WSU has become my home away from home. The people are great and you truly feel like you're part of a family (I recommend going to the football games if you don't feel this way). The only bad part is the cold weather, so be prepared!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
It takes a lot of courage to make new friends and become part of new hobbies, but it's worth it. You will find amazing people who will be there for you no matter what.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes require a lot of concentration for a lot of students. For me, classes required a lot of time and participation but if you actually care and are interested, it easy to get an A.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
You'll always find someone you don't like, but you'll find so many more that you'll love. This is my second family! I got lucky and my randomly-assigned roommate became one of my new best friends.
HOWEVER, unless you are looking for a workout to get to class everyday, I suggest getting a dorm in Northside! (The people on Southside are cooler though)
Describe the food and dining at your college.
You get sick of the food after a few weeks. It's get when you need a quick fix or are truly craving some bacon and waffles, but the fresh fruit and vegetables, and grocery options leave more to be desired. Once again, it seems North side has the upper-hand on this.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Hang out with friends, hike, explore the areas (like cliff diving), parties, football games. Anything you want you can find you just have to look for it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It's expensive getting home because I live on the opposite end of the state. The classes are fine, the dorms provide a lot of what you need, and they give away a lot of scholarships.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Outgoing, sports-oriented, outdoorsy types.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Our safety is some of the best in the state, I believe. If you need the police there are emergency stations a minute away from you at all times. There's even a police force on campus.
