Anybody wishing to get a quality education in the comfort setting of a small town school, you'll really get close to your peers and know all of pullman in just your first few months! Students especially interested in veterinary sciences, the healthcare field, agriculture and communication majors would highly benefit from attending WSU since we are known for having the best programs for these majors in the entire state!

A student who is searching for a large university with a hometown feel, a student who is ambitious in their coursework in any major, or a student who is excited to get involved and be devoted to cougar pride is the perfect type of person to attend this welcoming university with endless opportunity. There is no limit to the kind of person that belongs at Washington State University; the school allows for expression of individualism and provides opportunities that fullfil the interests of all diferent types of people.

Brittney

If you are the kind of person that gives everything your all, WSU at Pullman is the place for you. Although, at the very surface, our little school and town may not seem like much, it's more than a college student could ever ask for. With any interest that you may have, WSU has a group of students that are just as excited about it as you - from greek life to botany. It's all here. With this, you will also find a sense of community that is beyond comparison to any other. Come here for the college experience.

Christina

Someone who's open and friendly and ready to be full of school spirit.

Hieu

I believe an independent, goal oriented, and of course anyone out there should attend the school. The school is great for anyone and everyone because the education is top notched and the professors are great.

You should attend WSU if you want more than a degree out of college- you want an experience. The small town and secluded nature of WSU will give you friends for life if you are willing to look around.

Brittanie

Someone that is motivated and looking for a personal college experience with smaller classes.

Lisa

One that fits in with the sorority/fraternity crowd if your main priority is to fit in. If you want to shake things up and be different, you could come here too.

Caitlyn

Washington State University is an extremely diverse campus. It isn’t hard, however, to find a fellow student that you can get along with. The kinds of people that attend this school are spirited and social. It is our Cougar Pride that brings everyone together at Martin Stadium, in the heart of campus, to cheer our fight song even if it is below 30 degrees outside. People that value family and school pride should attend here.

Megan

Those seeking the profession of nursing. Its an excellent program!

Kristina

The kind of person that should attend Washington State University is someone who wants to enjoy their college career and have fun, but also be ready to work hard and earn the degree they want. Washington State seems like a fun school with a nice campus. They have really great programs too. No matter what field a person wants to go into, they can probably find it at Washington State University.

Meghann

In my opinion, the kind of person that should attend WSU is a student that is very serious about their education. This isn't a school that will just let students go through with barely passing grades. In fact, if a student's GPA should fall below a certain number that student is put on probation and is at risk of being expelled. So, only students who intend to work hard should come. Also, anyone who wants to get a head start in the work field should come, because WSU offers internships in practically everything which provides valuable experience.

Ellis

One of WSU's strengths is the size of the campus and the town it's located in, Pullman, WA. Anyone who comes from a small town won't be too intimidated by the size of the campuse, and they will feel comfortable in the relative solitude that Pullman has to offer. Also, anyone from a large town will find that there is more going on at WSU than meets the eye, and they won't have any trouble accommodating themselves to the activities on the campus.

Jacqueline

Someone who likes a small town atmosphere. Eveyone who goes here goes to all the sporting events and enjoys being outside. Social life is large here and greek life is dominate but everyone is very approachable. If you like are outgoing and enjoy small classes you will love Washington State University.

Nathan

Anyone can attend WSU because it is a great school. I would not recommend it to individuals who like the big city life and/or lots of action and excitement. If you expect to be entertained it's not for you. WSU is nice and laid back. People are friendly and there is plenty to do if you enjoy outdoor activities. Walking and biking trails start just off campus and there is easy access to cross-country skiing, hiking, and rafting. It is a large campus with a small campus feel.

Destiny

An individual who likes the college atmosphere, but enjoys living off campus. WSU-Vancouver has a great site but no housing.

Meagan

Any young adult who attends Washington State should remember why they are attending college. Like any college, it can be easy to forget the academic part of attending a university when there are so many extracurricular activities and social events. Focusing on grades and your future career helps you keep your priorities straight. However, college is a great learning experience outside of the classroom, too. Wanting to make new friends, learning how to fend for your self and the need to experience new opportunities are vital personality traits that a student who wants to attend Washington State should have.

Erica

At Washington State University, it would be hard to stereotype the students into a single category. Someone who should attend this school should be looking for a large school where the city is based around the school not vice versa, who is interested in multiple areas of study, who wants to have options regarding where they live, where they eat and if they want to be part of the Greek system. Categorizing the ideal person for WSU would be someone who wants to be able to make their own choices at their university.

