Unless you smoke pot and are very comfortable with being around it, don't go here. I lived on campus for 3 weeks before leaving the school entirely, here is what I experienced. The housing reminded me of being at a camp not an academic institution. It was run down, moldy, and we had to call maintenance several times. The large sliding windows did not have locks, we were provided with wood boards to jam in to prevent them from opening from the outside. You know the mass emails that universities sends out? At evergreen people could reply all and thats how we all learned that there had been several rapes on campus. See this article: Also there were fliers put up telling people not to "snitch" that had baseball bats on them and we heard rumors of groups beating up said snitches. My roommate turned out to be dealing and so when trying to do homework, I was constantly bothered by strangers banging at the door for her services. Our neighbor was a former homeless meth addict. I met ZERO people that didn't smoke. I also hate the smell of pot, if you attend evergreen and are not a smoker, you will never escape that smell. I was looking for a unique learning experience but instead found an unsafe stoner school.
