University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

No, although it is rainy a lot

yes

Hell no. These "students" brought high school with them. Not in a good way.

Yes

I suppose, but one of my best friends goes to WSU and we only tease each other.

Very liberal school. Some hippies, not quite like the stereotype.

Yes.

It might do that but our team spirit is strong as ever!!!!

I suppose so, since locally people are really impressed or in awe when I tell them I attend the University of Washington. I think people here regard UW students as "cream of the crop" and employers see us as "highly valuable assets" of great potential.

Everyone could potentially be extremely smart because the teachers are pretty amazing, but not everyone takes advantage of the opportunity to learn. A lot of students skip class and only show up for the tests. As for the 300 person classes, so true. But not true for every class just the introductory ones. This is my first year here and I've only taken two classes with more than 200 people in them. And the professors do care if you understand the material they just don't have time to answer everyone's questions. However, there are many resources available to students to compensate this. And yes the majority of students finish in four and a half to five years, partially because many change majors. This is not a bad thing, as I'm learning. It is very challenging to take a full course load, so don't feel bad if you have to take an extra quarter or two.
