Attending Washburn University is the best decision I’ve made by far! The instructors, Faculty, and students have all made a wonderful impact on me. I couldn’t ask for a better university!
I love Washburn University! Go Bods! Its a school with a friendly atmosphere. If you like small classes this is the place to go. I've never been in a class of more than 50 students, and I've been there for 4 years. The professors are very helpful and will do everything in their power to help or be available for you. We also have many resources for study materials, and Topeka metro bikes to ride around campus. It's not a big campus, so the walk to classes is not very long, 10 minutes max. The only thing that needs to change is parking. There isn't enough.
WU is a smaller college with a good professor:student ratio for most classes. Cheaper than bigger colleges and campus is smaller and fairly easy to navigate. Many improvements happening the last few years (new dorms built, new indoor athletic facility, new KBI building etc) surrounding area is not the safest/convenient. The Rec is nice for the size of the college with intramurals and other involvement opportunities available. Overall it is a great place to live and learn and I would definitely go there if I had to do it all again.
