CWU: S TUDENT & P ARENT S URVEY
21 Eastern Washington University was rated as “excellent” or “good” fit by just 14% and a “poor fit” by 30%. Six in 10 (61%) could describe EWU; the descriptions tended to be more negative than positive, and centered on the location. Bellevue College barely registered with only 5% rating it as an “excellent” or “good” fit; 36% calling it a “poor fit”; and 44% with no opinion – the highest proportion of all seven schools. The most-used term to describe it was “community college,” indicating the low level of awareness of BC’s recent change in status. The Evergreen State College was the lowest-rated, with only 8% calling it an “excellent” (1%) or “good” (7%) fit for their student and 42% saying it was a “poor fit” – a 5:1 negative to positive ratio, by far the worst of the established state schools. To the extent they could describe it (41% could not) respondents tended toward terms like “liberal,’ “alterative,” or “hippie.”
These findings are displayed in graphs on the following pages, including “word clouds” of the descriptions of each school.
