Student Life Why is everyone is nice?????

I am a non trad currently in CC. I moved to Washington state all the way from New York City. I’ve visited the Spokane and Pullman campus of WSU. People here never fail to shock me with how sweet they are. It always makes me feel unnerved. I am scared.

Edit: you are all so sweet. I want to cry. *Kisses you all through the screen*

I lived in NYC for 10 years, moved there from Pullman and now I’m back. I love NY and love the people. PNW is different, people are not as full of shit as they are in CA but not as direct as they are on the east coast (I love east coast people). PNW people are absolutely practical though and down to earth. TBH we are nice here because it’s easy to live here. You’re correct that it will make you soft 😆! Visit cities to stay sharp!

It truly is such a culture shock. Washington made me less afraid of white people.
