Review of The Evergreen State College

from Graham, WA

Describe your college in three sentences.

You can't summarize this college in just three sentences. This school is unlike any traditional style college; to quote it's website: its new and different, dynamic and relevant. The best things about this school; there are no grades, all classes are interdisciplinary, its student-centered, and the sense of unity and collaboration is unmistakable.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be open-minded and allow yourself to fully embrace in all this school has to offer.

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

This is really up to you. You receive the amount of credit you earn. Put in half the effort earn half the credit.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Personally never lived on campus but the location alone is full of possibilities. I've never heard a foul word about life in the dorms.

The Flaming Eggplant Cafe is a must in dining experiences. It is student-run uses organic locally grown food with seasonal inspired dishes with several vegetarian and vegan options.

Countless clubs and groups to get involved in. 1,000 acres of forest accompanied by ocean shoreline and countless activities available for pretty much anything you can imagine.

Too many to count, and if you can't find it you can create one.

Never felt unsafe nor heard of any dangerous happenings on campus.
