Took a tour today and I have to say it's one of the nicest campus I have seen and everyone was very warm and welcoming.

I am a current student (class of 2024). I think Whitman has been affordable and given me a high quality education. As a fin-aid/Pell Grant student, Whitman was around the same as my state university (Maine) with higher quality of education. I'm graduating soon with debt way below the national average. Downtown is super close to campus and I can easily walk for coffee, the the bookstore, or to any number of fantastic restaurants. There are tons of events on campus every week, from guest speakers to concerts. There's a club for anything as well. Our campus newspaper, the Whitman Wire, is awesome. I never feel bored. Plus, classes keep me very occupied. Whitman doesn't tend to do busy work. Classes are usually discussion based with an emphasis on writing and speaking. Essays and class discussion posts are a regular occurrence. Professors are very accessible, office hours are required for all instructors. I've been able to get to know my advisor and department very well over the past four years. Campus culture is open and friendly. People hold doors and wave hello to each other between classes. It's easy to meet new people. I've found great life-long friends. Some parties on the weekend but there isn't pressure to go. There of plenty of people more like me who'd rather do something more casual or not drink as often. People here work-hard and really care about doing well, but it's not cut-throat or uber competitive. I'm super grateful for all the support Whitman has given me and I feel prepared to do well post-grad.
