Arlo (He/Him), Bothell, WA

I come from a non-traditional schooling background, so Evergreen has been the perfect fit for me. I especially appreciate the learning communities that our program structure creates. I am a staff at The Outdoor Program on campus and love the opportunities it has created for me to get outside with the Evergreen community.

Arlo is a Sophomore studying Environmental Justice and Sociology.

Tasha (She/Her), Pullman, WA

When looking for an undergraduate school I needed to consider both the education system and the possibility of playing volleyball at a higher level in college. When I first visited Evergreen I was immediately in love with the gorgeous nature, and forest that is the campus and its surroundings. I also found an athletic program that I felt my standards were in line with, and an amazing, unique educational system that matched with the hands-on, in-depth learning system I learned best by. Go Geoducks!

Sage (She/Her), La Conner, WA

Evergreen originally caught my eye because of the dripping green forest and private campus beach. Once I learned about the alternative learning style, I was all in. I LOVE field trips and outdoor lectures! Finally, I thought I would have to choose being a science student or being an athlete when choosing a school, but Evergreen celebrates both parts of me. The Evergreen coaching staff welcomed me with open arms and high expectations, allowing me to study, compete, and grow like never before.

Dante (He/Him), Olympia, WA

I grew up a homeschooled music kid and I was struggling to find a college that would fit my needs. Luckily, Evergreen was right in my hometown and had an amazing learning style that really fit with my academic needs. At Evergreen, I can pursue my musical endeavors while also learning about subjects that I had never given much thought to before. As someone who just enjoys learning about many subjects as well as having a focus, Evergreen is the perfect school for me!

Jadin (She/Her), Olympia, WA

When choosing the right school, I didn't have to look far and since Evergreen is located in my home town it became my first interest. I talked to a relative that works at Evergreen and the more I heard about the choices I could make about what I want to study the more I knew Evergreen was the place for me.

Callie (She/Her), New Glarus, WI

I grew up in a small town in rural Wisconsin and attended a high school that had the main goal to homogenize and indoctrinate its student population. When I discovered Evergreen, I knew its alternative pedagogy would be the right fit for me. I genuinely believe that Evergreen's innovative and out-of-the-box style contributes a beginning blueprint for the future of post-secondary education.

Maddie (She/Her), Kirkland, WA

Evergreen appealed to me due to its unorthodox and freeing approach to education, in contrast to traditional 101 classes and letter grades. Once I had toured the beautiful wooded campus, Evergreen became my first choice for a college to attend, and I've been very grateful that I made that decision throughout the four years I've been here.

Maddie is a senior studying Literature and Art History.
