University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

It's a huge inexespensive public school that is fun and familiar to me. Of course, that's not always desireable.

It gives the small town feeling while still being in the center of a busy city.

Just a couple of final thoughts. Liberalism is a mental disorder and being polical correctness will weaken our constitution and our way of life. Uphold US Constitution. Also the only real racism I saw in most of the school I went to is the hatred that blacks have on whites. Last is affirmative action is bullshit.

I loved UW. I had a great experience, and I hope to continue growing Husky Pride by attending grad school at UW. SAFETY: Safety has become more of a concern lately, but there's not much to worry about if you take advantage of services like the NightRide and NightWalk and avoid unsafe situations. The services are there to be used and you won't look like an idiot for using them now that crime rates are going up. (Don't panic: UW is still VERY safe, but I don't want to lie and pretend the rates of theft and armed robbery aren't going up slightly.)

It's a fabulous school, very challenging but definitely worth it. Gives you an incredible education and it's a lot of fun!

This UW is like a small city within a city. It has that sort of impersonal vibe, usually, when you're walking through crowds on campus. Despite that, I really enjoy going to school here and I'm glad that I ultimately decided against some of the out-of-state-schools I was accepted at. One of the big perks of life on campus is the flora and fauna (it's always fun to stop for a second on the way to class and watch a squirrel try to eat an apple core that's nearly as large as him); this is a beautiful setting. As an undergrad student, you will probably feel that your only purpose at UW is to pay tuition as you are being herded through the system; it is the grad students who receive most of the support and attention. But once you get used to it, and enroll in higher level classes, you'll discover that what you think matters, too. Ultimately, I recommend the UW to students who want to achieve something, anything at all...

UW is the way to go! It's huge...but so worth it!

It's a great school. I'm glad it's where I chose to go.

I am getting tired of typing :)

The campus is like an oasis from the bussling city streets.

I LOVE UW!

Bottom line: if you want to do research/post-graduate or get into medical school, this is the place for you. If you want a 4-year and a job go elsewhere and find a better learning environment.

If you plan to enter into the University of Washington's EDGE program, interact with the professors. If you don't call them, they won't call you. It is just like anything else, you only get out what effort you put into it. In the case of the EDGE program, you get out about twice the effort you put in. I have found that they like to talk to the students and field e-mails about anything and will always get back to you with some kind of answer. Also, do not take two classes a quarter if you are working full time. I would suggest calling counsler before enrolling in classes to get an idea of what you are getting yourself into. So far my experience with the EDGE program has been much better than I think it would have been with a normal evening program anywhere else.

U.W. is a very good school. If you find your niche, you can really excel. The instructors are great and have amazing backgrounds. The area is beautiful with lots of things to do. And the area is affordable.

When applying to a college consider the UW as your choice for school. There are endless opportunities here in our great city. If you are looking for work in any field, chances are that you can find what you are looking for right downtown or even as close as the University District. Don't let your golden opportunity pass you up!!

UW kicks ass

Going to school in the city has its dangers (physical). Almost every week, there is an email from the police listing various crimes that have occurred recently. However, they almost all happen to people who walk alone at 2am. Some people are really stupid.

There can be some strange folks, but overall there are some really nice people there from every corner of the world. If you want to learn you have to apply yourself or you could easily squander that hard earned school tuition and find a way to party it away.
