Best College in Eastern WA for diversity and inclusion. Lots of mini-food banks on campus and places to study in almost all buildings. The SURC is definitely the highlight of available resources that all students should take advantage of!

Wildcat Preview Day was fantastic. I found everyone to be extremely helpful. Nice campus and nice dining areas.

40年前の夏、在籍した大学のアメリカセミナーで提携大学のこの大学に短期語学研修留学しました。
滞在中、半分は地元ホストファミリー宅にホームステイ、半分は大学のドミトリーに寄宿しました。
ホームステイ中にはホストファミリー経営の広大な農場で巨大なトラクターに試乗させてもらい、つくづくアメリカの広大さに感動したのを覚えています。
大学の所在する緑豊かなエレンズバーグの街は、この大学を中心に広がるように街ができていて、住み心地抜群でした。
あれから40年、その後一度たりとも訪れていないので、当時お世話になった方々が懐かしく思えます。

Loved going to classes and cwu gave me a lot of skills most in my job do not have. Computer technologies/software, professional writing, . It has given me a large competitive edge.

Downside I had, was that most students lacked any interest in building community with each other. "I don't need friends" attitude. I do hope anyone coming in finds their people.

I also worked on campus as conference services. All the custodians were very nice to students and student staff.

I like the people there. I made some great new friends. I didn’t like how in between Winter and Spring break there is only like 6 school days off. Slightly over a week off. I think we need a good three weeks off or two weeks off at very least. Breaks fly way too fast. Also, I don’t understand why they charge double tuition in the summer. A lot of kids like to take the summer off and not take any classes. Is it because they have to make up lost revenues from people who don’t take classes so the school stays in business. Also, why do they only give a week between spring and summer classes? I will give credit to the school for having fun events like planetarium shows, movie nights, they had a laser tag event.

I'm a senior attending here (Lynnwood campus) for my bachelor's in accounting. Transferring from Edmonds college with my associate's was seamless.

I love the small/intimate class sizes. My classes so far have been 15-30 students/class.

Flexibility- they offer in-person and online classes to accommodate all learning styles. Great for full-time students who want the full college experience AND busy professionals who work 9-5.

The professors all have their unique personalities and so far have all been professional and straightforward with interactions and instructions. I did enjoy learning from some a lot more than others, but I learned nonetheless!

There's so many opportunities to participate in activities and causes so it's easy to integrate into the Wildcat community.

Financial- tons of scholarships and aid available! I'm not having to pay out-of-pocket for my bachelor's degree AT ALL.

My email gets flooded (figuratively) with internship/job opportunities related to my degree 👍👍👍

Email/text notifications are available to keep students alerted to important deadlines.

Advisors are SO helpful and on top of it! I don't feel like a number or another student in their "system." They are true advocates for helping students to reach their academic goals.

Diversity- CWU is extremely friendly and has a 0 tolerance for discrimination of any kind. I love that it prioritizes a respectful learning environment for people of all types.

I'm in the process of researching schools for my MBA that is warranting this review. I'm having attachment issues and wished CWU offered an MBA option. I sincerely wish it possible to continue my education through CWU.

My experience and quality of education received from here is way better than I ever imagined. For that, I am so thankful and cannot recommend CWU enough!

After moving my daughter and son in law to the state in June for my son in law to go to school at CWU. We went to the school store, school was not in session and there were no signs about paying for parking. The parking lot was almost completely empty. We were in the school store for maybe 15 minutes to come out with a 30 dollar ticket on our windshield . Went to the office and they were closed, called and put a request to have it dismissed. Now months later I get a bill for 67.60. Doesn’t university get enough money?!? I’d understand if school was in session and if there was a sign to pay for parking but there wasn’t an obviously one out there. I am shocked through this whole situation and how the school has been even when we got in touch with them right away.
