As a student born and raised in a liberal and open environment, moving to Texas was an experience of it's own- especially to the pan handle. I have been at WT for a year and LOVE it. I am in the Honors program, and am involved in several clubs and organizations.

The "pros" of WT:

A small atmosphere,a sense of family (you DO NOT get lost within the crowd)It's very easy to make friends.

The administration bends over to help you succeed, they are not money hungry.

CONS:

Very small town, social life is lacking.

Dry county, so very few parties.

The only attraction nearby is the Palo Duro Canyon (which is amazing for outdoorsy people, hiking, horseback riding, camping.. ect)

Lack of diversity, i've found many close minded people, which frustrates me.

Canyon is a dust bowl. Other than the amazing sunsets, there would be nothing pretty.

if you can deal with the small town sleepiness (Everything is closed by midnight, including traffic lights!) and not go stir crazy this is a wonderful school. I'm 2000 miles from my family and feel completely at home, there is an abundance of southern hospitality.
