Review of Western Michigan University

from Kalamazoo, MI

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The academics offered here at WMU are great. The school is not too big that it is hard to get individual help, but its big enough to teach you how to learn on your own and use the facilities the school provides as help. The student writing center and math tutoring sessions are each great tools to help you learn in your big lecture halls.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The atmosphere here at WMU is great. It's just the write size that when you walk around on campus, you always see a familiar face. The campus is a great size, where the farthest classes from one another are at most a 15 minute walk, as compared to some other schools. The extracurricular activities are numerous here, with something for everyone to get involved in. From Student Activities Board, to my a Capella group (WMU Broncords), to Humans vs. Zombies; the school offers a multitude of great experiences for students of all types of interests.

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

The price for the Bronco education is not too expensive. It's made very affordable with scholarships and financial aid available to every student.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

For future students, dont be afraid to get out and meet new people. There are awesome students here waiting to meet you with similar interests as yourself. The dormitories offer fun events for you to meet others who live in the same building as you, the Campus Activities Board sets up numerous activities such as Miller Movies for students, and theres multitudes of other clubs and groups for students to join. The experience here is what you make of it, and it wont be difficult to have a great time here in Kalamazoo Michigan as a Bronco.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students looking for careers in Music, Theatre, Aviation, and Business. We are one of the few schools to have an Aviation program, and our Fine Arts programs are in the upper categories in the nation for any of those looking to be a Profession Musician or Actor.
