Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | If you don't mind the frigid winters, WMU can really be a great place to get your degree. People are friendly, the tuition is cheap, and parties are very wild. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | I have not had the opportunity to check in on their status today. However, it can be assumed they still have a dynamic program. |
| Program Quality | 7 | The education I received was excellent. All of my classmates had their own views and styles; this provided excellent influence for my future. |
| Instruction | 8 | From what I learned in class and how I handle customers, it all balances out rather well. I know the ins and outs, the liabilities and benefits from showing my skill. |
| How Difficult | 8 | It was a party school, so balancing out work and fun was a bit of a juggle. However, diligence paid off in the long run during study nights. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | It was a mixture of book and street smarts. You'd go hands on one day and read a boat load the next. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 9 | Working at your own pace, the classes made life very simple. I had fun on my own terms and loved every class. |
| Academic Facilities | 6 | School halls were a little aged. Students were amazing, but the buildings showed their wear and tear. |
| Social Life | 8 | The recreational center was amazing. Also, it's a gorgeous campus in the summer. |
| Placement Services | 7 | It was rather rough to find a good job at first. However, this is not the school's fault; the economy has a lot of the blame. |
| Alumni Network | 9 | The faculty was extremely nice and helpful. They knew what they were talking about, which was a major benefit. |
