Amazing. That's all you wanted to know, right?!
But honestly, I love it here! In my opinion, the best thing about Western is Woodring, the teaching program... but that might be because I'm biased since that's what I'm studying :) Western's campus is one thing that really drew me to the school. It's a smaller campus, which I prefer, and it feels very "homey." Prior to coming to college, I had never lived anywhere other than with my parents, and I have a seriously close relationship with my family. I got homesick after staying with a friend for 2 days! (Sad, I know, but at least I admit it!) However, I can honestly say that I've never been homesick here. I think it's because there's always something to do (especially if you join one or more of the awesome clubs on campus!) Everyone was so friendly and welcoming my freshman year, and it made the whole transition so much easier.
Some little tidbits of information:
-One thing I'd change: Probably that there were more school sports (particularly football) that students can attend. I have always been jealous of my friends who go to WSU and UW because of how much fun their football games are and how much they bring their school together.
-School size: I think that Western is the perfect size for a college. It's not too small that there's nothing to do, and it's not overwhelmingly large that you get lost all of the time or cannot make it from one side of campus to the other in time for class. It's also filled with lots of trees and artwork, which makes Western one of the most beautiful campuses I've ever been to :)
-Bellingham: It is definitely a college town, although there are plenty of families that live in the area. Most of the businesses and restaurants around here are "catered" toward college students in the sense that they are always offering great discounts to students. There's a lot to do downtown, especially when you're 21+, like bars, clubs, little coffee shops, and hanging out at the park. Western's campus is a mere 5 minutes away from Boulevard Park - the most popular hangout spot for students in the spring/summer months. It's a park that sits right on the water, full of playgrounds for children, grassy areas to hang out and play on, and trails/docks to run and take walks on. Bellingham is honestly one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen, and I don't think I can do it justice to try and describe everything on here. You'll just have to come see for yourself! :)
