Daughter considering going to CWU. Can students get by without a vehicle?

So basically I brought my own mini fridge in my dorm since the tiny ass one that was given can’t fit shit and I constantly fought over space and was wondering how should i hide it.

Me and my roommate who are both in our second year decided to get a off campus apartment (not university owned apartment). Prior to signing the lease we called housing and they said to fill out the housing cancelation forms and pay the fees. However they did not mention that we may not be able to get out of the contract. Now we can't get out of the housing contract and our reason was financial reasons but they denied our contract ending because "there's cheaper dorms". We are trying to appeal the decision. Can we get out of the cwu housing contract or are we out of luck?

Hey! I’m currently writing my essay for the aviation program application and I’m wondering if anyone that’s gotten in has any tips :) Note: I am in the very early stage of writing the essay, and it’s not even a rough draft yet

A bit about me: I am currently getting my PPL, so unfortunately that means it’s going to be even harder for me to get in. I had a 3.8 GPA whilst taking advanced classes, and I have 45 college credits from college in the high school. I worked at RiteAid during my junior and senior years and I was a student rep on the school board. Right now I’m getting my PPL and I’m the state lead for the political organization Progressive Victory.

First of all, there’s no recommended length, so I’m not sure how long it should be. What’s a good word count? I’m already at 500 words and I haven’t even touched on one of the points, but I can quite easily trim it down since I was yapping too much about what sparked my interest lol.

As a reminder, the questions are:

What sparked your interest in aviation?

Why do you want to become a professional pilot? (As you can see, I’ve always had a love for transit and aviation, and that has fueled my desire to become a professional pilot. Nothing else in this world has interested me more. I also get to see the beauty of the world. Instead of a dull office job with the same dull commute every day, I get to see the land, water, clouds, and sky from my seat.) I’m not super confident on this one. Anything else I should talk about?

Why have you chosen CWU Aviation for your flight training? (CWU seems like the perfect school to fulfill my dream of becoming a professional pilot. The ability to get a bachelor's degree in a related field while simultaneously doing flight training is a fantastic opportunity and unparalleled in Washington. I went to the preview day on October 5th, and I was amazed by the campus and the planes. The campus itself was beautiful with a surprising amount of greenery, as well as impressive architecture. What really impressed me though was the fleet of airplanes. My flight school has 5 planes, only one of which has a glass cockpit, so seeing over a dozen aircraft, almost all with G1000s, was exciting and made me even more eager to train at CWU. I also think having the opportunity to fly with both traditional and modern instruments in my training will be an asset in my career.)

With 300 applicants last year, the program is highly competitive—what sets you apart from other candidates? Here I’m not sure what to talk about. My best qualities that I can back up with experience is that I’m good at dealing with others (working customer service at riteaid, organizing and running meetings, events, phonebanks, etc with PV, being on the school board, etc.), I’m a leader (school board, PV. This feels kinda more generic though so prolly won’t go with this one), or that I’m a free/critical thinker (school board; it was going through a lot of drama and we reps were getting silenced by the district, so I revised and passed the student rep policy; that was a whole thing. Also PV. After typing all of this out, I’ve realized the first one is probably the best one to go with, but please let me know what you think!).

Finally, where do you envision yourself in your aviation career five years from now? (After completing my training at CWU, I see myself being a CFI, because I have always had a passion for helping others and teaching, and it seems like a great path towards building my hours. (Highlight mom being influence) My mom is a teacher and it has been an alternate career that I’ve considered, so I think being a CFI would be a perfect fit for me. I also see myself as a competent and confident pilot, after dedicating myself to flying at CWU and beyond in my pursuits.) I feel pretty good about this one. It’s still the very first draft so it needs to be refined, but yeah. Once again, lmk if there’s anything I should change!

Been looking for a fun way to meet new people but it doesn’t seem like there are any Halloween parties

I'm a prospective music education major from out of state (choral emphasis). I just want to hear from current music majors about the environment and how y'all feel about the program.

Is there spots other than Starbucks that you can park near that is free. Im a bike most days but sometimes I want to park and I don't mind the walk. Last year I used the bus but this year I want to start using my car.

I just started at CWU and I'm curious. Are there any super left wing or super right wing politically motivated professors or classes that could be seen as "persuading" students world views or the dreaded "if you don't believe what I believe you'll fail this class" type of professors?

What are some good off campus apartment complexes?

We're looking for a 2 bdrm in a quiet complex

Edit: we found a place. Thanks for all the suggestions.

How is the glacier apartments?

There's no official instructions for connecting a 3DS. Has anyone else figured out if there is a way?

Hi everyone, does anyone know if there are red light cameras on Dean Nicholson Blvd? I accidentally ran a red light, and I’m feeling a bit worried about it.

