Central Washington University is best known for it's teaching program. It opened up in the late 19th century as a teacher's college and Central still is best known as just that. Most students come to Central to persue their teaching dream, like I have come to do.

I believe that CWU is best known for their education and music departments, as well as their staff. The advisors are very helpful and really care about where the student is headed. Each class is very personal and they really focus on the learning experience. Some classes are small and personal, but some end up being larger. The programs are very serious and are created to help students live their dreams and face the future with the proper knowledge.

In all honesty, I heard only three things about Central Washington University before I was accepted here for the winter quarter 2012. Number one rummor that I heard was that Central is the biggest party school in the state of Washington. Number two, is that it's a great school to attend if you want to be a teacher. Central Washington University was once a normal (teaching) school called Central Washington State University. Number three, Ellensburg is in the middle of nowhere.

Central Washington University (CWU) is best known for its amazing music department. CWU produces some of the best music educators, musicians, composers, and other music related careers. The school has a great faculty that will go to great lengths to help musicians obtain the highest levels of excellence. The atmosphere is amazing for music and the university makes sure that the music department keeps its funding. In addition, our bands, orchestras, and choirs perform at the highest levels of excellence and perform at some of the major state and national competitions for those groups.

Central Washington is best known for its academic success. I thought to myself and realized that if I attend a college with good academic reputation I could be successful I whatever my career choice is. Knowing this made me want to come to this university. Also Central has a nice and clean Student Union Recreation Center (SURC) were student go for breakfast and lunch. On the northeast entrees of this building it has a well set up weight room with various activities and leadership programs a student can enroll. The SURC is the place where many students can get involve.

VCU by name is best known for its basketball team and it's achievements in the most recent year (getting into the Final Four); however, as a school it is known for it's incredibly large number of attending students and urban environment. It' location in downtown Richmond makes it a bustling campus for students to enjoy numerous shops, restaurants, etc. In addition, because the number of students is so large, there is a wide variety of students in terms of race, personality, and major.
