Very small class sizes and it is the only univeristy close to my home.
This school has a beautiful campus that feels safe and gives you a workout while walking to class because of all the hills! The red brick buildings show the age, and history that comes with the college. There are many extra cuticular activities available, so it is easy to find things to do outside of class. Pullman has a small town feel, while providing many stores to buy groceries and other essential items. The three WSU book stores are great places to buy text books as well as plenty of Cougar attire that help keep the college spirit alive!
The diverse community and my school is trying to get more hispanics and african-american students to attend the school as well.
This campus is unique in that it is almost completely a college town. The majority of the people we see on and off campus are students and it is kind of like its own world. Off course, when we have tours of the campus to high school students and transfers we are welcoming but for the most part everyone that attends Washington State University sees mostly other college students on a daily basis.
WSU is high in spirit and proud of their alma mater. The unique quality of WSU is the admiral focus that targeted college students. The city of Pullman is basically a "college town." The population rose by at least 20,000 when school was in session. Pullman was comfortable, not intimidating and I felt it was easy to make lifetime friends. WSU is also very family oriented, there are a number of events that honor parents. There is a Mom's Weekend and a Dad's Weekend.
My school is split up into four schools WSU-Tricities (the school I attend), Spokane, Vancouver and the head school Pullman. WSU Tricities is a smaller campus than most it has about 1500 students give or take. Class sizes are fairly small so being able to consentrate in a lecture is easy as wellas getting to know the professors.
Washington State University has a strong sense of pride in the 'Coug' spirit and it is quite compelling. I have gone to several other campuses and have never felt the intoxicating feeling of a sense of togetherness like the way WSU has. WSU also has a wide variety of prestigious curriculum, which is why i chose WSU. For the Nutrition and Exercise Physiology program it offers.
My school is unique in that it is small and has students of varying ages with the same goal to receive their undergrad or graduate degree. With the varying ages it gives students an idea of what the "real" world outside the campus is going to be. There are plenty of activities for the younger generation to participate in even though it is considered a "commuter" campus, unlike the main campus in Pullman which has dorms and sports teams.
Unlike other schools i looked at, my school is in a campus-based town and allows students to be part of a community. Since the buildings are all on campus, all a student has to do is walk to class. I feel it is not neccessary to bring a car to school which saves me money. Washington State University also has one of the nicest Rec centers on this side of the country.
Washington State University is unique in the ability to alter your major however many ways you need to, and how the system is set up so that you don't add years onto your graduation date. You could be a pre-veterinarian student one day, and the next you are a psychology major. WSU is so diverse in its available programs that students are able to follow their dreams, and get on the right track for their education in their selected field of work. Corollary, students have a much more optimistic view to college.
The sense of community that is present at WSU. WSU is in a college town, meaning there are mainly only the college students in the area. This is amazing because wherever you go, you will feel at home. I say you will feel at home because you will make close friends to where after a while, it will feel like they are your family. Small class sizes Most of the classes are small which helps us learn better. This is completely different compared to other big universities.
Washington State lies within a small college town. The university itself is huge, but you also get the atmosphere of a college town. Everywhere around Pullman, Washington is all about the Cougars, so you really enter in to a familly that is nation wide.
The wonderful thing about Washington State University is its location in the small town of Pullman. Here in Pullman everywhere you turn, look up, down, all around, are cougar heads. Welcome to the college town! Pullman is, more or less, in the middle of "nowhere land", but there is plenty for you to do while visiting or attending school. Another fantastic quality of WSU is the school spirit. Once a Coug, always a Coug! Alumni still visit consistently and support the University endlessly and cougars are pretty much pumped up about everything to do with WSU and sports.
Washington State University is unique becasue everyone loves going here. The alumn are excited and come back for every home football game and many basketball games.
My school is large in the amount of students, but because of it's location, it feels like a family. Everyone smiles and says hello, holds doors open for other people, recognizes people from their classes around campus. Its the best feeling to know when you leave home to come to school, you are coming to see your other family, your other home.
Washington State is distinguishable from other universities in different ways. Academically, this is a research-based college with many of the professors involved in their own work on top of teaching classes. Having a research college allows attending students to have many opportunities to be employed by the faculty and gain valuable experience in their field of interest. Also, there is a large and supportive community associated with Washington State. The alumni continue to stay loyal well after they graduate, and even individuals who live in the surrounding area love to support the university?s sports, students and facilities.
Though Washington State is a large school it is a very close and friendly community. Both the people and professors here are friendly and easy to approach. Everyone one campus is always opening doors for others and offer a warm smile. It feels like home.
it has a great sense of school spirit. Everyone is very active in the community and it has a great safe feeling.
Strong focus on veterinary and agricultural sciences as well as architecture. Very isolated location with cold winter weather compared to other state colleges.
[Note, that I refer to the Tri-City campus of WSU, not Pullman] Washington State University is home for me. There is a gentle blend of culture and age so that incoming freshman aswell as older students returning to academia get the same experience as the real world: every day we interact with people of different color, age, and background. A professor of mine taught me that the main difference between high school and college is that every class, every semester, and everyday you are surrounded by people you do not know. Every moment is an oppertunity to know someone.
