I have many great friends that attend Walla Walla University! I really enjoy the professors as well. My academic major in Social is exactly where I should be! My University offers a Masters in my course of study. I will continue on and get a Masters in Social Work. I currently, have a job in the Social Work Department. I enjoy it very much!

I felt like my professor really cared about me and I was able to find a close knit community. I wish that our school did more to stand up for LGBTQ+ students, and I wish that we were provided with better housing. A major benefit of our school is that we have a nice rock climbing wall and a cozy student run coffee shop.

I loved the strong student life. Because almost everyone lived on campus, there was always something happening. Student association events occurred on weekdays and weekends, there were concerts, athletics games, worship services, outdoor guided trips, and more. The spiritual life on campus was really genuine and made questioning and exploring my faith easy. The professors cared about your success and we learned from a lot of expert guest lecturers. I wish the internship experience had been more structured in my major, although I know other departments did better at placing interns. My study abroad experience through the college was exceptional. The food was vegetarian and had good variety until my last year, when management changed and it became much more monotonous. Overall, the well-rounded skills and personal connections I made at WWU were life changing.
