<p>Ongoing local debate. :) Would love to here your thoughts!</p>

<p>I met someone who went to WWU who loved it and said it was beautiful. <a href=“Office of Admissions, WWU”>https://admissions.wwu.edu/files/interactive-tour.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Depends on the major. For majors such as Biology, Chemistry and especially geology, I would recommend WWU without hestitation.</p>

<p>I would go with WWU, honestly–the campus is gorgeous and the academics, for the most part, are much better than at Bothell. From what I’ve heard, Bothell feels like a glorified community college and many people are commuters, so the campus life is pretty lacking. IIRC it does have a decent CS program, though. </p>

<p>Best of luck! </p>