UW is too large and they are just stuck up. Pullman is a very small town but when you factor in Washington State University (WSU) there are a lot of people. UW is just too large and too close to home. And CWU just does not have the name the WSU has.
Washington State University is like a private school when it comes to size, but with the cost of state school minus the room and board cost.
WSU has a Vancouver campas so I can get a university education without moving to Pullman or leaving the town I was raised. It is very beautiful campus with a diverse faculty who have expertise in their field.
The students are extremely spirited and lively. The Washington State Cougars have a very distinct pride in their school. It really makes being a student here fun, exciting, and rewarding. The atmosphere is excellent.
Being in the middle of nowhere in Eastern Washington it's a pretty isolated school, which creates a very loyal bunch of students who are willing to make the trek out here.
Pullman is unique because although it is in such a remote location, the memories you will make here last you a lifetime. Maybe I'm biased because I have so much joy in my heart for this place I can call my school, but once you come here, I don't think anyone could see themselves going anywhere else. You can't understand Pullman until you experience it first hand.
The school spirit and sense of community is incredible. Cougs around the country are always ready and willing to help one another. Just being a WSU graduate opens up doors to all sorts of jobs and opportunities. Students and alumni are truly proud of their school.
There is a very strong sense of school pride here. Another unique characteristic is that the univsersity is located in a small town and the sense of community here is amazing, not only in the community but on campus as well. The people here are great and with not a whole lot to do in Pullman most of my time was spent getting to know people. Through this, I have made lifelong friends and makes Pullman very unique.
It has a fantastic veterinary college. As an undergraduate you can participate in internships and research.
Washington State University is most definitely a college town making you feel very comfortable in your environment. It is a great befit to live in a college town because during finals the whole town is dead and studying then picks up again; the environment and social events are all planned around students. The school pride is outstanding making you feel very connected and a part of something in this big school. I love being located in the middle of know where, because most anyone who goes to the school lives there, giving you the opportunity to make very strong friendships.
I have no idea
The close bond and love that you grow for all Cougs! No matter where you go or who you meet, when people meet and find out they are both a Coug then it is instant love. Before making my final decision on where to go to school, everytime I notice people wearing college gear from one of the schools I applied to, it never failed. Most people would say "Yeah, such an such was a great school, I like it." But when I asked some one wearing WSU gear they instantly were excited and pumped to talk!
Out of theprospective universities that I applied to, Washington State University stood out to me as a very suitable school that not only met my needs but far surpassed my greatest expectations. I sought a school that had a Pre-Pharmacy program; WSU not only has a Pre-Pharmacy program but also has a Pharmacy School that is currently ranked #10 in the United States. I also am pursuing a bachelor's in Chinese; the Chinese program at WSU is superb.This provided me the unique opportunity of completing not only my undergraduate but also my graduate degree at WSU.
Cougar Spirit! and Pullman Water!
I feel like whereever I see another Cougar we have a unspoken bond, we know what is like to be on this campus and feel the stong sense of community no matter where we are. I also feel that there is a huge allumni involvement which make me see that the school will be a big part of my future life
It's a college town, which means that half the town's population is college students. This means that the summers make Pullman a ghost town. That makes it really unique. The town of Pullman itself really makes WSU one of a kind. Some like it, and some don't. I enjoy its small size, while WSU is an adequate size.
My scholl is a lot more socially invovled and the other schools were to locked down on academics, not that mine doesnt highly value education but allows a lot more networking and has a lot better balance for an all around experience.
Washington State University is in a very secluded place so there is a lot of emphasis on the being at the University. This makes WSU feel like a very close knit-family. Everyone is very interactive with the community and University. There is a lot of school spirit.
For my anatomy class we get to work with real cadavers that the med-school students work on so it's hands-on experience, which is really really cool!
Very isolated. loads of research.
It is further away from home, in a small town.
It used to be a graduate school so there is not that many underclassman. Also because of that there are no dorms so I get to live at home and only have to drive 15-20 to get to school each day. And the view and surounding areas/landscapes are beautiful. You can see Mt. St. Helens!
This school was the most helpful with financial aid services, especially in regards to how it pertains to the specific degree I'm earning.
Music Video Highlighting the college I went to: Washington State University
WSU is a fire pit of atrocity. It is the worst place I have ever schooled in my life. I wouldnt reccomend it to anyone. The social scene is heinous, Professors that you work for are unstoppable (because someone in a higher position is scared of them leaving you to get screwed illegally).... But, if you like snobby people who love their Prada bags, short skirts with no panties while their herpes outbreak is on hold... please come here!
GO COUGS for life and FUCK the Bitch-ass Huskies
nope
To complete a degree through a branch campus, its sad that the most classes are avaliable only online and are not offered at the campus. It makes it hard to schedule work, family and classes when the student whats the full effect of going to a class on campus. Classes on campus seem like its a better educational experience.
I love WSU and its social and academic environments. The only thing I dislike is that Im out-of-state and paying out-of-state tuition, which really sucks, but WSU is amazing and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
Be a Cougar! I wish I was like the real Van Wilder, and never had to leave! Enjoy college life while you can, because it will hit you so hard when you graduate that you have to go out into the REAL WORLD. If I could stay at Washington State and be a Coug for the rest of my life, I would.
