This school is essentially the safety school forSuper Brilliant
This school is essentially the safety school for well-to-do kids who aren't the brightest from the Chicago and Detroit suburbs (the affluent ones). There is more emphasis placed on diversity and inclusion than academics and merit. That being said there are a couple students who come to WMU on scholarship who are brilliant. It's too bad they're trapped at this awful school due to finances.

Question
DO NOT GO TO WESTERN.Not so bright
DO NOT GO TO WESTERN. A lot of white trash. Sorority and fraternity people are dirty and gross, not the accomplished people you would expect. Every girl at western does not know what a real pair of pants is. You will find no girl or guy who showered or did their hair before class. There is no art, fashion, beauty or inspiration on this barren old campus.On a side note, if you're a total loser and decide to go to western, do not live in hoejke. Boring unfriendly ra's. the ra's pretend to be friendly when they want something but they're a bunch of nerds who have nothing better to do with their time. And if you plan on just eating dinner in peace, be prepared to be surrounded by tables of horridly loud ghetto folk and even better, trashy rednecks whose general appearance will ruin your eyesight. The advisors are unhelpful. Most students here should still be in diapers as they are not adult enough to have jobs, wear real pants, do their hair or chew with their mout closed. Western, boo you whore!

Question
I love my years at Western Michigan.Quite Bright
I love my years at Western Michigan. First of the sports going to the football games OMG I had a great time. The school with the top elite academics, I feel so ready for the world. Everyone knows the parties are amazing. Just absolutely nuts out of this world. "Great day to be a bronco" which is everyday
