Briana

A person that is very open minded and pretty liberal. Every one at Western has this mind set, you can tell who the freshman are because a few are still caught up in who's cooler than who.

diana

One who is able to enjoy the beauty provided to us by earth. Western Washington is surrounded by foliage, perfect for those who are able to take a breather and relax. No matter how hectic the week is with various deadlines, one can always find comfort just by walking outside and realizing that we are part of something bigger; that our stress will pass with time. I find that the unique setting of my school enables us to slow down in this fast paced life so many are trying to take on.

Andy

If you are someone who is afraid of college and afraid of people not accepting you for who you are this is the school for you because what I've noticed about Western is everyone on campus is very friendly and accepting of others in fact they want to get to know you for who you are. Also we are probably one of the most environmentally friendly schools so come here if you are as well. Lastly I love how we don't have a greek system so if you want to avoid the greek system this is the place.

Beth

Any one who is liberal, loves the arts or who is not into sports should attend this school.

Amanda

WWU is extremely diverse! I believe there is a spot for everyone. Personally, I was very involved with the students in my major. There are plenty of different majors and clubs that allow for everybody to be involved. Arts, theater, health, fitness, chemistry, biology, engineering, etc. And best of all, everybody is open and friendly. I made many friends in my major and many that weren't. WWU is a great campus for any type of student.

amanda

To attend WWU and feel at home, one must be a very relaxed chill person. There is zero school spirit or sense of community. The classes are great but the environment is super relaxed. Most people smoke weed all the time and sit around. Makes them seem unmotivated and unenthused about life. To go here, one must be a very not spirited, fun loving person.

No person who is close minded, discriminatory or otherwise unable to open up to new ideas or cultures should attend Western Washington University. This university is a place for students who seek academic achievment, new experiences, and are open to new possibilities. Attending Western Washington University opens the world through both their academic programs and student body. There are many different cultures and beliefs represented on campus and all have an oppurtunity to shine. Combined with a beutiful and planet friendly campus the university is open to anyone who is willing to step forward and embrace the world.

Kaitlin

Most of the people here are easy-going, friendly, and are accepting or others. I have seldom met someone unlikeable on this campus.

Sarah

There are many types of people who can attend this school. While I'm not a fan of blocking people into a "type" based on personality and habits, I do believe almost anyone who is very self-motivated and serious about getting a good, well-rounded undergraduate education should definitely go to WWU. Liberal-minded people will feel most comfortable here, but conservative-minded people will still find the community to be a friendly one despite some differing viewpoints of the local people. Anyone who wishes to go into science should also be encouraged to attend WWU.

Erica

Western Washington University is very, very liberal. If a person wants to attend this school, they should already recycle or be willing to do it. They should also have an interest in frisbee, hiking, and thinking for themselves. Fairhaven in a school within the university where students build their own majors, which shows how open minded and flexible the people who go to WWU are. WWU is better known for its theatre than its athletics, so I recommend an interest in the arts rather than sports, although my school takes part in all kinds of sports.
