I haven't yet attended, as I wil[l be attending as a freshman this upcoming fall. So far, there is a big hill that seems like an inconvenience.

The worst part about my school is the amount of hiking you have to do to get to main campus. It is a great work out, but it definitely takes a toll on you once you get to your final desination.
Lauren
The worst thing about my school would have to be the dependence of alcohol in social gatherings.
joseph
what I consider the worst thing about my school is the transition from an out of state student to an in state student
Jacqueline
Parking can be very difficult.
Beverly
The worst thing is the hills. The hills can be gentle to steep depending on where you are. During my first year, I had to leave about 30 minutes before class just to walk the hill that my dorm was on top of and the hill that the building my class was at.

I have only been attending the school for one week and have not found anything I do not like. The teachers are fantastic, the website and online learning is easy to use, the buildings are nicely kept and the tuition is extremely good for the academic standards the school maintains.
Jessica
I hate that it has several branches of campus all over Kalamazoo. I live on main campus but most of my classes are on East campus, a 30 minute bus ride or a 40+ minute walk.
Caroline
The worst thing abou the school was its disconnect from a downtown area. Everything in Kalamazoo had to be driven to, which was more or less a poor point. The campus was changing and improving during my last two years, so hopefully that has embraced more of a community atmosphere.

The only thing I have to complain about at WMU is the parking! It is fiendishly difficult to find parking sometimes. It seems with the amount I am paying to be here, I should have guaranteed parking. Don't get me wrong, WMU is my dream school and I absolutely love it here, but parking is terrible for commuting students as well as those living on campus.
Devin
The fact that the cafeterias close early on the weekends because it is hard to eat dinner before 6 o'clock.
Abbe
I consider the worst thing about my school to be parking lot restrictions for people who pay for parking passes. I believe that if you pay $300 for a semester to park, you should have more options available for parking. I understand if you don't have a pass, but if you do the authorities should be more lenient. Other than that, Western is GREAT!
Alyssa
The worst thing about school is the stress. I didn't expect it to affect me so badly, however, I struggled with keeping calm and relaxed especially around exam time. I learned to take time for myself. I started exercising regularly and made sure I had time to do things I enjoy.
erica
The worst thing about my school would be the landscaping. There are alot of hills you have to go up and down to get to class.
Sharon
The worst thing about my school is the weather. I personally dont like the snow or cold weather.
Danielle
Lake effect + hills = lots of long walks up hill in the snow! But hey, it's good exercise. Also, the Honors advising is a little lacking; but that usually doesn't interfere with graduation or finding classes. College/departmental academic advisors more than make up for it!
Jenny
The worst thing about my school is its reputation as a party school. While partying is frequent on campus and that is why many students come here, it is not why I am here and I don't like the reputation of 'Wastern' when it is actually a great school that is very pro-active, advanced, and does great research.
Emily
The worst thing about Western Michigan University was it's College of Education offices. When it came to signing up for classes, one advisor would tell you one thing, and another advisor would tell you something else. I felt communication could have been much better than what it was.
Jared
The worst thing about Western Michigan University is that there tends to be a high focus on research for the professors. This is only a big problem when you are taking classes outside of your major. When the professors are teaching you within your major it can be a great way to get involved early on in your higher education.
