There is something unique in the diversity of Central. Most of the students are from Washington, but from every corner so there is a nice range of ideas concerning important ideas to our state such as politics and agricultural. Central provides a healthy forum for people to express their views and opinions without the threat of ridicule or some sort of persecution. I have personally experienced many great discussions in classes with people I wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to debate with.

It's a smaller University in Central Washington which allowed me to continue to live in my home town and still be within commuting distance.

The Centers, that put on programs for the students to educate them, and how friendly each Center is to helping students.

My school is unique to me because it is so close to home. My family is in the process of a family crisis, so being close to home AND going to a four-year college and getting that college experience is really important to me. Also, Central Washington Univ. is small enough to where my peers and I have great school pride and spirit. Other schools around here are big schools, like Washington State University and University of Washington, who have great school spirit, but not in the way my small town college has.

Central Washington University has the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. All of the buildings are made of brick and each season is quite beautiful on campus. This school is in the middle of a small town named Ellensburg in the middle of the state, Washington. Personally, I think it is interesting and unique that such a large university thrives in such a small town. Central is a well rounded and diverse school with many excellent programs and staff that wants only its students to scuceed.

This school offers a cohort program. I attended with the same group of 22 students for the entire degree program. It was a great way to make friends and work collegues.

When I was applying to schools, I e-mailed many advisors to have my many questions answered about psychology programs. Central Washington University's advisor was the only one that e-mailed me back. I knew then that they were the school for me. They focus on all students even if they are like me and prospective students.

This is a very welcoming and comfortable campus. I'm a small town kind of girl, so I love that class sizes are smaller here and that you feel more like a person than a number, like in many other schools. It's nice to walk through campus and recognize your fellow peers, while still having the freedom to branch out and meet new people, make new friends and experience new things. I have fun here at Central, and actually look forward to going to school, so I would definitely recommend this university.

The amount of outdoor activities are astounding here. From fishing and hunting to wakeboarding and snowbaording. Amazing hiking and backpacking are also available.The smal town with a larger school in it is a different atmosphere than any of the other schools that I considered going to. This provides a fun environment as a lot of the town is geared toward the college demographic.
