I do not know much about the campus life of Central Washington University, but as for online schooling a person needs to be very self motivated if they want to attempt online classes. You have to be extremely dedicated. Assignments are usually due everyday meaning you need to be online checking your course everyday. It it not like the actual campus life where you spend time in lectures with few assignments, or where it does not matter if you do not show up for class for a few days.

I believe that any type of person should attend this school. Just make sure that you are ready for school and all the styudying time it takes to get the best grades. One would be much more satisfied with themselv es if they just stay focused for the time in school and then take a breath when they have graduated. All the students that I encounter are very nice and helpful and we all want the best for eachother, then again we are all trying to be teachers so naturally we have helping attitudes.

Joshua

The kind of person that should attend Central Washington University is one that should love the outdoors. Hiking, biking, snowboarding, skiing, kayaking, and camping are just a few of the activities you can participate in while attending the University. Here at Central there are significantly less students in attendance then when compared to one of the larger state schools. This creates the small town community feel here on campus. So the kind of person that should attend this University is one that not only enjoys the outdoors but wants that sense of family community as well.

Whether each student prefers to take notes using their laptop, pen and paper, or mental notes, they would feel comfortable and confident they are receiving an education, and not just attending school.

The kind of person that should attend this school is pretty much anyone. I've witness this school changing people's lives. Using myself as an exmaple, when I came to this school I was outgoing, but very shy. After going to Central Washington for a year, I've opened up because of all the opportunity of activities around campus and off campus. My job encourages everyone to improve our people skills. The people that are usually the outgoing people help bring the shy people out of their shells.
