Western Oregon University Top Questions

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be that some of the buildings are older. This limits our wireless options especially in the residence halls. Another pet peeve about residence life is that there are few vegetarian/vegan options avaiable in the dining hall. Academically i find few pitfalls to my school the biggest is the academic advising really isnt helpful for the undeclared majors in the search for finding a major.

Western Oregon University is fantastic in providing enough entertainment, activities and resources to have a fun time at college, but the one thing that I find most frustrating is the town that it is located in. Monmouth OR is a small town that does not have very many places off campus to hang out at as a college student. Sometimes we as students need a break from the campus that we live, eat and breathe on throughout the week and it would be nice to have more local hang out spots for our students.

There are a handful of really great professors that go the extra mile and genuinely care about you and your success. Then there are a number of professors who are very flakey and inappropriate. There have been several times that my roomates and I have talked to our teachers or tried to get help with something and they have blown us off or not made time. Some of the support staff is the same way, self-focused and not very helpful. I also didn't find many of my classes to be challenging.

the counseling could be better,

I wish more classes were offered at more times. And I wish WOU was not a dry campus.
