Washington State University Top Questions

WSU is possibly one of the best places on Earth. Unlike universities in Seattle the town cares and centers their lives around the school. It's something you can't explain to people who have never experienced this. It's like we are one big team, and every peer is your teammate. There is absolutely nothing around Pullman so when students are stuck here we are stuck here together. It forced us to make friends and become familiar with one another. If I could change one thing about this school it would be nothing besides the reputation we have. The school is just right in size, maybe a little to out in the middle of no where but that definetely has it's benefits. It is very in reach for students to get into contact with their professors and help is readily available. The school spirit here is amazing. I would not trade the feeling I get when I am here for the world.

I think my school is the perfect size for me- it's a larger campus but it's still small enough where you can always see people that you know. The great thing is that Undergraduates are not given the 'leftover' classes- they are clearly wanted and their are programs, organizations and professors are always there to help. The campus is beautiful and easy to get anywhere on campus in just a few minutes. The administration is focused on making WSU a better college experience, and are incredibly supportive. If you want an amazing feeling of community, then WSU is a great place for you! Not only are we loyal to our sports teams, it's not just about sports. There is a community here that is hard to define unless you're here.

Washington State University is a state, land grant university in Pullman, WA. The size is quite large to the point where you have to go out of your way to see friends sometimes, however, I like the size as it means that there is always something to do. I spend most of my time on campus but sometimes take trips downtown or to Moscow to eat if I can find a friend with a car. One thing I really like about WSU is the spirit. What I have found on campus, as well as among alumni, is that, win or lose, we will always support our teams. We take pride in being Cougars in sports but also in life due to the research and opportunities we witness and receive in attending school here.

Washington State is a Pac-10 research University with tons of departments for our academically diverse student population to choose from. It is located in Pullman, a city built around our large student base of around 16,000 undergraduates and world class vet school. WSU has more school spirit and pride than almost any other campus in the nation. You can go anywhere in the world in cougar gear and hear the friendly chime of "Go Cougs". The Palouse doesn't have the tamest winters, but the gorgeous summers on the snake river make up for it.

The best thing about Washington State is the sense of community that surrounds the area. People are so friendly and really make you feel at home here. People truly do care, professors too. The school is fairly large and I'd like to see it decrease in size a little. People's reactions are all different, however I don't care much, it doesn't make me any less proud to be a coug! I spend most of my time at my sorority house but have many homes including the library, the cub when it was open as well as my departments building. WSU is the definition of a college town. I love our administration, especially our President who constantly puts himself in the college community. I've met him a handful of times and he treats everyone like they're an old friend. Our sense of community and small town atmosphere create a huge amount of school spirit and I feel our school truly prides itself in character and integrity.

It is just the right size and is loacted in a small town which gives it that small town college feel. Pretty mucht he entire town revolves around Washington States Universit. There is a lot of schooll pride and many Almuni travel back for sporting events. Also the pride runs so deep that you can be in another state and if you are wearing something witht he WSU logo they wil come up and talk to you.

The best thing about Washington State are the cougar fans. There is something about being a cougar that brings people from all walks of life together. Cougar pride is definitely a big seller for Washington State. Also, the small town atmosphere really helps give Washington State the college town feel. And it forces students to stay in town and get to know each other instead of commute or hang out in a big city like at other schools. Owen Science library is my home away from home at school. It is the best place to study. It is quiet, close to my home and has all the right amenities. The one thing I would change are the way academic advisors are set up. For one, the advisors sometimes know a lot less than the students and screw up their schedules. And also, I don't think students should be required to go to their advisors before signing up for each semesters classes. I know many colleges who don't enforce this, and gasp...their students still graduate. Students always complain about the weather and understandable so. Washington State is not known for great weather. Sunny days are far and few.

I feel as though this school is a college town, because there isnt much around but college students, and the locals. There is not a lot to do out here on your free time. I feel as though the campus is just right, it's not to small, and its not huge either, i think it is a good size for me. There is defiently a lot of school pride and spirit, especially during football season. Its a time when everyone comes together as one to cheer on the cougs!! Many alumni still come back to watch the games and support their school and team, and that shows a lot. I usually spend most of my time at my sorority house. That is where i do most of my school work and studying.

I love WSU, it is my home, the people here are my family. I love the campus, but I hate the weather and the location, but those are both things that cannot be changed. I love how everyone is so friendly and it really feels like a home. When I first came to Pullman I was scared of what would happen or how I would adjust. People here are so kind, and I have definitely met some of my new best friends in my dorm hall. WSU is the best school for me.

The number one thing I'd change about WSU is the location, which obviously is impossible. I like the small town feel of where the school is though, it's definitely a different experience then living near Seattle on the west side.
