The Evergreen State College Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Caitlin

This school is SO accepting of different lifestyles. The students are provided with great opportunities to work in their related fields whether it be lab science, medicine, political science, psychology, arts, or anything really. The classes are small so there is a ton of one-on-one time with your faculty if you want. Working in groups is a really big part of the structure, as is what is known as "Seminar" to which two entire buildings are devoted, where faculty mediate discussions about class readings and assignments.

It gives you a lot of freedom to control your own education. It fosters creativity, community, and learning.

Tamara

Its Environmental research, studies , sustainability and field work. There have been a lot of breakthroughs at Evergreen regarding the Environment. Also, it is known for its unique form of organization. Evergreen is known for a great of things, I first heard it reffered to as the "Hippie College". The local community (exluding people involved with campus) generally looks down on it, but apparently the further away from the college you get the more people like it!
