K is a great school! I was very close to a lot of my professors, and I made some really great…read morefriends for life! My favorite aspect of the school is the study abroad program. There are so many options for study abroad, and the school makes it so easy for students to fit it into their 4 year plan. The SIP (Senior Independent research Project) and Comps (Comprehensive exams) made senior year quite difficult. But I still had a great 4 years!

Unlike most of the small liberal arts schools in Michigan, K is very worldly and diverse, and offers great opportunities for art and culture to students that would not be available at other small schools, except possibly Oberlin and the prestigious colleges on the East Coast. Also, congratulations to the cast and crew of the original play ALLISON SHIELDS, which is competing in the Kennedy Center College Theater competition.

Speaking of the most well known and highly anticipated is Bronco Bash! After a hiatus because of everything back in 2020. It finally came back and it was worth the wait. Just like this art by a fellow student. Can't wait for the next one!

I've been going to this school for 5 years now, and just this year they decided to raise tuition…read more Understandable because prices go up over the years normally. But I recently started touring other schools and I've now realized below the bar western has become. To start: the math and science departments are both terrible. Organic has such a high fail rate it's been suggested...by Wmu staffers...that I take it at the neighboring community college just to be able to pass it, at a cheaper rate no less. The TA's for the math classes offered at WMU also suggest taking calculus classes elsewhere as the classes aren't designed to help the average student learn adequately enough to pass. Secondly, one of my biggest digressions with this university is what they have done to the nature preserve Asylum Lake. Since buying it, they now ticket people for parking there without a valid university parking pass, yet refuse to put any upkeep into the preserve. Fallen trees on paths, overgrown paths that are still advertised as paths is unacceptable and despicable. I've been running there for five years and this is the first year I've experienced these issues. The reason I give this university three stars and not just one is due to the amazing staff at park view and their outstanding engineering program. No complaints there. The teachers are helpful, in class and out with assisting you and aiding you in learning the material and being competent in the field. For this reason I haven't yet transferred. All in all, if western would spend money in the right places instead of insisting on new dining halls and endless useless fountains, this review would be 5 stars.

The Financial Aid Office is incredibly unhelpful…read more Firstly, while experiencing a technical problem, they prompted me to IT, who then prompted me BACK to the financial aid office. I spent an entire day going in circles. Additionally, I was told that my review could take up to 10 business days. And here I am, more than 10 days later, without a completed review. When I asked about the review, the financial aid office told me that they could not tell me anything. I thought these people were supposed to be here to help us. Apparently not.

Now the Computer Lab is a few computers with part time staff who can reset your password. There isn't the Office Technology lab or any of the open lab classes. Now classes are in person or web only and no technicians to help you if you are struggling but the Dental Hygiene department and the Nursing school are incredible! For those without dental insurance, the dental hygiene clinic clean teeth, do x rays, and a few other things. Great resource, but don't wait to the last minute for an appointment! They do fill up every semester! The welding program and auto program are other fantastic programs! Also, the Learning Center is another amazing free resource for students to help them with math classes, for example. There are a multitude of educational areas that you can get help with. The wheelchair ramp, however, is really steep! I have helped push students up the ramp when I worked there. Now, I couldn't imagine trying to navigate it with my rollator! When I go out there, I take my mobility scooter! I know at 5 1/2 mph, I can get up the ramp!
