As to what kind to bring to WSU, some computers are better suited for certain majors so students may want to determine their field of study before making a purchase. One of the advantages of attending WSU is that most students live on or near campus, where they are within easy walking distance of central campus. Also, WSU has an agreement with Pullman Transit that allows students to ride the bus throughout the city of Pullman for free. There are only 6 classes with an enrollment greater than 300 students. The Student Advising and Learning Center recommends that students spend a minimum of 20 to 25 additional hours per week studying for their classes in order to be academically successful.
Some majors require considerably more study time.
