Central Washington University Top Questions

There are many things that annoy me about my school, but only a few that are relativly unique to CWU. The biggest problem that I can think of is that every spring the students can participate in a 30 hour fast, and in doing so it is suppose to educate the students about hunger. This annoys me because afterwards the students wear t-shirts which say "I Experienced Hunger". The incredible arrogance that is required to think that they even have a remote idea about what true hunger is, is incredibly mind-boggling.

The worst thing about my school is that the weather is really extreme. In Ellensburg it can be single digit degrees in the winter and over one hundred degrees. However, classes are not cancelled unless the temperature is excessively cold, somewhere in the negative two digits numbers.

I would have to say the worst thing at Central Washington Univerisry would have to be that everyone knows everyone. You could be hangin out in the SURC (Student Union Recreation Center) and eventually someone will come up to you becauase they know you or the person you are talking to. Other than that I love Central i dont think i could have picked a better school!

I consider the worst thing about Central Washington University to be the fact that there is not a Masters Program. I will have to transfer to a different school in order to get my Masters or to go to Law School. I feel more comfortable in a rural setting but I will have to move to a big city.

I think the worst thing about the school is the location. I do not like that fact that the only entertainment in Ellensburg is Fred Meyer or the casino. It helps some people stay focused on their studies, but can push others to party incessantly. There are some campus activities that are designed to keep freshman entertained, but the upperclassmen have already experienced these and want bigger and better things.

I attend the campus in Des Moines, WA. It is an off-campus location, so for me I would say the worst thing would be that we do not have direct access to all the social events and work out rooms like the students do that attend the Ellensburg campus. Another issue for me is that I attend school at night and there is no way to microwave my dinner so I eat a lot of sandwichs. Otherwise I really enjoy my program that I attend at CWU.

The worst thing about my school is the segregation between students. For example if you are an African Americal male, you must play football. Or if you are or are involved in LGBT you are an exteme liberal or a "freak." I think that the student body should move more as a unit rather than individuals. Observing the hatred within my school is sad. There are not many bad things but if I had to choose one: the separation between fellow students would be it.

There isn't a lot to do at CWU in terms of social activities besides drink. A lot of activities that do take place off campus usually involve drinking in some way, shape, or form. It is rare if you go to a friend's house and you are treated to a night without drinking.

I'm disappointed that Central has garnered a reputation as a party school. Destructive parties seem to be the exception to the rule here, but the media loves printing stories about parties gone awry. Jobseekers take note: It's very difficult to find a job in Ellensburg. This is a fairly small town and almost 50{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of it's occupants are CWU students, so job oppertunities go fast.

The worst thing about CWU is the raising tuition cost. Each year everything gets more expense and we get charged for everything like graduating and completing an internship. I feel like all the money goes to building new buildings and making the campus look nice instead of focusing on improving education which is what should matter most. CWU is a school that focuses on appearance and how the school looks on the "outside" instead of focusing on the quality of education or the "inside."
