Socially: This was like going into another year of high school The kids are extremely close minded and try to be the same as each other. Everyone parties on thursday because people go home to see their parents on weekends. Your in college. Grow up. They DO NOT want to see you as much as you think!! In high school, I avoided gossip easily by never associating myself with talkers, in WCSU, I lived in the dorms though so I could just smell it in the air.

Academically: I learned little to nothing coming out of this school. It was a challenge for me to pay attention because all of my professors were either dinosaurs who stopped giving a shit because retirement is around the corner and they have worked at the school for so long that they know they won't get fired and are friends with administration; OR, the teachers were just very depressed with their own lives and seemed to take it out on the students. Every possible staff position at WCSU that can legally be filled with a student is. I think its nice to give students a job, but their main goal is budget cuts and it results in a bunch of dumbasses who contradict everyone else in the department. NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING! Students even run admissions..wtf?! Even once I left WCSU after my freshman year, I almost didn't get into my next college because I had to ask them 3 times to send my transcript! It took them 2 months to and I got into the college last minute. I just finished transferring from my second college to another college, and WCSU just got my transcripts to them today. I asked them 2 months ago and once again had to ask them a few more times. Classes now start in a week and I missed every class to register for because even when I don't attend WCSU, they mange to get in the way.

WCSU also is notorious for having advisors (intentionally??) mess up peoples schedules so they have to pay for another year of college. I have plenty of friends this happened to, and they all tell me to never go to an advisor. DO IT YOURSELF! You will see how crooked the school is run here and there, but its the kind of school that if you don't questions what they fuck they are doing, you WILL get fucked.
