Western Michigan University Top Questions

I am in the aviation program, so I'll say we are in the top three in the country in that program

GO BRONCOS!

Western is best known for being an aviation school.

We have many traditions that we take part in on game day for football and one in particular that we do every wednesday. We call it Western Wednesday and it is mainly sponsored by our Registered Student Organization (RSO) called Western Student Association which acts as our student council. All students have to do is wear Western Gear and show up at the flagpoles (a central spot on campus) usually between the times 12-3pm and they will receive free stuff! Every week is different, sometimes it's food, other times it is pins and chapstick, you never know but that is what makes it fun! Other RSO's join regularly in the fun and games and sometimes the location changes but it can all be tracked online and is easy to follow!

Tailgating is one of the most fun things to do at Western! On east campus where the football stadium is located, students, alumni, and even friends and parents gather together and tailgate before the games and it is a blast!

Western Michigan University is widely known as the party school. So very few people believe me when I say that I had no idea of its reputation when I applied.

WMU is well known for their education and aviation programs, though the music and theatre programs are also very highly regarded. Western is also known for the friendliness of the students and faculty, the great cafeteria food as well as having a great hockey team.

The Aviation Program is one of the best in the country. Also, the Imaging program is doing very well, and is offered few other places in the state. Alot of people also come to Western for Education and Medical degrees. Both programs turn out great prospective employers. There are also many great ways to get involved on campus, including an increasing number of RSO's. The class sizes are great. Most classes have about 30-40 students in them, whichs the students and trachers interact with eachother more.

My school is best known for having more than 300 orginazations that students can enjoy. You can easily meet new people and find new friends. When I first arrived here at Western, I didn't know anyone but only one person. Once I started classes and began to socialize with others, I began to me new friends and who knows, we may even be friends for a lifetime. This school is very diversed and it doesn't just celebrate one culture neither. Western takes the to time celebrate all other culture's as well. Makes every student feel at home.
