申請點評

• Student Body: This is my first year in college but i have been enjoying myself immensely, getting to know these awesome people. Some are acquaintances that i see on occasion and others have become dear friends that i have gone on camping trips with and excitedly debated the content of courses we may be sharing at the time. The general student body is diverse culturally, people from many backgrounds. i get to hear at least 3-4 different foreign languages in a given week there; Chinese, Japanese, Punjabi, Spanish, German, and so on. There are students AND staff that make sure that we are a very accepting group of people-- no matter racial or political background, no matter sexual orientation or economic status, all are welcome and any conglomeration of students is welcome. It is good, going to college in the 21st century in the Pacific NW, and this school is a fine example!
• Campus Resources: A quality library, staffed by good people! They are willing and able to help delve into their resources for the information needed to succeed in research for class or for fun. Since we are so close to Western Washington University, we have access to their library as well so our on-campus library need not grow out of control. Athletic centers are good yet currently under construction for what i understand are to be great improvements. The weight room is, however, rather tiny and not the best that i have seen but at least there is one. There are many student activities, funded through clubs and general campus resources. Japanese club had a noodle eating contest a while back; music club hosts occasional open mic events; German club took a trip to the Seattle Film Festival to view an applicable film; the entirety of campus is apart of "Orca Day," a day of celebration, food, games and so forth near the end of the school year.
• Campus Resources: There's lots of places to study on campus. The library is large, and the librarians are friendly and eager to help. The student life office is also very accessible. The campus is very aesthetically pleasing, with a good layout and well maintained buildings.
• Campus Resources: There is wireless access across campus. I personally like having a personal computer, since the school's computers fill up quickly, especially around 1 or 2. Printing on campus is great, though- Whatcom provides $15 dollars free of charge for students to print assignments (it's $0.10 a page).*(4)
