Washington State University Top Questions

The school is great. The food is pretty good. The students are nice and the faculty is helpful.

I love this school. Ever since i was in elementary school and came up to the campus i fell in love and it has really come through with my expectations Washington state. Although there may be some professor that are not my favorite, it would happen at any school. I am very happy with this school.

its located in a small town out of no where fun quite place for study and have fun at the same time all students are willing to help each other Pullman college town the school is big the students always complain about tuition a lot of concerts

This school is awesome for the close community built among the students and the faculty working for the University. Students seem to almost always have a network of connections spread all over the campus. The school size is just right and has integrated very well with the surrounding city of Pullman with a populous of 20,000. I spend most of my time in the Engineering building, where there are students working all day and most of the night. There is a lot of school pride, and even though our football team has not done well the last few years, we are all excited to see what our new head coach brings to the school.

I think our school is like a big family and every student is regard equally. I am an international student here, and I usually get many benefits from many international workshops. Also, here are many free services, like free tutoring, free printing...which make us feel good.

There is a strong sense of community on campus at Washington State University. There are many on campus activities for freshman and upperclassmen throughout the year. Being a large state school it is easy for individuals to get lost in the mix and to easily feel like a number, rather than a valued, contributing student. WSU has a well known reputation of being a party school and as such the educational qualities of the school are often downplayed and looked down upon. Pullman is definitely a college town, as the majority of its residents attend WSU. Being such a large school it is harder for students to find personal, less generic experiences in the classroom as teachers present to hundreds of students each class. The university's staff and administration are individually all very nice people, but the current economic crisis with funding have painted them as a whole in a negative light. The school's president is a very nice, attentive man who cares about student concerns but as a student it is difficult to constantly hear about department that are being cut or raises in tuition. Nevertheless, school pride runs rampant in Pullman. People are proud to be cougs, despite out less than satisfactory performance in sports, and you will always see people wearing the school colors on campus. There are multiple coffee shops on campus and in downtown to study, my favorite is Zoe's.

Washington State University believes that it strives on it's motto "World Class Face To Face" In the four years I have been at Washington State University, I have still yet to see that world class come through. Financial aid believes in delivering a hard time to anyone out of societies norm, asking for rediculous, not available and no such thing papers to straighten out a mess that financial aid mis-interpreted and made a big ordeal out of. The administration is nothing to be dealt with, so if you don't absolutely have to speak to someone higher than a proff (including program offices such as the Chem office for example) don't do it. It's just a waste of time and they don't listen anyway. And the alumni center, stay far far away. They wouldnt want you to make a mess out of their expensive vases and tasteless flowers now (only the vases are made of cardboard or styrofoam) Washington State does however do a fairly well job of snow removal in the winter time and cooling in the summer. Very electricly wasteful though sometimes. I never spent any more time anywhere on campus than I had to. The sororities and fraternities are just like you see in the movies only this greek system doesn't need alcohol and drugs to make themselves look like asses. They do just fine on their own. I have not once seen a sorority girl being anything but rude to someone different, bigger, or less 'refined' than them. All sorority girls hang out with their cookie cutter images. Wait.... just about all of the cookie cutter, balimic, gotta have my Prada bag girls seem to click together. And for the guys, well, they aren't so bad, except they are all meat heads who are drawn to the cookie cutters every move. To be honest, i was scared to be on campus. I was once told (by a reliable source) that 96-99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of all sorority girls have had, are on meds for or currently have a STD.

The school claims to be diverse. Racism is worse in Pullman than any otherp place i have lived. Worst of all, the majoriy of whites (dominant group in pullman) beleive the place to be diverse and racism free

Construction on campus is not well organized for people to still get around campus during construction. Beautiful country and lots of activities in community to do.

The thing I love most about Wazzu is our pride. Everywhere you look on campus students are wearing crimson and grey. Our athletic teams are performing very well and the games are packed with fans!
