There's some stuff close by, but you have to go downtown for other things, and you really have to go to Seattle or Vancouver if you want to big city things.



City/Town/Community:
Downtown is cool, but you can tell it's smaller than some other places.

Campus Visit Notes for Western Washington University


Visit Description:

Our tour guide was good. She seemed stressed with school, but I guess that's normal.

Other than the rude guy on the bike who nearly ran into my mom, it was pretty nice. I like that it was so green, but the rain in the morning was a bit annoying.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Okay. We stayed downtown.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

I had a burger on campus that wasn't awesome, but I also had a turkey sandwich that really good.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Downtown is cool and really cute.
