WWU is a college for students who are open to new ideas. Students who are not afraid of new and sometimes unusual things. WWU is a place for students who want to have fun without a sorority/fraturnity party atmosphere.

Western Washington University is open and enjoyable for every kind of person, especially those who enjoy Liberal Studies. Although it would not be fair to assume this, from my observation, I do believe that those who wish to attend wild parties with alcohol and such may not enjoy Western as much because Western students seem to enjoy spending time on outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, and other traditional sports rather than drinking and partying. Students from other schools have told me that partying is part of the college experience, but I enjoy my natural open-minded Western Washington University.

A person who is not comfortable with a large university shoud not attend this school. They school is large but students can easily find their niche if they are open to it. I would also say a person has to be dedicated to their academic work and have a desire to acheive success. Someone who is not willing to put in some hard work should not attend this school.

Western is a great school and provides many opportunities for the students, however a person who is instrinsically motivated would do better here. It is an absolute must that one seeks opportunities and establishes connections. All of the resources are at WWU, but a student needs to be proactive and have a plan. A student that expects the university to work for them should not attend here. Though the majority of people fit in here, people that are less open minded will not flourish in Bellingham. If you are looking for a greek system...this is not the place!
Edward
Someone who is unwilling to be openminded about different lifestyles, whether sexual, proffessional, or recreational. Also someone who expects to find a large and influential conservative base among the student population
David
A very politically conservative person. Also, a person that expects all large lecture classes where it is easy to:
Print lecture material, etc, and study on own without going to class.
Teresa
People who want to do pre-med or major in Korean? Those aren't available at Western. If your desired major is available at Western, then I can't think of a reason you wouldn't want to go there.
Nicole
Very organized and motivated and academic oriented. It ia a very academic school since we aren't a Pac 10 school we are more into the envirnment and into studies. It is a very hard school to get into and it is hard and cmpetitive.
Laura
The school seems to be fairly liberal and eco-friendly. If someone isn't like that then I wouldnt recommend it. The school has about 13,000 undergrad students so that could be too big/too small for someone. Bellingham also is a very rainy town, so if you dont like rain, then this isn't the spot for you. There also is not greek system at this school so if that is something that you want to get involved in, then Western isn't the right pick.
Tracey
Nobody. There is a niche in this school for everyone. Maybe someone who is super cloese minded shouldn't attend.
