Washington State University Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend Washington State University?

Alyson

Someone who is not very motivated shoult not attend Washington State University . At this university you must be determined to do well in your classes or else you will fall behind and your grades will suffer. Washington State is a very social place and there are many things that go on here that can be distracting. A student who is motivated will be able to balance their schoolwork as well as their social lives.

Jordyn

A person who is straight laced and is looking for a totally academic experience should not attend Washington State University. The environment is often energetic and enthusiastic about sports and other extra curricular activities.

Amanda

This is definitely not the school for city people. This is a rural, college town, which is about 1.5 hours from a big city. During the summer and school holidays, there is rarely much to do because most of the activities are put on by the school during the school year.

Mariam

The type of people that should not attend this school are people who do not appreciate studying. People who do not care about school are just taking that opportunity from people who actually care. Also it is just a waste of their time and money.

Allyson

People that attend this school need to understand how to balance socail life and school. They also need to be aware that it is time to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. My university is well known for being a "party school" It is true that the socia network here is very strong and that there are a lot of opportunities to become distracted from school work, The university offers great help for those struggling and anyone who attends needs to be confident in the resources provided.

Francesca

This school would be very hard for a person that is used to the luxuries of urban city life especially if they are a minority.

Robert

The school focuses on Communications, Engineering, and Agriculture, so people not interested in those have slim pickings. Though almost any type of person can find a niche at WSU.

Since I attend the vancouver campus, there isn't a great amound of social opportunites. If you're looking to go to college for the "dorm room-college party" expereince you won't find it here. The students here are commited to learning and very focused on getting a job after graduation and making better lives for themselves. There is an empahsis on academic acheivment and research at this school

If you like the san fransico/ seattle liberal side, this probably isn't the best place. However, if you are career oriented and want to get a strong degree in science, agriculture or buisness you will probably do well here. There is only one mall near by and entertainment must be sought out rather than provided. Also- you shouldn't come here if you're not comfortable in -10F weather or driving in the snow. :P
