Central Washington University Top Questions

It's in my hometown.

The best thing about Central-Pierce County is the feeling of family and connectedness you have with your fellow students and professors becuase of the opportunity to take every class together, frequently taught by the same small group of professors. Because everyone is striving to achieve the goal of becoming a professional educator, you are surrounded by students who place a high value on their education and serve as a support to you as you pursue your edcuational and career goals.

Central Washington University has a very good campus life. As a small school in a not very big city, the students can meet each other very often. The living and learning communites (LLCs) and resident halls are quite close to each other, therefore, it is very good for the student to meet and discuss about their classes. Because of the small area, it is very convenient to walk through one building to another building.

The best thing about Central Washington University is the location of the school. The school is in the perfect spot; it's not too long of a walk to go to the grocery stores, or anywhere in town because the city itself small. Then from my hometown of Shelton, Ellensburg is only a few hours away, whereas other universities would have been four hours or more of driving, and to me that is too much driving to go home and see my family! Another aspect of the location would be the mountains being only an hour away for skiing.

There is support for new and experienced students everywhere. It seems like there is a never ending flow of resources for any question you might have, and all faculty members are helpful and willing to guide you.

The one thing that I consider the best out of my school is that you get amazing professors who care for your grades. Here at Central, you get smaller classes where you can sense an environment of learning, and not feel like you are watching a play in a never ending theater. Here teachers care that you succeed, they tell you that you can come and see them where you are stuck. Teaches know you by your name, not by a number. Here teachers willingly work extra time with you to help you when you are in need of it.

The best thing about Central Washington University is the people. The teachers have so much compassion towards their students and really want them to succeed in life. They go over and beyond in every area of their teaching. I love that CWU is small enough to get to know my peers and classmates. I have built many relationships that will last a lifetime. I meet new people almost every day; whether it be at school, church or one of my many extracurricular activities. Lastly, I love the community. They are so welcoming and thankful for all of the college students.

The best thing about Central Washington University is that I can call it home. I have met some of the most important people in my life here, and I feel completely comfortable with my surroundings. Also, there are so many opportunities available for me here that I would have never explored if it was not for all the effort that the people put into it to make it known. I really appreciate what Central does for us to make sure every student feels safe and happy to be here.

I consider the best thing about Central Washington University to be how much the faculty and the community supports the students, helping us in any way they can. The faculty are very understanding and want to work with us in order to give us the best education possible.

The best thing about my school is how small it is for a state college, and how easy it is to get around on campus.
