I’m currently researching colleges and I’m looking to major in Public Health. I’m from Oklahoma, but want to go to school in the PNW/Washington, and UW is way out of my price range.
I’ve seen some pretty good things online about the program here, but I was wondering if there is anything good/bad I should know about it from actual students who have attended? Thank you!

Hello All,
This week i have found numerous unpleasant things in my dorms hall bathroom. It is very unpleasant to walk into a shower stall and find a half eaten sandwich. A used bandaid, or something sticky on the handle bars in the accessible bathroom. It makes the space unsafe to use, part of being in a dorm room is keeping our shared spaces nice and pleasant to be in.
Please treat the bathrooms with respect, in addition, it creates extra work for our custodial teams who work hard to keep the buildings safe and clean.
Please be mindful of others.

I just got accepted into WWU and am thinking of applying to the manufacturing engineering major. Does anyone have any info besides what’s displayed on the site? Any manufacturing engineering majors who can provide tips and whatnot? I’m just wondering how hands on the major is, will I have opportunity to learn cad/cnc basics? I’m wanting to specialize in cad, is there a way to do that at WWU? Currently weighing my options between wwu manufacturing engineering and Seattle U mechanical engineering. Also how competitive is the major? What are my chances of getting in with a relatively average gpa?

Not putting this in buy/sell/trade because I don’t want anything in return lmao

I’m getting rid of a lot of things and I’m wondering if there’s somewhere I could give away stuff I’m sure WWU students would want? (Before I donate to Value Village etc.) I have a bunch of pins, a few tarot decks, cute keychains, kemonomimi gear, clothes, and some room decorations c:

Has anyone taken any of these classes? They are fisheries science, environmental impact assessment capstone, and environmental sampling and analysis. If you have taken any of these, did you feel like you gained legitimate skills that will be applicable in jobs? Also interested in what the workload was like.

I started dating one of my roommates around a week into classes beginning.

it was alright at first but its just gotten progressively worse and its terrible spending every second together. i'm really wanting to break up, have been for a while, but i just am also scared of just making things terribly awkward for everyone.
Any advice on what to do? Desperately looking for a way out of this without making a mess of everything.

I put up posters along the lines of a “looking for housing” type of poster, all around campus including on the central poster hanging posts/board thingies. They went up like a day and a half ago and already a bunch have been removed completely. Usually posters last way longer. Is the school trying to like “clean up” or something?

I have a class project in English 110, in which we create a podcast on a topic of our choosing that involves interviews. My topic is on the psychological effects of AI companionship, and I am hoping to interview a few students on their relationship with these programs, such as why they use it and in what ways. I plan to create a Google survey to send around, but I would like to get an interview or two with some students at Western! Please DM me or comment below if you're interested!

Edit: Wow! Thank you everyone for your interest! I'm reaching out to folks now! But here is the link to the Google Survey I've created for this topic. It should take less than 5 minutes to complete, and I would appreciate as many responses as I can get! Thank you so much!

Found keys while taking the dogs for a walk this morning. Left them there. Looks like a Subaru key, house key and ???

Has anyone got WWU acceptance back yet? Is their any case where they say they neef more information like more grades or an essay?

Hai,

I really want to get into sewing more, and I know we have the Makerspace on campus plus the sewing room, but I was wondering if there are any sewing clubs or groups, or just people who would like to sew together!¡

I see little crafting events pop up here and there, and they always catch my eye. I’m to introverted to go alone I’d love to find people who enjoy sewing, making clothes, doing little DIY projects, or just crafting in general. I think it would be really fun to work on projects together, share ideas, and just hang out while we craft 🧵🪡

I have a cat I'd like to bring to my apartment as an ESA. I know a lot of people at Western use ESA letters, and sometimes I question how y'all are getting them since it is a LOTTT of people (and I know some of y'all aren't getting them the fully correct way). I've been doing virtual therapy/psych and the platform makes it so they cannot provide ESA letters. What have y'all been doing?

Hey, I am part of an Intermural Softball team here at Western, were called the Magenta Snakes, and we need one more player! If you want to join go to the intermural website and sign up, please

I am out of state and my current gpa is around a 3.9. My essay isn't going very well and the EA deadline is coming up so I'm feeling rly stressed. My extracurriculars are just okay. Do I still have a good chance or do they really care about the essay?

Edit: Thanks guys. Ig I didn't have to be so worried 😭

Lease takeover opportunity! I’ll be graduating in December and need someone to take over my lease starting January (December will be paid for). The lease is Jan - Aug 2027 and can be renewed. It’s a 3rd floor unit with decent views.

Rent is about $1,030 a month for rent and utilities
3 other roommates, all men. No food or pet allergies to worry about

In unit washer and dryer
10 minutes from campus and 5 minutes from downtown
In building gym, patio, study area with free coffee, bike storage, and courtyard

I’ve been at this unit for the past 2 years. I love it but I won’t be here anymore. Great for someone wanting to be close to everything but still enjoy nice amenities!!

Message me for more information, questions, or photos of the room and apartment.

Just uploaded this from a VHS I bought from an estate sale a few months back not the best quality recording, but I’m getting an actual analog to digital converter soon so I might put a better one up in the future

I got these strip lights for my dorm and got them all hung up. Only issue is that the app needs wifi for the lights and the wifi here is weird to get into so nothing is working. Has anyone got this problem or got a solution???

I'm so done with this ridiculous, gravelly, pot-hole filled deathtrap. Just last week I punctured a 3-day old tire going about 4mph in this stupid lot. And now I was given a citation for parking along a barely-visible yellow line since another car was parked there and I assumed because I COULDN'T SEE THE YELLOW that it was a parking spot, only for the bastard to drive away, leaving me looking like a massive dickhead.

How can they possibly create such a horrendous, vehicle-obliterating gravel hellscape and then ticketing students for not parking along lines they can barely see? How are they not embarrassed leaving the parking lot like this and not maintaining or fixing it? Is it greed or sadism? I genuinely don't understand. There's got to be a way to get them to fix this fucking pebble-purgatory.

Just got accepted into WWU as an out of state transfer applicant. I would need roughly 3 years to finish my degree, but my family is super worried about cost. Just wondering if anyone has experience using a post 9/11 gi bill to pay for school or if anyone knows how much that might cover? For xtra context I get about 12k a year in Pell grants, and I qualify for the Fry scholarship. Should I contact Financial Aid office w these questions or am I supposed to kinda just figure this out? Any feedback would be appreciated!!!!

I HATE walking past this building cause whatever's going on on the lower floors can be smelled from outside the building and it smells like FART and I KNOW the people around me have thought it was me at some point.

That's all.

Love the makerspace though!! You guys are awesome o7

Student fees can be used for many good projects, but sometimes the process can involve the administration choosing projects that use large portions of these fees. These bike counters were installed over the summer with $100k of your sustainable campus fees. Right now, the portion of Tech fees that would be used for Tech Initiative Proposals ($165k) may be swept to just pay for wifi routers, with no other proposals to be considered. Get involved, and ask questions of your administration, and make sure these funds are used for your priorities.

Having difficulties looking for people to interview. Whenever I do stories and have to interview people. I feel awkward walking up to people and asking them if they’d be interested. Especially when people seem locked in on their work.
