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.

Evergreen is an amazing school for the natural sciences, but don't expect to get much real experience out of the the humanities side. I started as a humanities/writing student and switched to the natural sciences after so many disappointing classes and underwhelming professors.
Arts/philosophy/psychology/humanities studies are loosely structured and fluffy, and sometimes a quarter is literally just going on a road trip. The sciences are amazing though, and Evergreen has so many incredible resources like labs and a huge forest living laboratory. The science professors engage students and keep things grounded in reality, and always try to engage students in undergraduate research and planning for their career after evergreen. 5/5 in this field, don't underestimate the sciences here!

Evergreen is a wonderful university. By allowing students flexibility in their coursework you can really craft any type of experience you are seeking. I found my Evergreen degree opened many doors for me. I went on to do my Masters and am now pursuing a JD. I also worked my way up to hold Director-level positions in multiple non-profits as well as created and sold successful businesses. Evergreen gave me the foundation- if you are self driven, it's a great choice!
