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.

It is situated rather far away from Seattle, so, if you want to go there, you can either take a small plane (book your tickets well in advance!) or rent a car.

“Well-known for my field of study”

Sinem U

United States,
Biology, 2025

Overall

WSU is one of the old universities in WA. It is not good in every field but it is known very well for veterinary and agriculture studies. I am in Immunology and infectious diseases program under the college of Vet. Medicine which is 4th in world-wide rankings.

Careers

I do not know exactly for the students but, many professors and post-docs apply for short term research studies.

Pros

Immunology and Animal studies are well-combined

Cons

There are more vets than life-science graduates
