Review of Central Washington University

from Olympia, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

CWU is a pleasant surprise in a small town. It's a beautiful campus with quality classes and professors. Aside from the wind, it's an awesome school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Prepare for the wind! And bring some snow boots as well. Other than that, just know where you're going and enjoy everything Central has to offer! Not enough people take advantage of the amenities.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

If you are truly invested in your education, the professors will make sure you are learning what you need to be prepared for your careers.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

It is what you make of it. The older dorms aren't the most comfortable, but they have some charm to them, and the dorm community is always welcoming and great for making friends.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The meal plans and discounts are awesome. They have two main dining halls that are full of different and delicious choices. I've never had an issue with the food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There are always campus and dorm events if you pay attention. There is also rock climbing, open mic, close to skiing, and downtown is a cute and fun place to adventure around.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Every college seems expensive, but CWU is one of the cheaper universities in the state and you really get a lot for your money. It's a wonderful campus with professors that really care about their students' success.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

The campus police are always nearby and there are police-call stations all over campus. Even walking at night is peaceful and safe feeling.
