The Evergreen State College Top Questions

Describe the students at The Evergreen State College.

Michelle

The students at Evergreen are some of the best and worst people I have ever met. In my freshman class there were a lot of people who decided to go to Evergreen because it looked easy and then they partied too much and dropped out. The ones who came to Evergreen for academic purposes and who worked and will continue to work and succeed are wonderful people. Evergreen is also full of unique and diverse people who for the most part are incredibly socially aware.

Jordan

Open-minded.

Vita

When I think of Evergreen State College, I think of music, experimentation, warmth and hospitality, a rain forest, everything and anything possible- the most eclectic student body in the country!

Lisbeth

Most of my classmates are unique individuals. They are very accepting of people that identify as another gender besides the typical "male" and "female" genders. They all come from different backgrounds and have a lot to contribute to the classroom setting. There are students that are considered freshman, but not the typical "fresh out of high school" students. They are persons that took a break from school, worked, and decided to return and get an education. My classroom is very unique in the sense that it is very diverse. You don't see a lot of that in college.

diverse and positive for the most part though as is the Tacoma campus is small and white is a minority.

My classmates are largely the privilieged caucasian children of the middleclass, though they are also largely open minded and open to expanding their cultural awareness.
