My favorite thing about WSU is the community. The community is so welcoming and helpful, a wonderful atmosphere to live in and immerse yourself in. The students, professors, and staff are so nice and genuine. The setting and vibe you get from WSU is unlike other universities I have toured. Also I won't forget to mention that since WSU is in a college town, the prices in town at the nearby stores are tailored towards student budgets which makes living affordable.
Another one of my favorite aspects of WSU is the food, specifically Ferdinand's ice cream shop and the Cougar Gold cheese. The ice cream shop has amazing flavors like Cougar Tracks (think peanut butter, chocolate, vanilla), huckleberry, and even apple pie. The shop also has a variety of house made cheeses, fresh curds, and even smoked meats. It's just something you can't beat.
WSU is a great college, it's campus is easy to walk around (make sure you're okay with lots of hills!), and the community is wonderful. Go Cougs!

I transferred here in January 2019, I came in with a large amount of credits, but I was not able to use all of them due to my prior university not being honest in regards to what WSU would accept. Despite this, I was still able to graduate in under 4 years.
Anyways, WSU is what you make of it-- if you want to go to a "good" school, it is here; if you want to go to a "party" school it is here; WSU will be what you want -- however it up to you to apply yourself. Sure, almost anyone can be accepted, but it's really not about getting in here, it's about whether you're a strong enough student to stay.
WSU gives its students wonderful resources, Pullman is beautiful, and the sense of community during and after graduation is undeniable. I have heard "Cougs help Cougs" all my life, and I'll tell you, I see it.
My entire family has gone here, and not one has been unsuccessful in their professional fields. What you do with your time here, reflects in the grades you get.

The sense of community at WSU is unlike no other in Washington, the popular saying Cougs help Cougs is a testament I truly stand by. People there are so nice and friendly. Due to it's location of being in the middle of no where, strong friendships are a necessity! I know I found mine at WSU. Classes depending on what they are can range from 15 students to 130. Professors take academics very seriously and so does a lot of the students at university. WSU isn't a party school no more!
