People are nice here. It rains a lot. School is as easy or as challenging as you want it to be.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're coming to this school I would suggest you have a general, if not good idea of what you want to get out of this school. Similar to going to any school, if you don't have an idea of your end goal it will mostly be a waste of time. The difference between this school and most, is that you have a wide range of really great resources to use and people that want to help you.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Similar to what I said above, your education here is highly dependent on your dedication. In general there are easy and more difficult classes, but if you're looking to just stroll through so you can a degree in the end you're going to have a bad time.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I haven't lived in the dorms. I'm a transfer student, so I didn't have to. I have seen a bit of what it's like comparable I'm sure it's good, but I don't think anyone really wants to live in the dorms, unless you're into that.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is not a lot of choice on campus and it's basically in the middle of the woods, so eating out isn't much of an option unless you have a car and some time to spare. On campus there is one company in charge of food (their contract is expiring soon.) There is also the Flaming Eggplant on campus, which is a student run restaurant. It's decent, not sure what you expect from students. I eat there anyways because I'd rather support them than Aardvark(contracted food company).
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Olympia is awesome and so is the surrounding area. If you're into hiking and adventuring you're in the right place. It's also an awesome place for music. Plus Olympia isn't too far of a drive from both Seattle and Portland, both awesome places.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tuition here is fairly reasonable, super reasonable if you're a resident. It depends on how much you put in to get out though.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
Pretty much anyone really, it's that diverse. I don't know where it has the most strengths. I know it's big on media, computer sciences, other sciences like biology/geology/etc, art/design, literature, it goes on.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are a bunch of clubs doing cool stuff, and if there isn't just make one. It's pretty easy.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I assume this is talking about fraternities and that awful stuff. As far as I know, there isn't any of that crap going on.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The police are nice and stuff and we have emergency posts everywhere. Also the fire station is right down the street.
