Nasty place with nasty unwashed people. Do NOT invest in this 'school'. The recent events should give you a clue.

I enjoyed my time at the Evergreen State College. Many professors have the best interest of the student in mind, however there were always those professors (in programs that were co-taught) that were unorganized, uncertain, and seemed to be "winging it". Regardless, even in those chaotic programs, there were lessons learned between the parameters of assignments and earning credits: I learned how to meet (some) unrealistic requirements and address the problems with professors fairly. The great thing about Evergreen is that you get to evaluate your professors and you have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with them to hash out the problems of the program if there were any. I found that many students wanted to embarrass professors by calling them out in class (which never ended up good because, c'mon, that's no way to solve a problem), but I found that if you jump through the hoops and fulfill all of the requirements of the class (instead of protesting them, arrogantly), you can be taken seriously as a student (while showing you take your education seriously) and have a real conversation about what did and did not work in the program. I hate to discount anyone's legitimate issues experienced in programs, but I found that the requirements in programs were usually flexible and you would lose credit if you just didn't do the work. There were times where I missed assignments or days of class because I was stressed out and needed a mental health day, I had a flat tire, or I simply wasn't prepared. These are issues I, as a student, have to take responsibility for. I found that students often complained about professor's lack of empathy towards their personal issues that caused them to miss assignments or class; I hate to break it to those kids, but if you have a job and you miss a deadline for whatever reason, you have to take the heat.
My take away from Evergreen: this is a great place for personal development and getting an education that can challenge you beyond academic assignments and credits. You will find that sometimes the liberal alternative culture is demanding in conformity, many students speak about topics they passionately support but lack exploration of other perspectives: this exists everywhere, however, those extremist students are not the majority. Students are encouraged to explored the many perspectives of an issue and are expected to be respectful of other students when they don't agree. I think that's very simple; however, the recent media coverage of the protests at Evergreen painted the campus as exclusive in nature and extreme. Evergreen is not a villain that needs to be abolished, it's a complex institution with a hogwash of ideologies being stirred around on the daily.

With the race issue, what kind of school is this? They don't like whites. Anyone who gets a degree here should get it quickly. I would recommend a review of accreditation because they cater to the students and not teaching the right things.

I transferred here for the agricultural studies programs and have enjoyed my time immensely. The teachers have all been amazing and the school is incredibly well-supplied for a public institution; the art and science studios have such an array of equipment and offerings. I could go on -- Real Food Challenge, KAOS radio, the media studies department, the forests, beach and opportunity for scientific research, the TOP program, the climbing gym, the student-run cooperative cafe, the Longhouse and the opportunity for collaborative projects with tribes -- I really appreciate and value the time I've spent here. I've been able to work with scientists, artists, farmers, and activists to explore my interests, create collaborative projects, work different internships, and develop job skills.

Disgusting, a Social Justice controlled campus. That 98% acceptance rate is obviously a sense of false hope to what will befall the youthful freshmen and/or transfer students that are looking around for colleges to go to. The president has been completely policed with a gun to his head, the "teachers" only teach Social Justice ideology and out of all of this, the campus is a joke.

I recommend not wasting a penny towards this college.
