The Evergreen State College Top Questions

I believe the worst, and sometimes best, thing about TESC is that you get out of this school exactly what you put in. There is little help in terms of finding a career path, or academic advising, unless you directly search it out, or otherwise know exactly what you want to do. A little more guidance for choosing courses to match up with a career field would be helpful.

Little to no diversity in the students.

Very abstract and theoretical course material in many cases with not enough practical applications for future opportunities.

I dont think Evergreen always lives up to its "status" as a small personal school. Also I think it's really easy to get lost at Evergreen, sometimes you just feel like your not doing anything and that you have no purpose.

heavy drug-use culture

Nothing.

The inconsistent workload between classes of the same class credit value is sometimes a bit frustrating.

Our school doesn't have very good funding and it's hard to get into the art classes. I struggle with the system they use for getting into classes because it is not a traditional school.

Not focused enough on careers. Liberal arts degrees don't mean much these days. Make sure you know what you want when you come in.

People are too relaxed. The Students obviously are often lazy and unattentive but I also find many of my faculty are this way as well.
