Washington State University Top Questions

I attend a branch campus so the student demographics are not the same as those at the main campus in Pullman. About of my classmates are middle age adults who are either returning to school after a career in the military or another proffesion or taking individual classes to better prepare them for further promotions or job opportunities. The other half of the students fall into the more traditional college student mold. They range in age from 18-25 and enjoy the same things that students at other universities enjoy.

WSU is a public university, so it is expected for it to house students from differing economic backgrounds, religious backgrounds, social backgrounds and academic backgrounds. On a graduate basis, the university specializes in veterinary medicine, hospitality, business and communication. However, one over-arching theme is a sense of community. Pullman is a small town and therefore is tight-knit. Walking on campus people will say "good-morning" to people they have never met, help anyone having a problem and make a point to interact with other social groups. It is hard to say any student at WSU is a stranger because we all come from the same Cougar family. If you are concerned about finding a niche, don't be because there is a place for everyone.

Friendly and warm-hearted. Students are studying very hard no matter when there are exams coming soon or not.

Many of my classes are full of people certified and excited about their education which is helpful to my motivation as well.
