Western Washington University

Pros: some lovely and interesting artistic expressions
Cons: You call that art?!??

Some people are afraid to be labeled "uncultured" because they think what some people create in the name of art STINKS. Too many of those people are in charge of the WWU sculpture collection. They seem to think art is there for the artists...

Pros: $$ ~ meet ppl ~ move in early
Cons: you are a peon ~ the work is grimy

There are a couple great short-term benefits to working for Marriott on the WWU campus. One is that you get to move into the dorms a day early and the other is the munch money. These are the main reasons that I would recommend applying for Marriott to...

Pros: ~
Cons: ~

WWU has a very safe campus. In the five years that I have lived in Bellingham I have never felt scared to walk around WWU's campus at any time day or night.

I am female, and while I no longer attend Western, I still attend certain clubs and...

Pros: Close to campus
Cons: Non-movable desks

I have not lived in Higginson, but I have friends there, and I've spent some time there. It is located on North Campus five minutes from the nearest classrooms and closer to ten for the farthest. They are close to the Viking Commons dining hall. They...

Pros: Beautiful campus, good classes
Cons: Parking is horrible

I have attended Western for two years now, I have no plans to switch colleges anytime soon. Western is located on the I5 corridor, almost smack in between of two large cultural and shopping centers - Seattle and Vancouver. It only approximately an hour...

Pros: better rooms, great community, parking
Cons: hike to campus, don't feel as involved in WWU campus activities as much as some of the other dorms

I lived in Buchanan Towers (BT) in 1995-96 as a transfer student with an AA degree. I lived on the 2nd, 5th, and 8th floor being a very mobile person. I loved the culture of Buchanan Towers. Since we were further away from campus, it seemed as if we...

Pros: good profs, practical information
Cons: takes you out of comfort zone, takes up a lot of time

In order to graduate in any concentration, you have to take courses in all of the specializations within business (i.e., accounting, economics, human resources, finance, etc.). This gives the student an exposure to each individual segment, and the final...

Pros: Beautiful campus, great outdoor opportunities
Cons: An hour from nearest major city, weather can be dreary in winter

Bellingham is one of those rare towns where you can still find homes within walking distance of downtown. The houses are old, most have been remodeled, and many are maintained very well. There are many houses available blocks from campus for a...

Pros: Lots of choices, lots of flexibility
Cons: Dining hall food can be widely variable in taste.

Marriott food services, responsible for all food supplied on campus, is a reasonably well run service. The food in the dining halls, of which there are three, varies, but over all, Marriott does an adequate job of feeding the student and faculty...

Pros: Nationally recognized academics & recreational opportunities
Cons: One day you WILL have to leave

You can never go home again. I know. I don't want to go home again. I want to go back to Dub-Dub-U.

I've finished my post-graduate work at other schools in other places, but nothing compares to the quality of education nor the quality of...

Pros: Very close to campus, nicest rooms on campus
Cons: Thin walls

I am currently living in Edens South and I love it. I moved here from Edens North where I lived as a Freshman. I still get the great atmosphere of living in Edens, but the rooms are much much nicer. All of them are carpeted and have tons of space....

Pros: Close to main parts of campus, Great social life.
Cons: No pets, farther away from science buildings.

I have lived on campus for two years now, and while I am moving next year, it is me not the dorms. I would defiantly recommend the dorms to anyone coming to Western, as a Freshman or transfer student. They are a great way to get to know people and get...

Pros: Easy to meet people, very close to campus
Cons: Not wheelchair accessible

Edens North is a basic dorm style building, the atmosphere of the hallways can be almost prison like, unless the people spruce it up some. But for all of that, the rooms are large, most are uncarpeted, but some are. You can also choose to live alone in...

Pros: responsive, vegi-friendly, flexible
Cons: high in calories/fat, leftovers appear in different forms

After eating at Fairhaven Dining Hall for a year, I found it to be an overall good experience. The staff advised us to give feedback about the meals, and that we did. What was better was that they followed our advice with little prompting. For...

Pros: Close to campus, close to gym and playing fields.
Cons: Very small rooms.

The Ridge is located along the Western edge of campus, in the near exact middle of campus. The Ridge holds the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and other "Greek" dorms. There is no greek system on campus, but these dorms are named after greek letters....
