Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Finance  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright Western is a top choice institution for students mainly from western washington who think that UW is too big/dont want to live in Seattle and WSU is too isolated. WWU's campus is long and narrow and is situated between two forested hills and has spectacular views over Bellingham Bay towards the northern end of campus. If you're looking for a big Greek scene/division 1 athletics, its not the school for you. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Education Quality: A Have a Question?

There is ample opportunity to engage in events on and off of campus. The university, in particular, the human service's program, encourages diversity, involvement, creativity, and critical thinking. The city of Bellingham is surrounded by mountains, bays, and lakes, and the university has lovely antique buildings, ancient trees and beautiful sculpture.

They must have an incompetent staff working in the registration and admissions office. It's too much of a pain to pay money to them to attend.

Beautiful location by the water, lots of opportunities for outdoorsy stuff (hiking, kayaking, jogging, biking, etc). Seattle and Vancouver equidistant from Bellingham (about 90 miles). Many opportunities to get involved on campus through clubs and extracurricular activities, and the school is small enough where you'll be able to actually meet people and network effectively. My only negative feelings toward Western is that I don't feel the school makes higher level student achievement (admission into top graduate schools, study abroad programs, national fellowships, prestigeous internships) particularly attainable - you have to be VERY self-motivated and seek out all the resources possible to make things happen for yourself(for example, I am looking into applying for Fulbright and Truman fellowships, and there are currently no program advisors at Western). On the other hand, there are many local and campus opportunities for internships and volunteer work, and Western offers many diversity, departmental, and merit scholarships.
