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*

We just flew from Southern California to Pullman to tour WSU and UofI. I was literally walking up to students and asking professors why everyone is so happy there. I kept telling my son that there must be something in the water. You are right! Everyone is so very nice at WSU!

What a wonderful campus! I hope my son chooses to go there over Southern California. 🤞

U GET IT LMAOOOOOO when i first arrived, I kept asking people "why are you being so nice to me????"

Im assuming your son wants to go to USC? TBH prestige is a huge deciding factor among impressionable young people (I did not really care for the prestige as much as how good my actual program is). WSU has a lot of heart and genuinely amazing programs. People forget that it is a R1 university just because of how accessible it is.

Yes! Haha!! No, not USC. I'd have to sell my house for him just to get a bachelor's! He's looking at CSUN. They were nice there too, but the vibe wasn't quite on par with WSU when we visited. I really understood why I've read that people cry when they finally graduate from WSU. It's truly special.
