Western is a nice campus. The newer dorms are very nice. Everyone seems friendly but I transfered, and it was hard to make friends. A great way to meet people is to join clubs, sports, etc. A lot of people already know each other. A percentage of the students are still in that high school mindset. You'll find people talking crap, acting like 16 year olds etc. But im sure that is at every school. I love the professors in my department. They are very helpful. The learning and writing center, and the math lab is what I like best. Getting your papers reviewed is an easy way to get a 100! The gym is also nice and very well equipped. However, eating at the dining hall is a hit or miss. Especially around the holidays. Don't come here if you don't have a car to get around in if you don't want to be stuck on campus. All the good food places are in Sylva. If Western was closer to my home, I would stay here. I am transferring out because I don't like the student body and its far from home. People drive crazy here! The police never seem to be around when they should be. A few people have almost been hit (including myself) from inattentive drivers. A lot of people smoke pot and can be rude. Jobs can be scarce. Some of the guys here are creepy and determined to get some panties. Everyone knows everyone, and if you don't belong to a group, or hang out with anyone, people will start to think you are stuck up (just like high school). Overall Western is a nice school. It just isn't right for me.
