    Am learning a lot

    The classes are challenging and interesting. I do not feel over-whelmed at all. The classes in my major (Criminal Justice) are the most interesting. They are so fun to attend that it makes learing easy!
    Am enjoying being here

    My dorm is very active. The building is clean and updated. My roommate and I are getting along well. There is so much to do on campus that you are always busy. Definitely put in your feedback if the activities are not your style! The campus offers a lot and is well kept.
    Bang for the buck

    At WSC the education value was just rated number 1, ahead of Harvard for the college that offers a great education for the best value! After I graduate I will have very little to re-pay and will not be in debt for years.
    Tips for prospective students

    Check out the campus and the professors in your major. WSC offers a lot of meet and greets for prospective students so take advantage of them!
    Great for these types of students

    There is something for every type of student. They have great facilities and offer great majors. There is all types of student living from quiet dorms to noisy dorms. There is a fit for everyone.

    Am learning a lot

    I am a transfer student and coming from another school I can definitely say I am learning alot. All of my teachers are experts in their topic and professional in how they handle the class. I believe this makes the class atmosphere very effective.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are alot of activities going on at WSU, which I was surprised by at first. But there really is alot of activities to immerse yourself in as long as you put in the effort to do so.
    Bang for the buck

    The education, the campus, and the town of Westfield and everything it has to offer is well worth going to. There's also alot of support provided by tutors, academic advisers, and other programs. You'll have fun!
    Tips for prospective students

    Make use of all the opportunities available. And please don't be shy. You can make some great friends here.

    If you like a small school and smaller class sizes you are in the right place. WSU also has plenty of chances for you to be a leader.

    Am learning a lot

    As a freshman you need to take all of your general education requirements, even though they might not be as interesting depending on your interests you still learn a lot! The class sizes are great, I do not have one class with more the 25 students and each one of my classes are lecture style. If you show up to your class, pay attention, and do your studying you definitely will learn a lot.
    Am enjoying being here

    I am definitely enjoying being a student at WSU. The best advice I can give is to get involved. It is so much easier to meet people and it makes you feel a part of the school. I also love walking around campus and seeing the majority of students in WSU gear, its a small thing but it shows school spirit!
    Bang for the buck

    WSU is the most inexpensive school I applied to and at this school the personal attention and respect you get is definitely worth it, I feel at safe, comfortable, and at home here and I couldn't ask for anything more. This school is definitely a good bargain in comparison to some other schools in the state and surrounding area.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get involved! Talk to people, and get to know your RA he/she can be very helpful and if you have a good relationship with them they can lead you in the right direction with any questions or concerns you may have.
    Great for these types of students

    People who like a small, convenient campus that isn't in the city. Also for people who need smaller class sizes and for people who don't want to be just a number.

    Lovely campus, must go and see for yourself. Also helpful if you know someone there and they take you around the campus themselves.

    Tips for prospective students

    Buy your books online, avoid the bookstore.
    What to do for fun

    Go to sports games.
    Bang for the buck

    Registration is difficult.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Stanley park is located just across from the University. It is fun to feed the ducks.

    Will learn a lot

    Cant answer this one too much, I have not sat in on a class yet, though I've been here 4 times. I have seen everything but that, and I can sense that I will learn a lot. I am the type of person who appreciates and admires learning, as well as the concept itself. From professors that I have met at open houses, they seem to know not just the information, but know how the teaching process works. I also admire the diverse teaching staff here, and how they make a great fit for WSU. I hope to work with everyone that i met. I especially enjoyed chatting with Political Science prof., David Smailes. He was very nice, knowledgeable, and understanding. PS is one of my interests and I hope to have him. Open House was great BTW, beautiful banquet hall, very explanatory but I did not feel pushed to come here.
    Will enjoy being here

    Love the new dining hall, Ely Hall, etc. Its all fixed up nice, and lots more building projects are being planned here.
    Bang for the buck

    $7000 is great, especially if you are commuting. You get more than what you pay for. If you come here for convieience, size, and price, than you'll be all set here. Just dont come here to merely party and drink, it is a dry campus and campus police are very good at catching things like that. Extremely user-friendly organization, staff know things like the back of their hand. Very upbeat and cut-to-the-chase answers to questions.
    Great for these types of students

    those who want to save money, and are satisfied with a good education but arent looking for prestige. Those who can appreciate user-friendly interface of WSU. Those who would like to live at or near home, and dont like the confusion of HUGE schools. But also dont like really small schools, where everyone knows you. It is a smart blend of both worlds
