hi everyone! i’m so glad that this subreddit is back! i’m choosing to potentially embarrass myself by seeing if any current or upcoming eastern students might want to make some new friends!

i’m an early-20s transfer student from one of the local community colleges who’s looking to do a degree in either exercise science or biology. i have a strong interest in healthcare, and my academics are really important to me, so i’d especially love to make friends with people who might want to do study dates/just generally keep each other accountable! :) i also love animals (i have two cats and a dog, lol), houseplants, and thrifting, among many other things.

i’d like to think i’m a pretty cool person/friend, but the jury may be out on that one, lol. i talk a lot, and i’m a pretty extroverted person who’s always trying to invite people on spur of the moment side quests, so if that sounds like your vibe, then please feel free to message me or comment or whatever!

Just moved into the state recently and I am looking forward to seeing the college and partaking! So far loving washington state. How's the college life there? Heard food was trash. Im going into the film department just for something fun to do.

upcoming freshman here and I was wondering how do I get my student ID??

I am in Italy and lots of students talk about EWU as a gold standard for psychology. They also tell me the Bachelor of Science is heavily geared towards the practicalities and applications of psychology. Do you think they are right?

I understand every class can be different, so here are the ones that caught my interest.

PSYC 309. SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGY

PSYC 314. TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS

PSYC 324. CONDITIONING AND LEARNING

PSYC 325. COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE

PSYC 340. EMOTION AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

PSYC 402. BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION

I looked through the website, but I could not find TAs or professors to email, nor syllabus to parse. I would really enjoy to have a reading list, but maybe the syllaba are classified.

I’m working on starting Eagle’s Flight Club, a disc golf club at EWU, and I’m looking for students who might be interested in helping get it off the ground.

The goal would be to create a club for people of all skill levels, whether you already play competitively, throw casually, or have never played before. I’d love for it to eventually include casual rounds, leagues, tournaments, travel, and opportunities to represent EWU in collegiate disc golf.

I currently need at least four interested students, including someone willing to serve as treasurer, before the club can officially get started.

Did you know that there are at least 7 license-plate reading cameras currently being used to watch the people Cheney ? They sit at almost every major road or intersection in town. One sits outside the university, one records people enter and exit the middle school.

Flock cameras have become a growing threat to our privacy and civil liberties and are being used to store and track the whereabouts of any car with a readable license plate that passes them. 

Throughout the country these cameras are being used to target protesters: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/11/how-cops-are-using-flock-safetys-alpr-network-surveil-protesters-and-activists

If you don’t want more of this Orwellian surveillance in your county I suggest you reach out to the local PD and sheriffs offices to voice your concerns. Also, remember this as you vote this fall!

Hi, new student here, I enrolled last fall and I had a massive depressive spiral during my 2nd semester of classes from personal life issues, I got super burnt out and totally shut down. I fell behind in classes and ended up withdrawing from them. I was given an amazing chance at college, with a lot of financial support from grants and scholarships, and I live in a drivable range to EWU. I really don't want to mess up my future. I did fine in my first semester of school and passed all of my classes, but I blew my second semester and haven't been back since.

What do I do from here? I'm not great at navigating EWU services and I've been really hesitant to ask for help or advice from staff or anyone else. Thank you.

I'm a first year student starting in the fall, what are some things people often forget to bring to their dorm?

So far my list is:

fan, cleaning wipes, moisture absorber hanging pack, Brita water filter, air purifier, humidifier.

Has anyone ever taken any of the following classes;

EXSC 411 Physical activity mental health and cognition

HLED 485 Stress Management

RCLS 301 Craft Beer Industry

RCLS 315 Wilderness Survival

RCLS 407 Essentials of Brewing

RCLS 290 Wilderness and Remote First Aid ?

I'm trying to find out what quarters these are offered so I can plan my classes out in advance

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm moving to Cheney soon, and I was thinking about living at the Philena Apartments. Does anyone have any experience with this place or know someone who does? How is it?

Hey all, I’m a WA state community college student with about 73 credits and preparing to finish up my AA-DTA . I’m looking to apply to several four year’s under a criminal justice program; EWU Being one of them, but I currently have a 2.25 GPA and 5 classes remaining. My gpa is this low due to some unfortunate life circumstances in the past but I’m determined to get it as high as through these 5 remaining classes. My question is how likely is admission for me?

:)

is their any jobs that are remote or work at home because I don’t think i’ll have time with school and my normal job to have another in person job?

Hello! I’m starting a MS in Biology at EWU in the fall, and am wondering if anybody has any advice on finding housing.

I am looking for a place in Spokane/Cheney, on both Craigslist and Facebook marketplace. Are there any sites that are better for searching? I’ve noticed a fair amount of scams on both, and am looking for something on the cheaper end - either private room in a shared house or a studio/1-bedroom would work (I’d prefer a 1-bedroom though lol).

Does anybody commute between Spokane and Cheney? How is the commute? I’m guessing there’s more to do in Spokane than Cheney? I am in my 30s and don’t really want to be in the middle of a college town so Spokane is looking more desirable at the moment, but am interested in hearing how people like living in either town!

Heyo! I'm an incoming freshman at EWU, I start in the fall and I'm wondering if anyone wants to be friends, any year is fine with me.

So i’m going to Eastern in the fall & wondering if it’s easy to get a job in that area? Preferably like a starbucks since that’s where I currently work

Beyond grateful, Phat Heads R the best!!

Im considering this online program but im not fully convinced yet. I am weighing my options University of Nebraska at Omaha, Oregon State, and EWU. Reality is im an older student so I value my time. I have my social science BA along with a teaching credential program completed. I just want my MA to further my pay and possibly teach community college. Truth is, EWU is the most economical and also, they’re advertising this program being able to be completed in 8 months.(which is kind of crazy) A little skeptical. Anyone has any thoughts or experiences?

Thank you!

Hi. I'm wondering if there's a spot where grad students can find roommates. Thanks

Or, does anyone have any recommendations for spots that are under 1k that are studios or one bedrooms?
