Average Rating
WWU is an incredible place to learn and live. It is small enough to not get lost in the crowd and recognize others while walking around but big enough to never be bored and continually meet new people. Nothing bad to report.

A close-knit, diverse community in a suburban city. Access to many activities, both inside and outside of campus. Friendly students and staff!
