Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Psychology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I LOVED CWU! I had the best time of my life there, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. CWU is a very pretty campus, with a lot of very new buildings. And a lot of the older buildings have recently been renovated. There are lots of opportunities to get involved, and was a great experience in general. Ellensburg (the town) is relatively small, but it is very cute and clean. There isn't any large mall... just a Fred Meyer, and lots of locally owned shops. It is very walkable, and there are lots of great restaurants. If you are into outdoor activities (hiking, biking, camping, rafting, swimming, rock climbing), there are lots of places to do such things. Great school. I highly recommend it!

They are too broad, the classes never go to indepth and you never really learn anything you can put to use. The school is so far from everything. I was a military brat, and wasnt used to the place being located in the middle of rodeo town usa! the locals hated the students and the students hated the locals. It was a good school for gettin a cheap education, when they raised tuituin, it became just like the other useless schools, Western and eastern (universities). they need to get their departments structured better. Most of the IT profs were very nice though. Although there are a couple chairs that were snooty as hell. Anyways, if your lookin for a school with no frats or sorroritys, then this is the place for you. They only have 2 or 3 bars, so everyone sees everyone all the time.

After being here for this long and completely into my major, I wish I would have went to another school. The education department seems to be falling apart around me and most people would like to pretend that it's not happening. Newly arrived students (I work with them) seem to be more snooty and self-absorbed then when I was a freshmman. Sorry to say but I wouldn't have chosen CWU if I would have known back then what I do now. I'm thankful I'm graduating in two quarters though.

Big problem for me, since i have always been around culturally diverse people. Not in this school! lol..but other then that everthing is pretty laid back. Only draw back is, NO walmart, and no malls. Its in the middle of nowhere. So you have to visit the parentals , at least to stock up on the goods. Be wise when you pick a Major, really think about the big pay off in the end. Alot of CWU Alumni pick majors like Fashion merchandising and stuff like that, and have yet to find a good job. Its all about connections.
