00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.000
My name is Jonathan Farmer. I'm a senior majoring in Communications Studies and I'm also the student body president.

00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:17.000
I transferred to Western Oregon University because I want to be a part of something big, and I also want to be a part of a family.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:22.000
Western Oregon University is often on a national stage, receiving many awards, for they have many opportunities,

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.000
and truly Western Oregon University is a place where inclusion meets opportunity.

00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:33.000
Another thing I like about Western is its opportunities for housing. It has Ackerman Hall, the greenest residence hall in the United States.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:38.000
We also have townhomes, as well as traditional housing for single families.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.000
When I compare my experience at a community college to my experience here at Western,

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000
I find that professors have a more direct influence on my goals in life.

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:53.000
They take more of an investment in who I am personally, rather than checking off did I pass their class or not.

00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:58.000
I think students should transfer to Western Oregon University because Western keeps its promises,

00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:64.000
the promises to provide you with personalized education through one-on-time with your professors and your advisors.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:09.000
It also promises to prepare you for the global market through the diversity that exists here on this campus.

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:14.000
And also, it'll keep your tuition the same for the four years that you're here at Western.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:19.000
I'm a husband, I'm a father, and I'm a proud transfer student at Western Oregon University.

00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:24.000
