If you are a commuter, parking is terrible. You have to get to the specified lot at just the right time, or you are circling for spots or taking the mile walk from South Lot. This can be extremely frustrating, particularly when you have professors that are quite strict on tardiness. Westfield seemed to be just an extension of high school, rather than a revolutionary, mind-opening educational experience. BUT, there are definitely select professors within each department that really create a meaningful experience for you. You don't mind doing the work for these professors. Like any other state school, you get what you want out of it. The price is extremely fair and I received a decent amount of Financial Aid, despite its already low tuition. The campus revamped the majority of its buildings which was nice. Towards my final years, I was definitely ready to get out. But now looking back, I realize the school wasn't so bad. Overall, I'd rate it a B-.
