I know the tuition is less than other schools, which is why I went there, but seriously, save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else. I wanted to transfer out of this school within the first quarter. The majority of the teachers are idiots, or they just don't give a crap about their students since they are tenured, and therefore, untouchable and lacking motivation to actually be a responsive, quality professor. I completed a double major, made Dean's list every quarter, and joined honor societies, and through that experience, I can honestly say I only encountered maybe four quality professors that cared about their jobs. Oh, and many of the professors are biased, as in, if you disagree with their opinion (I.e. think for yourself), they will mark you down for doing so. This school is a joke. They are also HIGHLY unorganized. The education is not quality, and it seemed like most of the students were less intelligent than an average middle schooler. Save your time and money.

Otherwise, work harder and get into a good school (UW?). The school is just too small, under-funded, and lacking any recognition for you to get a decent job after graduation. Even an engineering degree from here gets you nowhere. You don't learn that much unless you push yourself to do it. The faculty won't. And main campus couldn't care less about the branch campuses.

The reason it is so cheap is because the education you receive at Central is honestly a joke. The student body that is attracted to Central are those that only focus on partying and "living the college dream" and as such, I found myself sitting in class wondering how my peers even got accepted to college in the first place. If you care about your education and your future, choose a different university. Invest in paying more to attend a better, respectable university. Spending even a cent on tuition at Central is a waste.

After completing three full years of study at CWU, I have noticed these things:

- Students often complain about having to do their schoolwork, which is an implication of intellectual laziness.
- Students fail to expand their horizons. This is shown in shirts that say "Constantly Wasted University", attendance at parties outweighing classroom attendance, and the usage of phrases such as "gay" and "retarded" in derogatory manners on campus.
- If you ask a question that extends a classroom discussion, you will likely receive dirty looks for prolonging the lecture.
- Multiple programs are offered for students who are struggling to keep up with their studies, while limited programs are available for students seeking a challenge.
- Cliques exist, especially among the Freshman class.
- More than half the students of my Freshman class have left the school; reasons for this include dropping out, transferring, or being expelled.

Although I have made many friends here, I am largely unsatisfied with the academic environment at CWU.

They are terrible at getting the information to you in time for you to attend an event. It really is a great way for the school to save money. Free BBQ yesterday! And since no one showed up, it cost the school nothing but they can claim that they held an event for students. Funny how I never learn of the good stuff, but the school manages to send hundreds of e-mails and letters to my home reminding me to donate to the university after I graduate. I will NEVER donate to this school and it upsets me that they think I should. The school has never included me in any of their events, so I will not include them in my money.

The registrars office...incompetent would be a step-up for them. I took classes at a community college for my EMT and Paramedic licenses. CWU offers an EMT program, but would not count them as transfer credit because they were taken at a community college and not a university. The head of the EMT program went to bat for me because I had the credentials to teach the class. That did not matter to the registrar. The will only accept credits from a university. They denied me the credits causing me to have to re-take classes. After dealing with them, I understand why people go on shooting sprees at colleges.
