Evergreen doesn't have the best selection I would hope for when it comes to program choices. The programs become more focused in the later years (junior, senior) but for freshman it was difficult to find a program I was truly interested in. However, Evergreen does offer 2 or 4 credit classes that are more specific, so that solves the problem of wanting to take subjects that don't relate.

The program system is a good idea, but sometimes one can get stuck in a program that is not ideal for what one is interested in. It is important to know the professors.
Eric
The food services on campus, although there is one good place. Also, the amount of drama between students and staff.

The lack of "real world" skills, no technical education (too heavy on theory in certain programs), SEEMS CUT OFF FROM REALITY. The media department just spent a lot of money on a new media center, but they're still giving outdated workshops on HD cameras. My PHONE has an HD camera! They loan their few HD cameras out with much suspcision and care, as if they're RED cameras. They're proud of their new center and their "famous" media program, but it's laughable. You have to be a self-motivated to learn anything.

The ability of students to be uncommited to activites around campus
Cassandra
The worst thing about Evergreen is sometimes people think they are so open minded and progressive, that they close their minds to common beliefs and ideas.
Victoria
See the above and add academic counseling to the list.

The worst part about Evergreen is the cafeteria. Not a deep analysis, but in all practicality it is the thing I feel needs to be said. Prospective students, please heed my words: get an apartment with a stove; invest in a microwave; buy as few block meals as possible; anything to avoid making the trek over to the Greenery for mediocre foodstuffs. Not that a meal with friends can?t be tasty and fun, it?s just that the last thing you want is to be stuck with only block meals at a time when no meals are being served.

The one thing I have a complaint on with my school is the parking. I wish there were more spaces available and more information on car pooling.

Some students may require more structure and external discipline to succeed academically. For them, the inherent flexibility and autonomy of an Evergreen education may prove difficult.
