Central Washington University Top Questions

The school has so much to offer. Its a perfect size for students that are afraid to move into a big city with a huge Univeristy. The surroundings of the this school are amazing. We have the Yakima River not far a way where you could rafting. The school it self is perfect. They have class rooms that are perfect size because you are able to have one-on-one talsk with the instructors.

I tell them that the cohort structure of the Elementary Education program at the Lakewood Campus makes you feel as if you are attending school in a supportive family environment. The workload is intensive, but you will finish with all of your coursework completed in six quarters and begin student-teaching in the spring of your senior year . This is an ideal scenario as you begin student teaching and gain exposure and experience exactly when principals are looking to hire new staff for the upcoming school year.

The weather in Ellensburg is always really pretty, statistically there are over 300 days of blue skies. The buildings here have history and stories to go with them. The Recreation Center has a rock wall that is accessible to all students as well as planned outdoor activities. Students have the option to live in Living Learning Communities which groups them with students that have similar educational interests. The professors are more the willing to go above and beyond to ensure that students are learning the necessary tools for their future.

It is a great environment to learn in because of all the help you can get on campus such as the writing center, math help, the huge library, and the teachers are really great. There are many events for help and entertainment happening weekly that you can check out all posted on different bulletin boards around the surc and other buildings. Also living in the dorms is a great experience because you meet more people and then your friends live right next door and the RAs are helpful always if you have any questions.

I like to brag that i can live away from home on the other side of the mountains, and i don't have to go home unless i want to!

I brag about the fact that the class sizes are well proportioned. The largest class is about 100 students so the learning environment is very personal and less intimidating.

When I tell friends about Central, I explain to them how both the campus and overall environment are very ideal. We have the perfect balance when it comes to class sizes, campus size, and rigor of curriculum. There are many opportunities through on-campus organizations, for students to apply themselves and find something they love to do and be apart of.

I brag to my friends from home about how wlecoming people are are how the class sizes are the perfect size to get personal help.

I most brag about all the help that is offered and the small class sizes. There are tons of people who are willing to help you , as well as different programs. Professors have office hours everyday and if they have a TA or GA they have office hours too. With the exception of one class i have never had a class size bigger than 35 .

I love the Central Washington University Student Union and Recreation Center. It is a very fun place to hang out, eat, shop, and have fun. Central also has a lot of clubs, intermeral sports, and many other extracurricular activites to participate in. I also like that even though approximately 10,000 students attend Central the classes stay fairly small for more one on one interactions between students and the professor. This way, a student can actually get to know the professor and can get extra help when needed without the professor becoming overwhelmed.