Hi I’m a sophomore this year and I’m wondering if we get new connection cards per year or just hang on to our old ones? The only reason I ask is that my card no longer unlocks the door to my work so I’m wondering if it’s an issue with an old card or if my work changed it somehow. I will be asking when I go in today but I’m just wondering!

I just want to give everyone a heads-up that there's a phishing attempt going on around CWU. Last night, I got an e-mail titled "NOTICE OF TERMINATION FROM THE ADMIN" originating from what is obviously a student's compromised account. The message states:

"We notice that your office 365 has two different logins with two universities' portals. Kindly Indicate the two info logins as soon as possible. To avoid termination within 24hrs, we expect you to adhere and address it Click Here To Verify Your Account"

The link apparently goes to a scammy form that asks for your personal information. CWU would never send an e-mail like this. If you receive this e-mail, do not click on the links. Report it as phishing.

Anyone else having this issue? I was going to use some of my return to pay my rent but now it says it's going to disburse 10/02 when it was originally 09/16. Anyone know why the change or if the October date is even correct?

Hi. It's the back to school season everyone. Would anyone would like to have a back to school party? Something fun just for the hell of it

Two of my classes are online for fall quarter. On mycwu, they still have days and times that are TBA. My other two in person classes obviously have posted their schedule. I’m getting anxious about this because my work needs my availability and idk when there will be zoom lectures, if at all. Anyone know when they will come up with the days and times, or if? My partner said they might be totally asynchronous.

Does anyone know if you can use dining dollars for Grubhub mobile ordering & pickup on campus- or are you only able to use Wildcat Bucks for Grubhub mobile ordering?

Theoretically speaking, Would it be alright to bring an air fryer to my room?

Maybe a long shot but I took SolidWorks taught by Bramble back in 2019 and I remember the textbook being really helpful and part of a series. Does anyone here happen to know what textbook that class used/uses?

Does anyone know of any community spaces for Atheists or Agnostics to connect with other ex-Christians who are deconstructing their faith? I know the Unitarian Universalist church exists and I have been a couple of times, I just haven't found it helpful for some reason. I think students and adults at CWU or elsewhere in Ellensburg could benefit from a community like this, I know I would have benefitted from it during my college years.

I swear everyone I meet left and right gets hired at Boeing regardless of their major. If not they know graduates who got hired at Boeing

TW: suicide attempt (I'm okay now), medical invalidation

I am not trying to slander CWU. They have done good things for my life. But I believe it's important to speak up even if they truth isn't always pretty. I hope this helps someone. I wouldn't say "don't go to CWU" for it but I would say if you have serious mental health problems, anything in the DSM, to stay away from their counseling. Go to the hospital instead. Or call 988. I say this as a previous student. I had several experiences with the counseling services team when I was there on and off 2019-2023. This is not just a CWU thing, it happens at a lot of schools and colleges but my worst experiences ever were here.

I tried to seek therapy or even just crisis management mulitple times when I was there. After a few times of being dismissed for have problems that were "too difficult" all I really hoped to get out of them was help with transferring care to someone who was qualified. But they don't do that either.

Event:

The worst was right after an attempt. I was scared, and feeling the effects of it both mentally and physically for which I was not assisted with in getting any medical attention for. I should have gone to the hospital anyway but I was scared. I was so scared. I talked to a junior therapist about it and she was concerned but not prepared to deal with it for some reason so she got her boss who called someone from the state to talk to me. It was all very bureaucratic. I was scared and lied and said I wasn't in danger anymore. They scared me with being held in a mental hospital against my will. I didn't know what would happen to me in there. I shouldn't have lied but I wasn't as brave back then. I texted my old therapist who I had bonded to off-the-clock and she called them. I remember them being very dismissive, which fell in line with how I had felt previously. She told me, and said I wasn't supposed to say this to their face (but it's been some time now so I don't really care besides none of this should be very identifying as I have heard mulitple stories from others that similar things have happened to them), but that the boss guy said something like "she's faking it/making it up". oh yeah, they also misgendered me lol, although that is typical in medical fields regardless. I don't remember what was said exactly as my memories always get a little fuzzy when I have something traumatic happen. Luckily I had some friends that kept an eye on me, and even disposed of my methods with my consent and supervision, but it was very touch-and-go for a while.

I didn't really speak up until now because I have only just gotten mentally stable and there is a lot of work left to do, but I actually felt "homesick" today. I didn't know that mentally stable people still had to get mental health care, but after feeling safe and loved enough by someone to actually feel the physical effects of missing them I can say I would like to talk to someone about it even though it isn't "that big of a deal". I do think the counseling services are great for that stuff, but as far as anything more serious than that AVOID.

Upon the investigation "Daniel"'s Offerup account was deactivated. Yes!

The backstory for those that dont know: Daniel was an idiot from offerup who was impersonating CWU faculty and threatened to have me kicked out.
