If I'm being honest with you, I never went through the hype of looking at multiple colleges and choosing from a list of two or more. I never had to do it because I knew since middle school that I was going to go to Western Michigan University, because my stepmom worked there and I get discounted tuition. But even though I never went through the touring process, I fell in love with Western as soon as I stepped foot on campus, and I have ten reasons you should go here, too.
1) Western Michigan University is home to the best food delivery places, including but not limited to Insomnia Cookies, Two Fellas, and Pita Pit.
2) Our Welcome Week is a big party that spans the whole week all the way up to Sunday night.
3) Speaking of parties, House Crawl is the biggest one of the year. House Crawl will feature people drinking, jumping off of roofs, and literally crawling to their last house.
4) We went to the Cotton Bowl in 2017. It was a big year for football for the Broncos, and apparently it raised the amount of people who applied to Western for fall 2017.
5) Our school has great programs in engineering, aviation, and business, to name a few, but we offer anything from anthropology to product design to dance to nursing.
6) Miller Fountain makes walking to classes so much better, especially when it's warm and sunny out and there are kids lounging in hammocks and in the grass nearby.
7) There's always people at the flagpoles passing out information on different churches, and then sometimes there's free food.
8) The Campus Activities Board puts on amazing events for the kids to attend, and most of them are $1 with your student ID.
9) Speaking of student organizations, Western has plenty, ranging from sororities and fraternities to interest based organizations to intramural and club sports.
10) Last but not least, we're home to Waldos, Old Goat, and Campus Roadhouse, to name a few bars nearby. Kalamazoo also has plenty of other bars.
Hopefully this list made it easy to choose Western as your top choice. Never forget: it's always a great day to be a bronco!
