I consider it to rank (with the exceptions of sports) in league with U of M and state. If it had a medical school it would be considered in the top tier. Western is a weird mix however. It is great for academics and great for those who really only want to go to college to drink and party for a few years. Its philosophy program is considered in the top ten in the country, its aviation program has assets otherschools can only dream about, they actually have a boeing 747. Overall western is an eclectic mix of smart people and dumbasses. Also, if you are interested in pyschology with a cognitive behaivorist perspective western is really good for that as well. considering all factors it is a pretty damn good school. My opinon of it changed drastically in my time there from it being horrible to being pretty damn good. With western it just depends on your ambition you only get what you give as they say.

I came here because the programs are excellent and they offer a number of excellent opportunities for students. WMU is affordable and a great place to go to school. The campus is the perfect size (in my opinion). I have done great in the time I have been here, and I don't care what anyone says because I know that I have what it takes to be successful, no matter WHERE i go to school.

The campus has to be one of the best in the country and is completely isolated a few miles from the rest of the University. I can speak personally about the Chemical Engineering department and say that the faculty for the most part is very helpful. The program is very challenging and much is expected out of the students. The atmosphere is competitive, but the program is successful at preparing students for careers in the Engineering Industry. The student interaction is very high in the Engineering programs which helps build relationships and friends beyond college. Glad I can call myself an Alum of Western Michigans Engineering Program!!

The University is seriously a beacon of light in Southwest Michigan. Sure there were some problems with the operational aspect of the University but this is normal at any university. My professors were incredibly approachable and also respectful. You have to build that relationship with them and not only go to them when you're in a bind. These are people also and for the most part they're pretty reasonable. The facilities in the Res Halls are slightly outdated, but remember you didn't go to this university for great housing, you went to get an education. I'd rather have great educators than incredibly beautiful housing. The University is expanding in every direction you look and new building have been erected everywhere almost. Check out the new arts building....gotta give it to them on this one. Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:34:20 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/MI/WMU_comments.html
