WMU is best known for putting its students first. It is committed to helping its students save money, while earning a degree quickly. Each student who maintains a 3.0 or greater GPA in their first year will receive a $500 scholarship when they return the following fall. Western students who stay on campus, room and board costs stay the same for all four years. Academic advisors move the students smoothly and quickly through their degree programs, ensuring the courses are available to prevent delays in completing their programs.

My school is best known for its teaching program and engineering programs. We also have Aviation which is the third in the nation! It is also called Wastern, which is a horrible nickname.

My school Western Michigan University is best known for the College of Aviation. It is ranked top three aviation programs in the nation. Western does not only offer courses in aviation but it also give students the chance to experience flight training. There is one-on-one instructor training and students get a well rounded education as well.

My school has one of the best aviation programs in the country.

I think my school is best known for the sporting events. I can remember coming up to watch them when I was in high school and it was always so much fun and sucha good time.

Western Michigan University is best known for its alcoholic consumption from those stranger to its welcoming campus. But it is my belief, that those who find a home here on these now familiar grounds to myself and others, will recognize it for its close community atmosphere. Western Michigan University has small to medium sized classrooms, friendly staff and students, campus activities, student involvement, and has spent much time putting resources into their residence halls atmosphere (along with thoroughly training their resident assistants). Western Michigan University is best known for its community and the way you feel at home on campus.

I would say our school is best known for its engineering college and the performing arts department.

The engineering and aviation programs are stellar compared to other schools. Of course we're known to through some ridiculous sorority and fraternity parties. Also, the jazz program is also another department that has distinguished WMU from other schools. Most universities don't have an adequate school of music.
