Evergreen is an incredible school.

I had my doubts going there because I grew up in Olympia, but as of right now, I'm super attached.

It's a very inviting and liberating environment. The campus is such a different world from the city of Olympia, and it's kinda far out in the woods, which can be some-what sketchy at times.

I love everything about it. Students actually care. Majority of the students that I met really do want to do something with their lives and make a difference. There's a pattern that I've been noticing; a lot of students were not going to go to college but then applied to Evergreen, got in, and are loving it. For a lot of people this was the ONLY school they applied to. They all do really well here.

The professors are amazing. So approachable. So intelligent. Definitely liberal. There's no alternative view for the most part. I think the theme of most Evergreen's programs is power and "the man."

If you give this school a chance, you will aboslutely love it. I've met so many differnt types of people here, I don't even think there's a typical Greener anymore.

Ok, here's the deal: if you are a student you will love Evergreen. And, then, you start to find out how the school works -- as an alumni -- and your heart breaks. It is all a sham.

I was there. At ESC back in the day. Tail end of a good thing. I believe in the education, I believe in the experience...but. I have since worked with the administration of the college -- they are power-hungry, conniving personnel. Trust me: they don't embody what you are learning; they don't personify what the faculty are espousing.

It can break your heart. But, really your money -- tuition -- is essentially supporting a crooked administration. Seriously. Board of Governors, Alumni Relations, Administration -- I saw it firsthand: they are out to abuse power, and fly in the face of what this institution, and Charlie McCann are all about.

Get your education, and get out. Don't give them another cent.

Seriously.

TESC will test your mettle. I found the school to be academically challenging. The classes were unusual but almost always interesting and different then at any other school I had visited or knew of. I enjoyed not having grades and liked the idea of having written narratives. Independent contracts and internships were invaluable. If you're looking to go to a "party" school, this isn't the place. Truth be told - Olympia is a pretty boring place and the weather can be "challenging". But if you're looking for an inexpensive school in the NW that give you a great education - TESC is the place.
