Review of The Evergreen State College

from Burien, WA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

One of the most eye-opening experiences of my life. I've learned about different types of people, and the importance of community. In my first class during fall quarter, my teacher gave us a book to read, showed us a film she made in relation to the book, and then we visited the actual place that it was based on. With evergreen, you learn through actions and words. I've learned that people often misuse both to gain power.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I have never met more open people in my life! These people accept me for who I am ! The atmosphere of olympia is completely relaxed and comfortable

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

Due to the economy, the prices of education have risen, but, evergreen is worth way more than they make you pay for. The food could be better, but the education and environment definitely makes up for it.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Visit as many schools as possible, even the ones you think you might not like. Make sure You are literally IN LOVE with the school before commiting to it. Don't be scared to take risks; you might find out a great talent or find a great friend! See who lives on your floor; they might be really nice! Also just for safety precautions, that way you know who lives in your building and who doesn't. dont be afraid to change, when you are at any age in your life, an opinion might drastically shift into something more positive. dont let anyone push you around or pressure you into anything that you dont like; if they do, then they are not a good friend and you probably dont want them as a friend.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

open minded ethical peaceful loving leaders people that want to make positive changes in the world. people that want to be judged by their character, and not by a number.
