The attitude. Everyone is very relaxed, nonjudgemental, and laid back.

Torian

I came here for the music program, I'm a music voice major. The comradery found in the school of music is unlike any other department on campus. Their is a sense of community and friendship that you don't find in many of the other majors. The fine arts department is very unique becuase we are one of the rare schools that actually has an excelling jazz program. WMU turns out many professional musicians who go on to have great careers.

Lindy

The best thing about WMU is the size and location. Buildings are not too far apart, it is pretty close to everything a student needs (groceries, mall, movie store. etc.) The class sizes are good too.

James

The ability to find people who are willing to help. All over are people who wanna help, but just need a chance to get to you.

Jeffrey

The best thing about Western is how much other students are willing to help. A lot of other schools have students who compete against each other. At Western, we all try to help everybody out in class.

Will

The size of the school is just right. There aren't too many students to make the classes too large or the campus too full. The professors are also very concencious of the students and do what they can, when they can to help.

Cassandra

The best thing about Western is my advisors. I have changed my major this year after a lot of discussion and meetings with them. They were all patient and understanding and helped me to select the major that would make me happier in life.

Holly

The professors in the nursing program because they expect a lot out of their students and they are very encouraging and available.

Alex

I like the school spirit and the size of the the school. Everyone is friendly and likes to have a good time. Most people are career driven and have a good idea about what they want to do after they graduate. It is a fun atmosphere to be in and I would recommend the school to most anyone.

Beverly

The best thing about this school is that everything is almost in walking distance. If you want to visit a friend who is across campus it is about a 10, 20 or 30 minutes walk if you know where you are going and what is the quickest way.

Jasmine

The close school buildings

Sierra

The best thing about Western is everyone is there to help you. All the faculty and staff do all they can to make you feel comfortable and welcome from day one.

David

People are generally friendly and very polite to one another on campus. It is the people, faculty and students, that make WMU feel comfortable and safe.

Nadia

I like how the main campus is all in one area. Especially being a business student, all of my classes are located in the same building usually. It is an easily walk to and from campus and to any of the buildings on campus. It just sucks in the winter time

James

The Atmosphere of WMU is amazing, there is nothing better than going to a Division IA football game late and sitting in the front row. There is always something to do and lots of people to meet.
