Western Washington University Top Questions

Getting into the class you need before it fills up.

I am not willing to move to Bellingham so I commute to WWU two days a week from Camano Island. It is about a one hour drive and uses up more fuel than if I were to live on campus. Why do I choose to live in my home town over the beauty and life-filled Bellingham? Simply because I'm tied down (married).

Nothing really. The fact that i'm pretty busy? That might be a good thing though.

The most frustrating thing about my school is that there are only 10 minutes between all of my classes.

There really isn't anything I am frustrated with about my school. The only frustrations I have encountered are due to my parents and I have differing views on whether I should run track here.

As with most schools, there is a crawling, glacial institutional memory on campus with respect to student initiatives. Many projects neccesitate more than 4 years to accomplish, so most of our local aspirations are ineffable without constant freshman recruiting. Many a project was fallen to the wayside when its student leadership graduates and moves on. My group's ambition to erect renewable energy producing anaerobic digesters on campus to partially power our university is subject to the peseverence of inspiration and influence of the incoming students of Western Washington University.

We had to get rid of our footbal team because the school culd not afford to have it anymore.

It is very hard to graduate with your degree in 4 years. Many classes have prerequisets that cause you to take more than 4 years of class.

The most frustrating thing about my school is how pushy people are with their opinions. If you don't agree with them they villanize you and try to push their ideas onto you.

As a double-major I encountered many problems with the Registrar accomodating my amount of credits per quarter and every quarter I had to battle them explaining my situation. The other frustrating aspect is the political situations in some departments, however this is something prevalent in every college and in every job-so it was a learning experience.
