I love how WMU has a great balance of programs. They have everything from medical to aviation to teaching programs. Not only do they have many different programs, but most of their programs are constantly considered some of the top in the state of Michigan, if not the entire United States.

Western Michigan is a good transitional school. I was very used to a small town and it helped me adjust to "city" living easily. The campus is always improving and my best experience was with the professors I had. They were so passionate about what they were teaching that it actually made me consider teaching at a higher level once I had career experience under my belt. The school was immensely helpful in helping me find my path and making sure it was truly the right thing for me.

The best thing about Western Michigan University Is its size. It is a fairly large school so there will always be new people to meet. However, the college still manages to give you individuality, there are many student organizations, clubs and programs that student can join. This helps make the college feel like it was made for you. Everyone can find a extracurricular activity here. Its also a great way to meet new people and make friends.

i appreciated the ability to conduct genetic studies on zebrafish embryos. The lab experience was volunteer-based however priceless.

It's a great school in a great city. Kalamazoo is relatively plain, but there is something sticky about it that keeps me here.

I consider all of the student organizations to be the best thing because you can choose from so many and get involved! The student organizations are a great way to meet people, especially as a freshman. It is also provides a lot of opportunites for networking in the future and succeeding academically.

The best thing about WMU is that it's a pretty big campus, but it feels like a small campus. There are so many people and places that fit in with your interests and yet if you want to get away from all of that for a bit it's as easy as heading to the other side of campus. You really meet great people at Western and the facilities are magnificent for whatever you plan on going into.

I think the best thing about Western Michigan University is the level that they prepared me for college. Being from a small private school, I was intimidated about the idea of going to a school with thousands of students. But Western had many orientations and welcome seminars to attend, and each time I went I met new people and learned new things about the campus.

I actually have not attended school here yet. I'm going to be a transfer student this coming year for 2010-2011. But what I would say Iike best about what I've seen in my visit and heard from others is how great their psychology program is. They have one of the top programs in the state and I'm excited to experience it. Also, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. I just feel at home there.
