Complete overview of scholarships

Housing services

Like many other universities in the State of Washington, EWU requires freshmen to live on campus the first year. If you're under 21 and have attended college for less than one year after high school, you'll live on campus your first year at EWU.

Library services

Located on the lower level of JFK Library, the University Archives holds inactive university records of continuing historical and administrative importance. The archives also accepts personal papers and business records of significance to this geographical region. Historical photographs, maps, the Deutsch Northwest Clipping and Pamphlet File, University History File etc.

ICT services

Having issues with WiFi, Canvas, student email, or other campus software? Submit an IT Help Desk ticket. Apartment residents contact Davis Communications, Inc. about WiFi.

Medical services

Rockwood Clinic has partnered with Eastern Washington University to provide healthcare to EWU students. These services provide for the basic medical needs of eligible students. Care is available at multiple locations including Cheney, Spokane, Medical Lake and Airway Heights. You must present your EWUID at check-in for each visit.

Campus life

Eastern's 300-acre parklike campus is just 17 miles from Washington's second largest city, Spokane. However, it is a matter of minutes from more than 20 lakes, beautiful mountains and the Turnbull National Wildlife refuge; all of which offer fishing, hiking, biking, boating, wildlife watching and more. This unique geographic positioning allows students the serenity to focus on their studies, the spirit of a small college town, the recreational opportunities of the Northwest and the invaluable internship opportunities and civic involvement offered by a major metropolitan area. It's no wonder more than 10,000 students (and counting) now make Eastern their home away from home.

Sports facilities

Eastern Washington University currently offers a variety of Club Sports to choose from. If you are interested in continuing to play a sport you have played before, or are up for trying something new, there is a long list of our current clubs in the drop down menu to the left. If you are not able to find something of your interest, there is always the possibility of starting a new club sport.

Student clubs

Eastern Washington University is home to over 150 student-run clubs & organizations that provide members with opportunities to develop as leaders, network with campus and community resources, and develop a support system while at EWU. Students who get involved in a club or organization will tell you that student involvement creates a transformative out-of-the-classroom experience that helps you maximize your time in college. Students are challenged to develop their own ideas, critically think, work as a team, and apply the knowledge they are gaining inside and outside of the classroom.

Accreditation

Eastern Washington University is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), one of the six regional accrediting bodies recognized by the U.S. Department of Education. EWU has been continuously accredited by NWCCU since 1919, as indicated here.

University Experience

I�m a 3rd-year student at East West University, and honestly, campus life is pretty good. The environment is clean and modern, and classes are held in well-equipped rooms. We�ve got a big library, decent Wi-Fi, and a chilled-out cafeteria where we usually hang out. There are lots of clubs too. I am involved in some, and they organize fun events, seminars, and cultural programs throughout the year. It�s a good mix of study and social life. The vibe is friendly, and I�ve made some really great friends here.

There is room to grow

EHU is an okay university located in Vilnius. If you prefer you studies to be not extensive and you love to have a lot of you own time, you wont regret entering it. Here you have enough of opportunities, a couple of very good professors, nice vibe and beautiful students.

My experience of studying EHU

Overall, EHU is a good choice if you want to be motivated and have an opportunity to study for free. I really like the system of portfolios and grants, but I wish our university had better organisation.
