beautiful campus full of friendly, welcoming people. a diverse amount of academic programs with excellence in many. in the middle of an awesome town with many attractions and places to go.
Kyle from Shoreline, WA
A beautiful campus with many art sculptures within it and with friendly people that will let you eat with them and even wave hi to you when you don't even know them. Small class sizes , an awesome sport facility with a swimming pool and a big library. You can get to just about everywhere in Bellingham by bus, biking or walking though the mall and Costco are a bit far from campus.
