The community at Evergreen is wonderful! I've found it’s an amazing environment for LGBTQ+ folks, and have never felt more comfortable being 100% out and proud.
I tend to disagree with the way that Administration does certain things, especially advertising. Evergreen has a unique way of doing things that's not for everyone. When it works for you it REALLY works. Evergreen’s very student-driven. The flexibility means that for self directed/driven folks it can be VERY enjoyable and personally fulfilling!
Academically speaking, other than the larger 16 credit interdisciplinary programs there are a lot of unique options! These include Evening and Weekend classes, Independent Learning Contracts, Student Originated Studies, Study Abroad programs, and earning credits for Internships! Evergreen is a medley of options and opportunities, and while it can come across as chaotic and a bit confusing, once you get into the groove of it you can really, REALLY go places.

I love this school and the professors I've worked with. Evergreen is an interdisciplinary school that prepares you for a more real-world experience: you don't do philosphy for an hour then go to a psychology class, you do it altogether and really grasp why these subjexts intermingle. The campus is beautiful and there are many friendly students to talk to. If the cafeteria were better and housing a bit more affordable, it'd have been an EASY 5 stars!
I attended Evergreen from 1977 to 1981. I didn't graduate because the classes were so lame it was absurd. The faculty consisted of the most eccentric, self-important "non-conformists" and pompous, delusional ignoramuses I've ever met before or since. Completely insulated from the real world, a waste of time and money. On the positive side, the students were friendly, and dating was fun, the young women of that time were very interested in romance and sex. Probably not now. Lot's of marijuana use and a complete lack of discipline or purpose. A significant number of mentally ill students who were probably sent there by their parents because of Evergreen's reputation as an "easy" school that is not too hard on losers.
