Is Washington State University a good college?
I'm planning on going to college in washington, and am considering WSU. So i was wondering if it was a good college. Is it nice? Like the building and such. What is the average ethnicity and age? And the GPA? Is it a high academic achieving college? And I'll most likely major in law.

Answer 1 :
WSU does not have a law school, so if you were thinking about staying in one place to complete your law degree, WSU would not be the right place. WSU has some very strong academic programs, but is widely known as the "party school" of Washington. From someone who grew up in "cougar country" I can tell you that the majority of my friends who went there absolutely love it, but most of them are hardcore partiers. If you don't mind being in an environment where almost all students drink (at times extremely heavily- but this happens at almost all schools) then you will find lots of amazing things at WSU. If you want to get your law degree at the same school where you do your undergrad you would need to go to UW, Seattle U or Gonzaga (my personal favorite-I'm a current student). UW has a strong law school, but has a tendency NOT to admit their own undergrads to their law school (for reasons that dont really make sense to me). My sister is currently in the law school at Seattle U and absolutely loves it. From attending Gonzaga, I can tell you that there have been many powerful Gonzaga law grads (there was a GU law grad in almost every statewide political election last cycle I believe). Chris Gregoire (current governor), Mary Fairhurst (state supreme court justice), George Nethercutt (congressman) all attended Gonzaga. I would recommend one of those three schools over WSU.
Answer 2 :
They do not have a law program. I would see about the University of Washington or Gonzaga. WSU is out in the boondocks. What you can do is go to a community college take your 100-200 level courses, then transfer into a 4 year college. Seattle is much nicer than wherever that other school is. Bill Gates Sr. donated a ton of money to the law school at the UW. It has now a brand new beautiful library and classrooms. I'd go there.
