Wilson Hall

Here we have Wilson Hall! If you study Biology, Computer Science, Economics and Management, Philosophy, Physical Science, or Psychology, say hello to your new home! There are a number of computer labs in Wilson complete with one lab that has color printing. The Information Technology desk is located in Wilson so if you have any questions regarding your mywestfield account, your computer, television, wi-fi, etc. hit them up. A lot of the times you don't even really have to meet with them, just shoot them an email and they can help you through it. Wilson also has it's very own greenhouse on the side - very cool if you're into botany!

Wilson is also the only academic building that has lecture halls. I was really nervous to be in a lecture hall for a the first time. I was nervous my professor wouldn't know my name and that I would somehow get lost in the crowd and fall behind. My first experience in a lecture hall wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be. The class I took in it was awful - a math class - not because it was in a lecture hall, but because the math was way above anything I had ever done. My professor still knew my name and had a relationship with her students. The professors at WSU really do care. They make an effort to know your name and have a relationship with their students, lecture or not. Many of the professors will give out not only their emails but their cell phone and home phone numbers so it is incredibly easy to get a hold of them. I heard of one professor who actually gave out their Skype information to students in case they needed help with something. Awesome, right?! In high school, majority of the teachers already know you, sometimes before you even have a class with them. I was so scared that I wouldn't have that sort of relationship with my professors here but even today my previous professors will stop me in the hall, call me by name, and ask how I'm doing in my classes. The professors here are truly awesome, and I'm not just saying that either.  

Wilson is also home to the Commuter Cafe. If you're a commuter, you'll most likely spend most of your time in between classes here. It is open to non-commuters as well. In the cafe there are two eateries: Quixotes and the Grill. Quixotes is a Mexican-type eatery where you can get the best burritos on campus. The Grill has anything from breakfast bagels to chicken fingers and hamburgers to wraps. The hours are only on the weekdays until six since it is more for commuters' benefit but if you ever are in the mood, stop by and order something. I really like Quixotes and the Grill so anytime I have the chance, I make sure to stop by and get something. The food is really good!
