- There is a lot of grade inflation, but it is not consistent, which tends to make changing GPA requirements very frustrating. Also, professor quality is variable - it is difficult to decide if a professor is good if they don't speak English very well and that is the language they are teaching in.

- Additional reviews of students:
- Heavy drinkers for the most part. Greek system seems a little closed, but most are all down to party.
- VERY diverse
- Overall people seem to be pretty nice but there are of course those who are irritating and snooty. There isn't a lot of diversity so there are some people who are quite ignorant but are pretty nice for the most part.
- I couldn't stand the student body. It is not diverse at all and most of the students are segregated. Some even make racist comments and are serious when they say them.
- If you are not a football fan or really into Greek Life, this is not the school for you.
- 83% said faculty members are Friendly.
- 83% said faculty members are Helpful.
- 13% said faculty members are Arrogant.
- 13% said faculty members are Condescending.
- 17% said faculty members are Self-Absorbed.
- 9% said faculty members are Unhelpful.
- Additional reviews of faculty:
- In general most professors want to see you succeed. You will run across the arrogant or condescending professor though.
- The actual professors are very helpful and know what they are talking about, however I have been in classes taught by graduate students and that is a mixed bag. If you need help there are defiantly ways to get help which is highly suggested if you are being taught by a professor that doesn't know how to explain the material in less technical terms.
- Some teachers are helpful, but mostly try to nickel and dime the students on their grades.
- Some of the highest quality professors I've encountered.
- Local Atmosphere: C+
- Nightlife: C-
- Weather: C-
- Off-Campus Dining: C+

- Additional reviews of town:
- Pullman is a college town. If you are willing to drive about 8 miles out, Moscow is a little bit bigger and has some more stuff to do or a 1 1/2 hour drive will take you up to Spokane (which is definitely no Seattle). The nightlife is what you make of it - there are bands that will play locally and there is almost always a party going on. There is snow 6/9 months of the fall and spring semester, which gets tiring.
- ITS VERY BORING! but the people try.
- There's not much of a town outside of the college. The nightlife sucks because all it is are house parties and frat parties. The house parties are ALWAYS overcrowded and the frat parties are horrible because they are run by cocky, arrogant, frat boys who only let hot girls into their parties.
- Pullman is a small town with not much to do. A car is a requirement if you plan to have a life.
- Diversity: C
- Guys: C+
- Girls: C+
- Athletics: B-
- Safety & Security: B-
- Greek Life: C+
- Campus Strictness: C
- Campus Maintenance: B-
- Additional reviews of campus life:
- Cougar athletics always has some event going on. I feel safer on campus than I do at home on the west side. I'm not into the Greek system here, but it's pretty strong. I'm not into drugs much either, but they're there if you're looking for them. The campus is strict about certain things, but if you're not trying to be obvious about breaking a rule, it's not a huge deal. Maintenance is lax until mom's weekend and then they do a huge clean up, but even then there are still things that need improvement.
- There is a lot of snow that is for the most part taken care of, some of the sidewalks are heated so that melts some of the snow. The campus is not very diverse so if you are looking for more minority students, you are going to bed disappointed. There are lots of clubs and associations that can help you but it is not diverse. There is a lot of school pride, even if our teams don't do so great.
- It's a party town. As there aren't many other options for recreation.
- Campus Dining: C

- Computers: B-
- Facilities: B-
