 " CWU is fantastic, it has just about everything you could expect for a pleasant college experience. Every now and then you may encounter a strange professor or a less-than-pleasant student, but you cannot really avoid that. The school has many clubs, activities, and well-funded facilities. All this comes in a nice, small-town feel with a similarly sized price. Overall, I very much enjoy this school and what it has to offer. "

 " Really great university to study at! Lot's of choices for the students, whether it's classes or general activities, sports or even studying abroad. It's a beautiful main campus, however the town is quite small. I think it's very easy to make friends and there are also a lot of really cool International students that study here as well. There is also a lot of wonderful teachers here, I really enjoyed the different language classes that were available, along with the marketing classes. Advisors can also be really helpful here when trying to plan out your major and specialization and trying to study abroad to other countries as well. "

 " Fantastic University!! Since coming here as a transfer student I've been learning so much from the professors here on campus. They not only teach from a boring textbook, but have you do fun, informative projects that help you for real life. Not only that, but the students are so inclusive and the clubs/activities are so much fun for the average student to participate in. I wish I could stay longer and gone here for a full four years.

 " As an online student, I didn't attend any on campus activities, though the online classes have been great, the professors are overall wonderful, and the school is inclusive and welcoming. For those interested in an online program, I'd recommend ensuring you are organized and a self-starter as enrolling for classes online and ensuring you are taking the classes needed for you major/minor is your responsibility.

 " Pretty good for central Washington just need more diversity in faculty, students, and staff. As well as more help for students who are first generation or POC since the majority of the school body is white. "
