Why the mandatory fees?
Nearly everyone wonders about this at some point. At WSU, that $912 in fees covers a variety of things that are outside tuition but still necessary.
A few of the most visible things your student fees help pay for at WSU:
- The Student Rec Center
- The 2008 renovation of the CUB
- Restrooms and concession stands in Martin Stadium's student section
- Students ride the bus anywhere in Pullman by showing student ID
