Review of Central Washington University

from Ellensburg, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

I'm a running start student here at Central and the staff is amazing. There are small classes so a student gets to know the professor, and the professor knows them by name. This school has a great music and teaching program.

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

Depends on what you are looking for. This school has one of the top teaching programs and music programs. They are also an up and coming star in science. They'd like to compete with University of Washington, but I don't see their science program becoming that prominent very soon.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

I've heard some horror stories, but all schools have them. Most of the dorms aren't brand new. But, they are vintage.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

The only place i know for food on campus is The Cerc. Not very many options, but around town there is. Hope you like American, Chinese, Mexican, and Greek food.

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

Good school if you don't have a lot of money.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Music and teaching.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

They have a lot of clubs.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

No Greek life. No Frats :(

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

CWU takes safety seriously. I always feel safe on campus. The president of CWU even showed a documentary about rape at the beginning of the year. He was generally concerned with the epidemic of rape sweeping American colleges and seemed genuine when he said he'd take the right and necessary steps if this were to happen to anyone on campus.
