The small class sizes. Large lecture classes are at most 375 students, but they're usually about 180 students. These large classes are for lower level classes you take in fresham year, so by sophomore year your average class size is 80 students. History and English classes are always fairly small, as well. 60 students maximum.

Western Washington University is located in Bellingham, Washington which is a wonderful town that's just the right size with great access to Seattle and Vancouver, B.C.

When I tell my friends about my school, I mostly am bragging about the beautiful campus and fantastic people who also attend. I love western Washinton and the people at WWU are so welcoming, kind, and helpful!

I am most excited to tell people that I go to a school that has a variety of options for people to get their degree in. There are many not common majors as well as ways to combine two majors that are not commonly linked together, or you could even design your own major. I came into Western planning on majoring in education, but changed my mind to double major in history and recreation with a minor in art history. I was very excited to see that I could still accomplish this in four years!

The people that attend there are completely inspired. WWU draws a certain type of person to it, one who is spiritually open minded and inclined to hope. Somehow we keep pretension to a minimum. Everyone seems to be curious and very much alive. The honors program in particular seems to boast this. We are encouraged NOT to pick a major until the end of sophmore year, allowing us to drift and find new things that interest us.

Western Washington University is in a breathtakingly beautiful location. The bay and nearby Mount Baker offer opportunities for endless recreational adventures, and it’s incredibly easy to get plugged into activities and clubs on campus as well. There are numerous volunteer opportunities for people interested in education, environmental studies, health, and any other number of majors. The professors and advisors are eager to assist students, and the students are welcoming and diverse. As an intimidated freshman, I was pleasantly surprised at the ease with which I transitioned to life here at Western!

The school I go to is in a beautiful location. I look out my window and see the bay and seeing the sunset is a normal part of my day. There are various places to hike, and all of them are spectacular. Waterfalls, the Puget Sound, foresty areas. I have only been to a few, but there are so many places to explore in the future and that's something great about my time.
Shayla
I mostly brag about the beautiful nature I am surrounded by. On top of Western's wonderful academic profile, it is surrounded by beautiful scenery and a lot of recreational options. I love the outdoors and I love education! So, having a two-in-one deal with Western is marvelous. I am excited to attend this University this fall. I look forward to being a part of its academic and physical lifestyles.
