Western is not the school for everyone. If you are looking for a classic balanced college life (i.e. school work, parties, meeting new people, greek system) you will hate it here. Most people come here for academics (which I find pretty good here) However, the lack of social life really turns me off. If you are an out-of-state student, you will have an extremely hard time making friends and will spend the majority of your time cooped up in your dorm room. I have never had a hard time making friends but all of the people you meet here would rather hang out with their friends from high school. It's a pretty depressing place socially. It's the perfect location, Bellingham is beautiful, there is so much to do recreationally if you are into that kind of thing. It's a very "green" place which is why I chose WWU in the first place. However, I wish I would have explored more Universities because my time here at WWU is just a waste of 30K. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't waste your time here! If you are a hippie and loveeee doing absolutely nothing or smoking weed, this place is for you. It's the honest truth, definitely check it out before committing. Biggest mistake of my life.
