HOUSING

Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The age difference here is a big culture change from anyone who has lived in the United Kingdom. If you are under 21 the drinking laws are very strict. Being 21 I would like to be able to drink in my room, am allowed but only am allowed three people in my room at a time and they have to be 21 or over.
Personal comments:
I live on what is called "The Hill" halls, these are by far the nicest on campus and the situation of them is fantastic. The residence hall is close to all classes and the building is fantastic , with big rooms and nice areas to work and socialise.

Language was not a problem for me and was so nice to know that my english language was helping American students, with the different vocabulary and literary differences. Communication on the whole was easy and not a problem and people here are very interested in finding out more about you and your country

Personal recommendation:
Come to WSU if you are 21 or over and love the feel of a campus , if you are all of the above you will have the best time ever



FINAL COMMENTS

If you come to WSU, spend time in organising going to califdornia and Seattle , I feel in love with both of these places and think that if you are from England if you like London you will love Seattle. Be ready to be exhausted with meeting people it is very challenging but so worth the rewards six weeks in.
