Benedictine University is more than just a place where you can pursue your education and hopefully begin to build your career. Benedictine is all about developing a whole person – academically, socially and spiritually. This university is a melting pot of people, religions, faiths, and philosophies. What's more? Everyone is able to build strong, lasting relationships with one another very easily. I am lucky to be a part of a very welcoming environment.

The University of Washington (Seattle campus) is in a major metropolitan city, unlike many of the other schools I considered. This means that there is always something going on both on campus and off campus. Additionally, there are plenty of student jobs available, even for students who aren't eligible for work-study.

University of Washington has so many diverse opportunities that if you are the kind of student who "does it all," there are no limits to what you can get involved with and accomplish and learn at UW except the limits of your time and sanity. UW is a place where you can create your own education from within the extensive offerings available. If you don't seek the resources, you can fall through the cracks. No one is holding your hand; to the administration, you're just a number. Take the opportunities available.

I felt like UW had a lot of diversity compared to the other state schools in Washington. Not only were there more students from all over the country, but with such a high commuter population I met a lot of students that weren't in the typical 18-24 y.o. set. This made it easy to fit in on campus and feel accepted.

You get a good education for very cheap, go here if you want to get a decent degree and not go too far in debt...
Go here if you are self-starter who can make or find their own social life
Do go here if you need and/or want what a big rich city like Seattle can offer...
Don't go here if you expect to be surrounded by friendly engaged people.

What's unique about the University of Washington is location. The fact that it's in Seattle and it's one of the best school to attend, it allows those who chose to stay in state to stay close to their friends and family, it keep everyone together while striving for the best education.

The University of Washington has a really big and open campus. People are very friendly. Everyone is very helpful. This school has a lot more community than other schools I've looked at.

At the University of Washington, whatever it is that you want to pursue, there are numerous opportunities for you to explore that path. The unversity knows how important it is for students to get experience in the fields that they are passionate about and provide students with different possibilities and resources, such as internships, volunteering, or clubs related to the students' career interests. The university wants to set up their students for success, all the students have to do is have the drive to want it and the University of Washington will help get you there.

The University of Washington is known for its great business school. I was accepted to four other colleges and I chose this one because I knew it would give me the best education that I am looking for.

It's one of the top schools in the nation, but for in-state students it's incredibly affordable. It's one of the most valuable places to get a good education in the United States.
