Eastern Washington University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Nicoel

This was my number one school of choice. I want to be the best Dental Hygienist I can be and this is the school to go to. I would not change anything about this school.

Max

I wish I would have known more about the living situation on and off campus to be able to find the best deal. Also, I would have liked to know more information on scholarships through out the year that are offered.

Alexis

How long it would take for the website to be up-to-date and how to read a map.

Shelnila Chin

That the math program is terrible.

Jason

The tremendous value of extracurricular activities. There are so many things to get involved in while a given student may be inclined to focus on academics alone.

Brittney

Before I came to this school I wish I would have known how to use my resorces better with finding ways to pay for my schooling. I wish I would have applied for more scholarships because in reality if you are claimed as a dependant by your parents you do not receive as much financial aide. For me I am personaly responsible for funding my college education and they do not take that into consideration when deciding how much financial aide I will receive for the year.

Carli

I wish I would have known where to find the information to rush for sororities, If I would've joined a sorority my freshman year, it would've been a huge help in meeting new people and fidning out important information about campus.

Shelah

I wish that I had known better how to access accommodations for disabled students.

Eastern does not offer a large or very accessable network of scholarships. Most universities have specific employees that students can talk to about that, and can guide you in the right direction. The financial aid program here isn't very well developed, and often students get thrown under the bus because of office errors or disorganization. I've known numerous students who have had to take quarters off because the school didn't get their loans or financial aid straightened out before class registration.

Lindsey

How much running start would have helped me.
