申请点评
- Student Body: In Washington we are definetly a melting pot. We have every ethnicity represented here and everyone gets along great. We also have culture clubs for every culture. I feel very comfortable here and everyone is here for the same thing an education.
- Campus Resources: There are lots of computer labs and the printing fees are relatively inexpensive. Also, the wireless reliability is alright for phone or laptop use.
- Campus Resources: I think the athletic centers are great and the library provides a great place for studying with plenty of desks and separated study areas for group work.
- Campus Resources: You basically can't get signal at Web Café and cafeteria unless you connect the school Wi-Fi, which sometimes you can't connect with.
- Campus Resources: The gym is free for students. It's be better if they got a swimming pool and lower the printing price at the library.
- Academic Experience: The teacher here are very dedicated to all students.
- Academic Experience: There is a wide range in subjects in all areas of study. Math and science classes have a ruff workload.
- Academic Experience: Some of the professors aren't the best but most show good knowledge of the subject they teach. Also, the registration process can be very difficult, especially for transfers. I've heard about this from a friend who had difficulty transfering and eventually just gave up.*(4)
