I am in my senior year at EWU and I have just had a wonderful experience. I started here before covid and had to adapt. The teachers at EWU are amazing. The staff just want you to succeed. I do not regret coming here. I joined a frat, created many friendships and experiences that i will hold close to my heart forever.

PMR (read backwards) is for zeros. These people have no credibility. It's just another for profit group of losers. Don't base any decisions on these deviants. They should be locked up.

EWU is a last resort for state universities in WA. UW is first. WSU is second. WWU is third. CWU is fourth. EWU comes in a distant fifth. The profs aren't qualified to be at better schools. EWU reputation is so poor they have to rely on pools of international students who aren't smart enough to go to better schools.

not a good school professors are bad, advising is bad, cs program is bad for the most part other than a few good professors but the bad far outweighs it. could not recommend less.
Overall 1.6
Feel unwelcome on campus. Would not recommend for non traditional students. Student services are a huge mess. Website is unusable and difficult. Good teachers but thats about it.
Overall 1.7
Are you trying to transfer your credits? Forget it.
Do you need to deal with registration? I am sorry for you.
Do you need anything from the school? That is your problem.
Generally, I will say an underfunded, short-staffed, mediocre school. Look up how many times the president has changed in the last few years and why...

During COVID no building was open expect the dorms, the gym and the chow hall. They still gave us 6 different fees like "Technology fee" "Medical fee" when we had no access to the library or or any medical services expect 911. No clubs were allowed to gather, no sports took place, nobody was allowed meet any advisors, counsels or anyone.
Overall 1.9
Very low expectations so easy to get a meaningless degree. Pay your money and you'll get an easy degree.

I cannot wait to get out of Cheney. Freshman year I was so excited to be here. I never encourage anyone to attend this school: spend the extra bucks (realistically not that much) and go somewhere else. Faculty doesnt care, sports are decent, but not worth the hassle. Attend a different school.

This place is just average with terrible food.
