The best thing about my school is that they offer a variety of majors, minors and courses. If they don't offer the class or major that you want a future career in, they will do what they can and give you other similar majors that can get you to that same point.

The best thing was the way professors cared about their students and how they learned.

Diversity! Diverse student body, faculty, and programs; and they even have a flight school!

The best thing about my school is that it helps students who travels on the bus. If you do not have a car, you get to travel on the bus for free. The bus fare is included in the school fee. When you travekl on public transportation, all you have to do is show your school id. Sometimes, you have to travel to more than one campus. They have buses the bring you to the different campuses they have. In addition, if you live on campus, their buses will drop you off at home.

I consider the best thing about my school to be the people. I have made some of the best friends in the world, and I never feel judged when walking around the campus. I never feel as though I am not good enough, and if I ever need to ask for help, I know that somebody will do so. Everyone is ridiculously helpful and friendly, and I could not have asked for a better first year, with (hopefully) many more to follow.

The business college has great programs for all majors as well as having professors who know what they are talking about. The use of technology in the school is encouraged.
Paige
It is just big enough to have as many oportunities as you need to succeed, but not too big to where you feel like your drowning in people. I also really like that it is located in a larger city, lot of opportunities for off campus jobs.

Western Michigan University is in a great location that allows students to be self sufficient, have fun things to do, and a great college campus for students to feel welcomed. Also, the Kalamazoo Promise helps under privelaged kids chances to attend Western Michigan University for FREE!

I'm sure many students feel the same way about their schools, but what I really think is important about Western is the fact that we want to do projects that help benefit our community. By helping the community, they return the favor by helping out its college students with jobs, discounts, and fun activities.

I love how WMU has a great balance of programs. They have everything from medical to aviation to teaching programs. Not only do they have many different programs, but most of their programs are constantly considered some of the top in the state of Michigan, if not the entire United States.

Western Michigan is a good transitional school. I was very used to a small town and it helped me adjust to "city" living easily. The campus is always improving and my best experience was with the professors I had. They were so passionate about what they were teaching that it actually made me consider teaching at a higher level once I had career experience under my belt. The school was immensely helpful in helping me find my path and making sure it was truly the right thing for me.

The best thing about Western Michigan University Is its size. It is a fairly large school so there will always be new people to meet. However, the college still manages to give you individuality, there are many student organizations, clubs and programs that student can join. This helps make the college feel like it was made for you. Everyone can find a extracurricular activity here. Its also a great way to meet new people and make friends.

i appreciated the ability to conduct genetic studies on zebrafish embryos. The lab experience was volunteer-based however priceless.
Nicholas
It's a great school in a great city. Kalamazoo is relatively plain, but there is something sticky about it that keeps me here.
Abbe
I consider all of the student organizations to be the best thing because you can choose from so many and get involved! The student organizations are a great way to meet people, especially as a freshman. It is also provides a lot of opportunites for networking in the future and succeeding academically.
Dustin
The best thing about WMU is that it's a pretty big campus, but it feels like a small campus. There are so many people and places that fit in with your interests and yet if you want to get away from all of that for a bit it's as easy as heading to the other side of campus. You really meet great people at Western and the facilities are magnificent for whatever you plan on going into.
Hilary
I think the best thing about Western Michigan University is the level that they prepared me for college. Being from a small private school, I was intimidated about the idea of going to a school with thousands of students. But Western had many orientations and welcome seminars to attend, and each time I went I met new people and learned new things about the campus.
Chelsea
I actually have not attended school here yet. I'm going to be a transfer student this coming year for 2010-2011. But what I would say Iike best about what I've seen in my visit and heard from others is how great their psychology program is. They have one of the top programs in the state and I'm excited to experience it. Also, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I just feel at home there.
