Hello! I'm a junior from Washington State, and I'm starting to research colleges. I'm really interested in attending a Division II school in Washington. Does anyone know of any in the area? Any advice or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Hello! It's great that you're exploring college options in your home state. In Washington State, there are two Division II schools that you may want to look into:
1. Central Washington University (CWU) — Located in Ellensburg, CWU is a public university that competes in the NCAA Division II Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC). The university offers various undergraduate programs and has a student-focused environment.
2. Western Washington University (WWU) — Situated in Bellingham, WWU is another public university that also participates in the NCAA Division II GNAC. WWU has a strong reputation for its academic programs and a vibrant campus atmosphere.
As you research these schools, consider factors such as location, size, academic programs, campus culture, and available resources. It's important to find a college that is not only a good fit for your athletic interests but also aligns with your academic goals and overall personal preferences. If you get a chance, try attending a campus tour or connecting with current students to get a feel for the school. Good luck with your college search!
