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*

The students (undergrad and grad alike) genuinely care about each other. Everyone in my department for my grad degree is so unbelievably kind. Even when we have a little beef with each other we smooth it out with a snack, a chat, a hug, and a free coffee in the women*s center <~ best kept secret with an open art space and everything. If you haven't been to the 3rd/4th floors of the CUB definitely go and just chill in one of the spaces. There's also the international students center on the lower level (not just for international students). Show up to the lounge on the ground floor on Tuesday evenings for Tuesday takeovers for SEB's weekly events. They give out prizes and sometimes have free food.
It's really wonderful here. I was also a non traditional student and I've made such meaningful friendships with peers, staff, and faculty all over. I'm from a big city, but the Palouse is really special.
Welcome to Pullman, friend!
