They claim tuition is 22k but they charge more for the 6-week summer semester.

Big campus feel on a small campus: clean buildings, nice library, computer and WiFi access, the professors are professional, clean classrooms, green and lush. If you are local, you should tour this campus before choosing elsewhere. Some professors assign difficult coursework, so I used this website. Thank you ratemyprofessors.

If professors were required to tell students which pages or lecture slides that test questions are actually located within then student grades and their GPA would benefit.

They need mandatory 5-10 min. breaks if classes run more than an hour and a half. It is by chance if a professor chooses to give you one. Two hour, three hour lectures are literally numbing. Who takes two, or three hour road trips without a stop? Those professors who actually care about the circulation of your lower extremities I commend.

Great alternative to the Pullman campus. I wanted to go to a good school and be with family while I attended. Great choice, great school.

Very limited class choice, pretty much just one or two to choose from in each subject. Library is very small but can order books. Suburban campus location leaves limited options for off campus dinning and activities. School could use a lot more community involvement they just don?t interact with the local area. Teachers are all strict about writ

If I had to make the decision all over again, I would not attend WSUV. I'm not happy with the "education" I received. Every instructor I had taught straight from the book and it felt as though I could have missed every non-test day. This kind of instruction does not cultivate an adequate learning environment. Also, the clubs/activities were a joke.
Overall 1.9
Discriminates against the students trying to juggle work and education. Class at ten in the morning!? I don't think so, evening classes and hybrid/online classes are needed for the working adult. Get real. Nothing but a headache this university.
