If you are a commuter, parking is terrible. You have to get to the specified lot at just the right time, or you are circling for spots or taking the mile walk from South Lot. This can be extremely frustrating, particularly when you have professors that are quite strict on tardiness. Westfield seemed to be just an extension of high school, rather than a revolutionary, mind-opening educational experience. BUT, there are definitely select professors within each department that really create a meaningful experience for you. You don't mind doing the work for these professors. Like any other state school, you get what you want out of it. The price is extremely fair and I received a decent amount of Financial Aid, despite its already low tuition. The campus revamped the majority of its buildings which was nice. Towards my final years, I was definitely ready to get out. But now looking back, I realize the school wasn't so bad. Overall, I'd rate it a B-.

Not so bright
I like the school alot. I am a sophmore and plan on attending untill I graduate. It is lots of fun on the weekends if you find the right group of friends. I like the academics but sometimes I find the majority of my classes to be almost too easy. Other than that I think its a great education and I love the sociology department and all that it offers. Many of the teachers are nice and helpful. I believe that people either love or hate westfield. I on that note love it. Every experience is what you make it.

Average
The professors here are very good and know what they're teaching. The class selection for business majors offers many choices that allowed me to take classes i wanted to lean about. The only negatives i've experience is the overcrowdness of the school. I had to live in a forced triple which wasnt fun, the room was way too small for three people to live in. I ended up living off campus next semester.
Friendliness: A+, Surrounding City: C+
