negative was the location. A university housed in a small town is not exactly stereotypical. I wish I knew that the only way to have a fun night is to spend money at a bowling alley or a movie theatre.

I wish I had known that tuition would be going up next year, and that I wouldn't have qualified for any grants based on my FAFSA report. Even though my family has secured a loan through our credit union, it is still a big financial impact on our lives, especially on someone like myself who has no credit history.

I wish I would have known more about the Pre-Nursing program, and how there is a lack of a nursing program.