Madison

A person who loves a smaller community that solely relies on its school spirit.

Erika

I think you need to be driven because most of the majors have a limit to how many students can get into second year classes. Being a well rounded, accepting person is important too because there are many students and facilty here that are of different races, beliefs, and backgrounds.

Jessica

You would have to love being in a small town, because Pullman is no blooming metropolis. It is a college town through and through. The ideal student would need to be able to appreciate agriculture, as WSU is a land-grant university based in agricultural research. Students here are ordinary people who do honest work, so those raised on daddy's money need not apply.

Aurora

Any students.

Hannah

Someone looking for really good college memories, most likely in a sorority or fraternity, and a degree in a popular field (communications, engineering, teaching, etc.).

Rory

A person who is not interested in the drinking crowd, because here it is very strong and will suck you in. This college is great for any one who is willing to learn. Engineering and Architecture majors fit in well here and so do buisness and nursing majors. They have an excellent research division so anyone looking into the of the sciences are a good match for this university

Tremaine

It really does not matter what type of person you are to attend the school. As long as you have the will to learn and interest in what type of majors and minors you are interested in. The are a vareity of classes to choose from and you just pick the ones that interest your personality or what you think you would like.

Mariam

A person who should attend this school is someone who is willing to put the time and effort to get good grades and improve their future, someone who uses the money wisely for school . people should attend this school if they are dedicated and actually care.

Stefan

Washington State University Vancouver is a school for the motivated and determined. This school provides the university opportunity, but also allows for students to maintain outside commitments. This school is excellent for high school graduates, for people already in the workforce, but looking to further thier education, or for the adults that want to come back to school, without having to move.

Alexander

Someone who knows how to work hard, and have fun on their free time.

Nick

Someone that attends this school should be prepared to become part of a tight-knit community of life long relationships all across Washington. If you need a night life or the big city, this is the wrong place to go.

J.

Anyone who is not looking for a very specific degree program.

Molly

A conservative

Nicholas

Students that want to be around mostly other students. People that are outgoing and want to have a good time, but can maintain a balance between fun and academics. A person that can regularly attend class, and can meet people to form study groups.

Joseph

Any person who has a positive attitude and has the opportunity should attend WSU. I prefer to be around those with a positive attitude. Those are the people that tend to be more successful and can help you later on.

Stanley

Nearly anyone can attend wsu as there are many different types of people on campus, but once on campus; whether you want to or not, you will gain a sense of cougar pride.

James

Anyone that wants to have fun and get a good education while avoiding high traffic and over crowded city type campuses should come to Washington State University. Also anyone who wants to feel appreciated by their fellow students and be a part of something big.

Paulette

I believe that Washington State University is a school for everyone with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. Anyone who is willing to challenge and push themselves to another level should attend my college. The reason I believe this is because when I was a Freshman, I was not sure about what I wanted to do. However, when I spent the time necessary to find my niche I felt like I belonged here. Students who are looking to discover themselves while getting a higher education are the best kind of people for WSU.

Heather

People that attend this school are people who are looking for a close-to-home education while still being affordable. They want to continue their education and start their career, but they still have other lives outside of school, whether it be a family, a job, or something of that nature.

Mary

A person that wants to study Business, Veterinary Medicine, or Farm tech would find this school worthwhile.

Someone ready for a challenging workload and a love for learning. There is also a strong school spirit, so having that and a social personality would be helpful.

I believe Washington State University to be a very diverse school. Therefore, making it welcome to all type of students. I have friends from all different backgrounds, located from all over the United Stated and the world. I think that is the best part with so many different options for majors it is give you that much more of an oportunity to expand your network and meet a diverse group of people.

Ash

The kind of person who has no clue what they want to do with their lives

Patty

Good Ones.

Sarah

People who don't mind studying a lot, as there is not much to do here besides sporting events or going partying...we are in the middle of now where, or rather we are in the middle of wheat fields, anywhere you look from campus you can probably see wheat fields.

Melody

Anyone who has a high work ethic and is willing to stretch themselves in a new environment.

Ashley

Some who likes smaller towns.

Michael

The kind of person who should attend here is a person who can focus and knows what they want out of their education and ultimately their future. If you don't know what you're working for, then you may struggle to find your footing and class will be much harder. A person coming here needs to ultimately be a choice maker, and be good at it. There are so many options to do something else, there are so many instances to go to the gym or try and validate watching a movie instead of doing homework.
