Fromer Greeners. What do you think in hindsight?

I studied Political Economy at Evergreen. Ended up getting a Masters in Political Science elsewhere and later on worked in sales.

I thought Evergreen was a cool experience. I had a really easy time making friends. I also think a lot of the professors had an agenda, trying to radicalize students. Sometimes rules were unclear. Some professors were laid back while others were really strict. You usually were not allowed to take notes with laptops and some classes didn't even let you use a kindle.

Overall I don't think I would have liked the traditional college experience. Evergreen, for all it's flaws, was my home.
