"Called to get information on a program, staff on phone completely not helpful. Was interested in one of their online programs. Was also told that the admission staff does not like to speak on the phone and would prefer all questions via email. Told me that a bachelor's wouldn't be enough to apply for their associates degree program. Such a weird vibe from phone call one Shall keep looking"
"No idea how to rate the classes offered at this institution. However, I love just hanging around this campus and its buildings, especially the library. Loads and loads of books and magazines for my reading pleasure."
"Impressive campus, my first time there. The Jazz Concert with David Basse and Angela Hagenbach was enjoyable and the musicians were excellent. It was a nice change and a fun time with friends. I look forward to more events and would like to see the art museum on campus."
"I love Washburn! I’ve made so many friends here, and the faculty and staff want the students to succeed. It’s small enough that you know a lot of people around campus, but not so small that everyone knows everyone. Perfect size, great people, and beautiful campus."
"Beautiful school, great location, very good academics."
