Class selection is the best thing about my school. I would say any class you would want to take, you can at Central. The classes are small and intimate, which means you get the attention you need from the proffesor to earn a good grade.

Central Washington University has a very welcoming community of students and faculty that genuinely value each person in attendence. Because Central is a smaller school, the student body is more like a family. The atmosphere promotes learning through professors that are teaching because they really enjoy it; and, the forming of strong friendships amoung the student body through the leisure programs offered daily in the student union building and the diversity of edcational programs.

As an incoming freshman who was very apprehensive about attending college, I think the best thing about CWU is their freshman integration program. They provided many opportunities for incoming freshmen to explore the campus, meet current students, and ask questions of faculty members and upperclassmen. Then, once we'd arrived at college, they had a "Welcome Weekend" in which we attended countless seminars to learn about college life and mingle with other freshman, allowing us to build friendships with other students before classes started. There are also Living Learning Communities which help students connect with others who share similar interests.

I think the best thing about CWU area. Like I said it's in Ellensburg, the country side where its away from the city. Being in this area give so many people an opportunity to try new things. Mostly outdoor activities is what is mostly done here. Even in this area people just dont know what to do, but workout and thats not a bad team. I have never seen so many people running around, and thats not in the gym its running around campus and all over Ellensubrg. Ellensburg is close by to the mountains, that means snowboarding.

The best thing would be how relatively small the campus is; it just gives a small community feel to the campus.

The best thing about Central Washington Universitys campus is the atmosphere! Everyone here is so nice and so welcoming that it makes your freshmen experience amazing! I am currently a sophmore this year and have tons of friends! I hope that all the new and incoming freshmen can have the same freshmen experience that I can.

Without a doubt, the best thing about Central Washington University is the class sizes. Central has fairly small classes, which allows the students to get to know each other better. As a result, students are able to support each other more and learn from each other, and not just the professor. Of course, the students also get to know the professor better, which results in students being able to ask questions more often when needed, and they have a better grasp on the education they are receiving by knowing exactly who is teaching them.

The class sizes are great, and the professors are great for the most part. Very willing to help and advise.

You get the best of both worlds, A larger insitution of learning, but a smaller community. The area does not appeal to many city kids growing up, there are only 3 major grocery stores here in town, and very few places for additional shopping. There are some smaller stores. But if you need any larger ticket items, you need to drive the 45 min to Yakima, or the hour over the mountains. Plan accordingly. Other than that, Its a nice area for people who like to be outside. That being said, bring good summer clothes, and a heavy jacket.

I consider the diversity of my school the best thing about it. I consider it the best thing about my school because it makes me feel like I belong. Everyone belongs here. No one is out of place. It doesn?t matter what race, religion or the beliefs an individual has. Central welcomes everyone.
