WMUK 102.1 FM Reviews

Its ok it is not a school you would jump up and down to go for but has alot to offer. I would recommend the school to a lot of people its a good experience.

Class of 1984,BBA. The University emphasizes external accreditation and social skills, two very valuable aspects of a degree.

WMU is a great college!! I highly recommend!! Go Broncos!

I was an online student there and my experience has been unpleasant. The eLearning software is awful and not user friendly but my biggest problem was the lack of communication with the advisors. They don't help you register for courses nor do they tell you which ones to take. You're on your own. I had financial aid for 9 years in good standing and one summer I registered myself. It wasn't until the end of Fall semester that someone told me there was a balance on my account because I didn't fill out a form for summer aid. Now I'm stuck with a $5000 bill because my advisor didn't tell me sooner that I can't register for summer until I speak to Financial Aid. No, they were hands off. If you're looking for an online school, this isn't the one. Avoid. Also, the staff will talk about you and mock you to each other via email. I know this because they accidentally included me, the person being mocked, in the email.

I work at VDC and I don't have a parking pass. I spent 15 minutes trying to find a spot (I FINALLY found a meter) and it took another ten minutes to walk to work. Don't bother trying to park there, apparently WMU hates visitors. It also doesn't care about its students or staff. Why would a school still be open after cases doubled in the first two days? There's obviously no control over the situation. Close it down.

If you d like to be taught through YouTube videos and have liberal ideas shoved down your throat, come here! You ll be happy to know that some classes make you pay extra to access unfinished notes, and that some books are required and never used. Not to mention the fact that the tuition is ridiculously expensive!

I'm a 5th year senior this year at wmu and wish I'd chosen a different school to transfer to after my 2 years at kvcc. I mainly chose western because living at home was the cheapest thing to do at the time, but I never expected it to be this bad.

It is a party school, so if you live at surrounding apartments or dorms, always wear shoes outside when walking to your car or anything else. Usually, there is glass everywhere.

Parking is super expensive with little parking spots for actual students, who by the way, are not allowed to park at parking meters if there aren't any spots to make it to class on time. If you end up going to western and want to find parking, leave for class 30 minutes to an hour early. Also, be careful driving around campus, especially in the parking lots, which students seem to be fine with whipping through as fast as they can.

Teachers aren't very adequate. There are some who are engaging and actually care about how you're doing in class, but most could care less if you pass or fail, as long as they get their paycheck. Some professors are really smart, but are boring and don't know how to teach the material. Also, most teachers will specify that the most reliable way to get ahold of them is via email, but I've had maybe 3 profs so far that have been quick and helpful with responding, all my other profs don't frequently check emails or just don't email you back at all, resulting in you asking them "did you get my email?" like an idiot the next class period you have with them.

If you do end up going to western, I would take Mark Orbe and Randy Ott. I loved both of these professors.

There are a lot of teachers I didn't really care for, but the worst are Katherine Propp and Onaiwu Ogbomo. Especially Onaiwu Ogbomo. All this professor does is copy facts from the texts and liters powerpoint slides with paragraphs upon paragraphs of text he reads word for word in a monotone voice, on top of his Nigerian accent. He is sometimes hard to understand and makes class very boring. He seems to be as unenthused as the students are to be there listening to his lecture.

Moving onto financial aid and what western calls "bronco express". They absolutely suck. If you're like a normal American student and have to take out loans, go through someone else. This is only my second time taking out a loan from them. The first I didn't have to worry about them splitting up between fall and spring semester because I ended up taking out my first loan in spring of last year. This year is a whole different story. Like I said, I am a senior and am planning to graduate after next semester. What wmu does is split up the federal loans you qualify for between both fall and spring, therefore I did not have enough to cover my fall classes because they won't let you put all of your loan money on just one semester. Soooo, my parents filed for a parent plus loan, which was denied because if something doesn't apply to you on the loan application, you're supposed to write "n/a" instead of leaving it blank.....which no one stopped to tell me when a bronco express employee was entering our application into the system right in front of me. They are EXTREMELY unorganized and uninformative. I've called multiple times the last week to see if the loan was processed and each time I was told "no", only to find out a week later, that it was denied the previous week. On top of them being slow and unhelpful, every time you go in to see someone, there is ALWAYS one or two people working, the rest are talking or ignore the students standing in line. Yes, I know they have other things to do, BUT helping students should be first priority. But....at WMU, the students don't seem to be a first priority in general.

I'm so ready to leave this school. That is, if I can find a way to pay the rest of my tuition off in time to register for spring classes so I can graduate..... -.-

I root for Michigan State but a great campus and I like that there's a collage in my city

The hours listing that comes up here on Google with WMU or Waldo Library is just wrong -- be sure to check the specific office or buildings website for up to date hours. They vary greatly due to semester breaks or services offered.

My daughter is in her second year and finds it no different from the local Jr. College she attended while in HS. Classes are challenging and not every prof. is her favorite but then this is no different from any level of schooling.

I've read reviews from people who complain that the instructors don't care about their success, that it's a party school, and parking is a pain. My response is...Welcome to the real world. This isn't a daycare and you aren't going to get along with everyone or agree with everything. That's just how life both in school and work are. I've never seen a school that had enough parking for all the student drivers and as for financial aid... Well any issues there are probably due to lack of research. I've been filling out student loan apps for years with no formal training. Yet, my daughter has had money for each semester. The last was partying as the major complaint about WMU and again I've never seen a university or college town that didn't have an excess of partying. Don't like to party or booze it up then don't go out to them.

WMU is a great school that offers diversity and knowledge for those seeking either or both. But if you are looking for a school in a city practicing prohibition with ample parking for hundreds of thoughts and and has teachers and staff to hold your hand through every phase you need to look elsewhere.
