Western Michigan University Top Questions

The dorms are outdated. More students would be interested if they looked nicer.

Parking

The weather in the winter.

More Culture driven is something that comes to mind just because I feel that there should be more cultures from other countries here to really spice up the campus. The university does have it's fair share of culture but to pass by a student from Japan and then one from like Africa would be greater to just see all around campus.

The lame "social activities" they try to coordinate (especially in residence life) that seem like they were set up by your parents in an effort to be "groovy," but completely failed. They're never really social because they're forced and very awkward.

It's all pretty good

A lot more drinking then I would like

One of the worst things about the school would be that the professor's and TA's had very specific office hours and were typically impossible to get a hold of outside of those hours. It got to be really frustrating when you had a problem and couldn't get help for it.

The worst thing about my school is the openess of alcohol and drugs. Many students spend all of their spare time and weekends drinking. It is against the law but they do this openly. Drugs are also widely used and available. Sometimes it appears that there is more of an emphasis on these two factors among the students then how important their classes and grades are. I am glad I do not fall into this group.

The worst thing about WMU is that there are some major issues with the education department and education building. This is a big deal because we are highly known for our education program. Some of the major issues include not being able to schedule for classes on time, not being able to meet with advisors in a timely manner, and at times having unhelpful advising sessions.
