What is WUE?
WUE stands for the Western Undergraduate Exchange and is a program which students
can attend participating institutions in other states for a reduced tuition. Instead of
paying full out-of-state tuition, a WUE student pays the regular in-state tuition plus 50
percent of that amount. This applies to participating four-year as well as two-year
schools. Students do not need to show financial need. The participating states are
Alaska , Arizona , Colorado , Hawaii , Idaho , Montana , Nevada , New Mexico , North
Dakota , Oregon , South Dakota , Utah , Washington and Wyoming .

How interested are you in attending this school this school? Why or why not?
Explain in a written response. Be specific and use examples from your research.

I am not interested in attending this school because from the reviews I have read, this university does not have
the right environment for me. Central Washington University has good education programs and classes but for
me I would like to learn in an environment that would be best for me. If the social life at the school does not have
good people then, I would not be able to make good friends around me. I prefer schools with a good surrounding
of enthusiastic people that would make me want to learn and perform well in school. The reviews of this school
was not really impressive because many people said that the surrounding city was small and many people there
were not really nice. Even though the education system is great because they have the majors I want to study,
financially it is not expensive to attend, the acceptance rate is high with 80% of students getting accepted, and
you do not need a high GPA to get accepted. I would still not attend because of how the students are around the
school. The overall grade of the school was not very good from my perspective because they received a C+ grade
and think the school should have an A-B grade for it to be a good school.They do not have as much
extracurricular activities either at the university. Overall, I believe a good community would equal a good student
because people would influence them to learn and grow as a person in school.
