WOU lost its ASL interpreting accreditation [no longer listed on the official website below] and didn't give notice to the current students! This is important information that needs to be shared with current and potential students. Do better. http://www.ccie-accreditation.org/accredited-programs.html

Hey everybody am i the only one who still feels pretty socially isolated even though classes are in person? As a full-time student and having a full-time job its hard to participate in most clubs and events because they all seem to happen when im unavailable! Any ideas yall?

Hi Everyone,

I have been working for some time now on this website ratemycourses.io and I am really excited to share it with you.

You can use this to look at reviews and get advice on courses you're interested in. You can also sort courses by difficulty, usefulness and the overall rating from reviews made by other students. I think if enough people start using it regularly. it's going to be essential when you're choosing your electives or just to get advice on courses you will be taking.

Lastly, filtering and sorting courses is only gonna be useful and accurate if there are a lot of reviews, so please go ahead and leave some reviews to courses you've taken or are currently taking.

Also, please dm me if you have an idea on how I can let more students know about this. And if anyone is interested in writing an article about this dm me!

Enjoy!!

Hey guys, I plan to transfer to WOU in the fall. This is my third year in college and I know I don’t have to live on campus, but I was wondering for those of you who have lived on campus, how you guys like it? Do you guys recommended it? Is there events going on every day or is it like a pretty chill campus?

Hi! I’m transferring from out of state and am a first generation college student so I have no idea what to expect or do or anything. Any advice/tips/recommendations on college stuff or the area (what it’s like, places to eat for vegetarians, what there is to do for fun)? Any info is greatly appreciated 😅

I am at the point where my school's are getting narrowed down and was just wondering how students recommend the computer science program here

I feel like the classes have been overly stressful and a lot more homework than the professors are struggling to grade, but still are making us do. Also with the uncertainty of the campus is going to shut down is imo making it even worse.

Hi all,

I'm kinda new in town and have seen some cross country runners every once in a while around town. Are y'all just doing the roads or are there some trails I haven't discovered?
Drivers seem very respectful here, but trails would still be my preference.

​

Cheers.

Hi, all. I'm a reporter with Oregon Public Broadcasting. We're doing a survey of students who are moving into university residence halls throughout Oregon. If you're interested in sharing your thoughts (concerns, excitement) about your move-in, please take part in this quick survey. Thanks! https://www.opb.org/article/2021/09/16/living-on-campus-this-fall-opb-wants-to-hear-from-you/

Many many of my friends at WOU failed multiple classes because their learning style does not allow them to do well with online classes, especially online labs. I have head of many schools around the country abolishing grades or at least changing the pass/fail requirements for the year.

Is WOU doing anything like this?

Hello all! I am in the process of applying to the masters of teaching program for winter term of next year. I know this sub is small but is anyone in a teaching program at WOU? I am applying to the hybrid format for secondary teaching. I would love some insight on other people’s experiences and advice.

Hi all, i'm posting an invite link to a server for people to get with other likeminded individuals and study together as well as sharing tips and tricks. https://discord.gg/j3y2aPq4z9

Hello, so as the title says I'm unsure if I'm still required to live on campus during my first year if I didn't immediately attend college after high school. I had a very rough time in school, which ended with me dropping out a few months before graduation after my principal threatened me in 2019. This meant that I spent the next year working and studying for my GED so I could attend college.

It has been over a year since I left and in about 3 months from now it would have been a year since my graduation. I'm planning to enroll in the fall term since apartments in monmouth and dallas are much cheaper (with a roommate) than living on campus. My best friend started at WOU last year since her parents where supporting her financially and she is looking to move out of the dorms soon, so we have been planning to move together.

Do I still need to live on campus as a first year student, or will the threshold of one year our of high school as listed on their website apply to me?

I have the credits needed to apply for my degree, but I can’t seem to find where I do it. When I search for it all I find is commencement info that just happened this summer.

Hi y’all!

I got accepted to WOU, and I was wondering if WOU would be a good fit for me.

Currently, I plan on getting my bachelors in psychology. I love psychology and it’s always been something I’m interested in.

However, there are other fields I haven’t had much exposure to, but also think could be rewarding career paths. Namely, occupational therapy and genetic counseling. From what I’ve researched, most masters programs for those fields will accept people who have a bachelors in psychology.

To my knowledge, WOU is a very social science oriented school. So I’m wondering, would WOU be a good place to explore those fields while also continuing with a psych degree, or would it be better to go to a more science oriented school like OSU?

Any and all insight is is greatly appreciated 😊

Not sure if this subreddit is the place to post this but I'm looking for something outside of apartments.com or zillow.com to find a studio/1 bed 1 bath apartment. I am also open for rooming with someone who would have a room open for rent. Independence and Monmouth area only. If there's any other websites or phone numbers that can help me please feel free to post them!

My wife will be attending in the fall, and so here I am. I’m a University of Washington graduate and the UW subreddit is booming, why isn’t that the case here? Is there some other forum students are using to communicate about various topics/issues? For instance is there a housing group? Buying/selling group etc?

I'm working on an undergraduate research project and it would be fantastic if you could take a couple minutes to fill this out. If you support small businesses and want to see entrepreneurs flourish, provided with what they need, your insight is valued.

Recently had an argument with someone about which food cart is the best, what do yall think?

Or start flowing it with content...

Like reviews of the Donut Truck or Indian Food cart; or how old CoE compares to ITC for classes; or The Press vs Cafe Allegro.

Best place to get work done on campus while being around people but not being bothered by them: Library second floor.

You?

Does anyone have an idea of when the most popular times are for people to workout?

And is it open 24/7 to workout in? Or only during business hours?

Hello fellow students,

I'm currently in the Gero program and am set to graduate next June. This coming term I have to do my first practicum at one of the retirement communities. I've had interviews with both Dallas Retirement Village and Capital Manor and they are both interested in taking me on.

Dallas is definitely closer, and gave me a sense of a positive working culture, but did not mention anything about hiring students after completing the Gero program. Capital Manor did say that they often hire students, but the way the interviewer talked about the facility and how it is run made me unsure if I would be comfortable there (interviewer made a distinct point to emphasize on how residents are more educated, more financially well off, and that they are essentially better than other communities). They are both very willing to let me jump around and shadow different departments to see where I would fit best, but I'm not sure which community to pick.

First day of class is the 30th and I would still need to return to get hours set up/forms signed and decide which department I would want to start in.

That being said, I have two questions: what were your experiences interning at these facilities and what is the likelihood of actually getting hired at one of these facilities? I would love to have a job right out of the gate, but want to make sure I would fit in well.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much!
