Western Michigan University Top Questions

The worst thing about the school would be the community that surrounds it. There are things to do outside of campus, however the things to do dont amount to much, simply for the fact of its location. Its a average town with average expectations. Nothing to much nor to little.

My least favorite thing about my school is the hassle to receive financial aid. My two older sisters attend Michigan State University so it is obvious that we need student loans to pay for college. Western Michigan University's financial aid office lacks the necessary employees to help you find any loop holes to receive more money. It's often that I'm not sure how to pay rent on my apartment or find enough grocery money, so the lack of help from financial aid money is hurting my college experience at Western Michigan.

Some of the professors are foreign and very hard to understand.. From my understanding, other universities don't have too much of a problem with this. It makes many subjects difficult to understand.

For me, the worst thing about my school is that the budget for the performing arts is lower than I'd like. As a vocal performance major, it hinders my personal study that we only do one opera a year in the music school, and cannot afford to bring in as many guest artists for master classes, etc as other larger programs can.

Out of hand partyers who get too drunk and make a mess in the streets and generally just cause trouble.

The professors with thick accents that no one can understand. The subjects are already hard to learn let alone try to learn them from someone you can't understand.

The buildings could use remodeling.

Some classes have too many people in them and the lectures are confusing.

The worst thing about my school is that it is not in a warm climate, but hey its still november and 56 degrees!

Undergraduates focusing on just passing classes and the majority not reaching out to extra cariculars or outside personal learning. I for one have been verry involved with school activitys but as a jounior now, i want to reack out to do more learning for my carear.
