😠 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 minute... People often mention school, university, people, classes, students,

    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.

    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!

    CWU is such an incredible and amazing campus. Lots of growth since I graduated, but still has the small town feel. Go Wildcats!

    As the moment of time frustration brings out joy as I grew up in United States military academies of boarding schools I seen the modules in me that I knew the wildcat is still with me as each and every day I celebrate by myself I know I'm a great judge from Central Washington University I wish I was in the campus but I made my own campus is my education moves mountains I know the modules I read is so special that now it turns to applications of cartoons to my eyes could see more verilage source the way I judge people each and every day I know I am who I am because the modules of life a special force I'm still here with you it's becoming a jag meaning a judge Advocate General to the armies of many kind I know I'm top boss to Texas as some people don't understand where they're at that's okay cuz San Diego I know you're holding down in a great way thank you for your time and thank you for your representatives towards us each and every day my lawyerness is with you at the time is near everything will be okay as I pass many drugs to become medicine of soap and oils we see our body is changing and that's a beautiful thing thank you for everything The time I wear my red is just a red rope and a kindness of your heart...

    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.

    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.

    40 years ago in the summer, I went to this university, which is a partner university, for short-term language training as part of the American seminar at the university I attended. During my stay, I spent half of my stay with a local host family and the other half of my stay in a university dormitory. During my homestay, I was able to test drive a huge tractor on a vast farm run by my host family, and I remember being deeply moved by the vastness of America. The green town of Ellensburg, where the university is located, was built around the university and was extremely comfortable to live in. It's been 40 years since then, and I haven't visited even once since then, so I feel nostalgic for the people who took care of me back then.
