Whitworth University is one of the best private universities in Washington, yet they don't receive the credit they deserve. The campus is immaculate, the food catering is amazing, and the social life of the campus (clubs, meets, etc.) are always happening. This is one of the best places to be. I wish this place got more recognition for their perks.

The campus is beautiful and the professors are wonderful and actually care about you as a person. The only true letdown is the food.

Whitworth is for unwitting conservatives with all the money in the world and none of the brains.

The mask mandate is not enforced here at all. Totally Covid-19 unsafe.
Overall 1
This school is psudeochristianoty and elitism to the mask. No one on campus could care less if all of the students up and disappeared as long as the got their money. The way this school treats people is atrocious. I am disgusted. This school doesn't take Covid-19 seriously.

Money hungry, so glad i left

Whitworth is a mediocre school and not worth the price of the education. Highly disappointing.
Overall 1.4
You give everything you have to this school. Back breaking work. Future debt, current money for books ect. They treat you horribly in return and then at the end you get a peice of paper that barely makes all the effort with it.

Remote students are pushed to the side in every way at Whitworth, especially with the New Spring 2021 decision. They will force student to go back to in person classes at least part of the time before the pandmeic is truly over despite months students inability to probably get a vaccine by then. Disgusting money grubbing people, don't go here. Run

I attended 2011-2013 and acquired 32 credits prior to being withdrawn by the 'powers-that-be'. There are no activities for non-traditional students. Whitworth does not believe Spokane has a military culture and has not heard about Fairchild Air Force Base. This post may even be removed. Whitworth is not veteran friendly. BEWARE VETERANS!

Definitely do not attend if you plan to be a remote student. I was approved for distanced learning, signed up for classes and a few weeks before classes started I had professors notifying me that I would have to drop their classes because they wouldn't be able to teach me virtually. By that time all the other classes were full, unbelievable.
