Paid my enrollment fee and applied for housing, just waiting for it to all sink in! Should be an amazing four years. Here's some pictures to make it worth coming in here:

I'll see you your sophomore year! I live in WA I've never rode Baker, but I'm about 90% sure I'm going to Western although I'm a junior this year. A few skier friends of mine are going there that are seniors. Looks sick!
PS, avoid the WA regionals it's full of tools.

WWU looks sick but I just wish it had more of a name recognition and was a little better academically, otherwise I wouldn't be going to WSU.

Good scholarship offer, love the campus, PAC 12, great alumni, decent academically, and overall it just seems like a great school. The only downside is how far it is from skiing. I love that everyone lives on or right near the campus too.

Why not UW? It isn't full of assholes, and it's in the middle of a city.

UW is full of hipsters, emos, ugly females, shit tones of asains, rain, more rain, and does not have a traditional college feel to it.

And unless you go to an ivy or Stanford level school, name recognition is not much of a factor at all for undergrad.



WWU is very similar to a large community college from what i have heard from people who transfered away, or have lived in bham. But hey, to each their own. College is a great time no matter where you go.


Good Luck! and remember that you can literally start over in college. all those things you didnt like about yourself in high school- its all washed away and you can start new and do, and be all the things you want to. Be a yes man for your first year, your grades dont matter a whole lot freshman year(dont fail out though). o

$40,000 a year is too much to justify. Especially if I want to go to grad school. I just really don't want to have any debt and WSU gives me that option. I loved UW when I visited it and love Seattle as a city, but the debt is not worth it.

Fresno State and Cal Poly SLO. The problem with California schools is that they're ridiculously priced. A UC would be $30k a year for most likely five years because they're so impacted. I don't want to go to a CSU and those you probably wouldn't graduate in 4 years either. WSU was really the only school that came through for me and I loved it when I visited.

I'm in! My first choice is East Buchanan Towers because they let you stay there during breaks but we'll see what happens.
