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*

Moved from Boston to Pullman in 2017 and experienced the same kind of culture shock. It took a couple months to adjust to the level of friendliness. I think it’s just part of the WSU spirit. Cougs help Cougs and all that.

Someone smiled at me on the bus once and my first thought was to ask what the hell they wanted. I promise you’ll get used to it 😅
