Real EWU Students. Real Chaos. Real Vibes.
Get Emails That Don’t Suck

Unfiltered stories, memes and all the campus chaos you didn’t know you needed. No brochures. No pressure. Just the good stuff, delivered right to your inbox.

Why Most College Emails Are Trash

“Hello [Your Name], please enjoy our 46-page brochure PDF.”

Instant delete.

Our emails?

Written by actual EWU students. Unfiltered, hilarious, sometimes unhinged.

50% storytelling, 50% memes, 100% real.

Those are real EWU students, basically saving the world. Consider it a metaphor for how we’ll be approaching your inbox.

 

EWU students cleaning trash from a local river. Being awesome.

Who Should Sign Up?

This email list is just for students.

Not parents. Not school counselors. Not your relative who went to EWU in 2004 and won’t stop talking about the squirrels.

Just you.

  • High school seniors who enjoy chaos with a side of college planning
  • Transfer students tired of all the brochure fluff
  • Gap year wanderers who want to know what college is actually like before applying

Last time we did this, a bunch of parents signed up and started forwarding our emails to the university president. Not ideal. This is supposed to stay between us. You trust us to keep it real. We trust you not to get us fired.

Picture of an adorable squirrel being awesome in the snow. It does kind of look like it's up to something nefarious, but you have to ignore that and understand that it's adorable.

Don't Take Our Word For It

Here’s what real students had to say. Some chose EWU. Some didn’t. But most of them kept reading.

📩 Even UCLA students want our emails

Already committed to UCLA, but I refuse to unsubscribe. Your emails are pure gold. […]  I don’t know who’s behind the emails or what chaotic energy fuels them—but never change. Keep doing whatever this is. I love it. 🙂

🥾Hikes are optional

It’s refreshing and makes the school feel much more approachable and real. Affordable tuition, cool people, and optional hikes? Sounds like a win to me!

💔 Not gonna lie ... this one hurt

This is probably the greatest thing I have gotten from a university!! I died laughing, keep up the good work! I am not interested in EWU.

🧛‍♀️ Our vampire era

Dear EWU Student Comms Team, I open my inbox, and Dracula. To say the least, I’m impressed with your creative outreach […]

One Last Thing

This is not a trap. We’re real EWU students. We go to class. We do homework. And we pay way too much for iced coffee.

Still skeptical? You can check us out on TikTok: @easternwauniversity. Yes, that’s us being weird. On purpose.

We’re doing this for you. Seriously.

Because we’ve been there. Choosing a college is a lot. Some parts are fun, some parts are stressful. We always wanted someone to keep it real with us. So that’s what we’re here to do.

– Mia, Celeste, Raul (literally the student of the year … see photo), Lexi, Brooke, Isai, Jeannette, Emma, Faith, Jordan and Isabelle

*Also, yeah … there’s a paycheck. Sweet, sweet minimum wage. (which is nearly $17 per hour in WA. Sorry ID and every other state)

Join The Fun

Sign-ups are closed. But rules were made to be adjusted … right?

The exclusive mailing list for the 2025–2026 school year? Yeah, it’s closed. The window slammed shut.

BUT if you’re still here, you clearly care. And we like that.
So here’s a loophole that technically still works. It involves paper. And stamps. And a slight willingness to cause confusion at the administrative level.

Write to our boss’ boss. Seriously.
It can be a postcard, sticky note, drawing, whatever. Just make sure it includes your name and contact info. Address it to:

ATTN: EWU Student Comm’s Team’s Bosses’ Boss
301 Sutton Hall
Cheney, WA 99004

Will it work? No idea.
Will it confuse them? Absolutely.
Will we figure out a way to add you to the list anyway? Yep.

P.S. Our bosses think no one will do this. We told them you’re built different. If you need help proving them wrong, email us at stucomms@ewu.edu or text us at

Swoop, the greatest mascot in the world, is on the bus to better emails and they're inviting you to hop on!
