Western Michigan University Top Questions

The best thing at this school is fellow students and friends.

I think school spirit is a very strong point of my school.

The best thing is the diversity and large amount of social opportunities.

What I enjoy about Western Michigan University the most is: We have a learning environment that incorporates case studies, research papers; a high amount of team projects, which are used to simulate real world situations, and challenging work. The professors teach the material, but at the same time they also expect you to learn on your own, forming responsibility on the students end. My school surely has a competitive learning environment. On the flip-side Western also has a very thrilling party scene. This is credited to the hard schoolwork done; in general, we work as hard as we play.

The best thing that I consider about this school is that its not to big, its close to home and it offers a wide variety of programs for anyone and everyone.

Lots to do around campus.

There is always something going on; sports, music, shows, partys.

WMU is a medium sized state school so there are 5 diferennt colleges and a lot of things to do, a sourrounded by a great surbrerban area that is growing. Kalamazoo has lots of unique places and aspects to it that make socal life fun. but i think the best thing about campus is that it is small enough where no mater what day it is, when i am on campus i usually pass someone i know or have had class with, so keeps the morral personal and fun while at school.

The opportunities available to get internships and do things you wouldn't normally do. There are tons of organizaions on campus that provide opportunities to try new things

I like it's close proximity to things. It's less than an hour from home, two hours from Detroit, and two hours from Chicago. It's small so that it's not as large as U of M or MSU, but it's big enough that you're not stuck between two or three buildings. I really like the friendly faculty and staff; I never had so many people hold doors open for me until I came here!
