In 1971, Evergreen welcomed its first students. The 1,000-acre campus and 3,000-foot Puget Sound beachfront became a living laboratory for creative and scientific inspiration and research. Since then, the college has earned accolades from national publications; Princeton Review, Fiske Guide, U.S. News & World Report, and Sierra Magazine, regularly rank Evergreen as a top college.

Community college learning in Everett
Great as far as community colleges go, the campus is nice, clean, and the staff are all great. Only complaint is there is not a lot of parking close by even with a pass. Future students should expect a reasonable quality of care and education for their money

Student friendly environment
The school highly values students academics and greatly focuses on the students achievements. The school is clean and also is concerned with the students wellbeing and day to day activities. I do not dislike the school in any manner it is where I just wanted to be. It is a great place for students I greatly recommend it.
