Central Washington University Top Questions

The worst thing would probably be that the school is a smaller school and thus does not have the large spirit base that you would see from places like WSU and UW in the state of Washington. That is changing and it is hard.

The lack of Friday and weekend Campus Life events andother activities for students who live on campus.

Too much smokers.

I would say the worst thing about Central Washington University is gap in size and funds between the different departments. Departments such as Business, Music, and Science have newer facilities, more classes, etc. while departments such as Political Science and Languages seem to be more understaffed, offer fewer upper division classes, and are in older facilities. I think that there needs to be a more even spread of funds and professors throughout CWU.

The bad thing about this campus is that its not the main campus, so it can be hard when you are trying to get in contact with administrator fromt the main campus.

Everything on campus is great. The transportation system is the worst thing there. The campus isn't that big and getting around isn't a huge problem. But the bus system for getting aroung Ellensburg is a pain in the neck. Eburg isn't that big and walking isn't a huge deal. But sometimes, the 15-block walk to Fred Meyer is not very appealing-- especially in the snow. Everything on campus is great though. They just need to refine the Central Transit System so that it actually has a consistant schedule that makes sense.

The one thing at Central Washington University that I consider to be the worst attribute to the school is the lack of attention for the diversity. I feel that there are multiple students who are good at various things, and we have no real way of acknowledging them! There is a lack of communication between the school and the students. If a society fails to recognize its diversity, sometimes the brilliance of many is overlooked and poorly encouraged. The same concept works on the balance of a university, if not on a higher scale.

The worst thing about Central is the lack of excitement. If a person does not keep themselves busy, they may find themselves bored or even depressed. The reason behind this is the alone time people spend wishing they could be doing something else. The people who don't keep themselves busy, will be left behind by the people that do.

The organization of the Registrar's Office is sometimes wanting, but overall they're very helpful. It's nothing crippling. You just have to keep on them to find out your status.

For me the worse thing is not being able to take some of the classes offered because I am at one of it's university centers and not directly on campus. Sometimes I feel as if Ellensberg campus has more to offer. Which it does because it is the main campus.
