University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

There's more activities than I have time to care about. I'm sure you'll find something you like.

I am not that socially active at the UW - I do my own thing. There are sororities/fraternities, but I don't know what they're about.

mostly during the weekends I stay at home. I try to relax, going around when is possible or watching movies.

There is a big greek presence here, but it doesn't completely take over. There are a lot of cultural clubs, religious ones, service ones, etc. People are varying degrees of social - freshmen more so, but everyone is friendly. There are always events - athletic, theater, movies, etc. I've met people on my floors or at youth group mostly. If you want, there are plenty of parties. If not, you can be almost completely ignorant of that lifestyle. Sometimes people go home on weekends, othertimes its a movie marathon - it just depends.

I am not sure what the most popular group is, probably football or basketball to go and watch. I personally am involved with an intramural softball team and I am having the time of my life. I played softball in high school but didn't think I was good enough to play at the collegiate level, so I joined intramural. Whether you have played before or not, male or female, check out intramural sports, theya re a blast and a great way to meet new people! If I am awake at 2 am on a Tuesday it is because I didn't finish a big paper!

There is an endless list of clubs and activities students can particpate in. You could join intramural sports teams. Athletics, especially football, are so much fun to go to! Our stadium holds more people than the Quest Field! The Greek community is amazing here. There are 16 sororities and a little over 30 fraternities, there is never a shortage of fun in the Greek area. If you don't feel like hanging out on campus, downtown Seattle is just a quick busride away!

Large greek system, I chose the dorms and we were incredibly open and social, open doors, did everything together, a great experience if you have the chance.

I work alot, so I haven't been able to explore.

Social life is pretty great, although it can get dominated by the frat scene. There's a lot of drama, too, and in the U-District (where the school is located) you can always count on crime, mostly petty, and unsavory characters stirring up trouble. Honestly, if I wasn't graduating this quarter, I would move to another area of town because the U-District is being overrun by homeless people, Ave rats (kids who don't work and ask you for weed), and meth heads. Not my cup of tea. And the cops are usually dickheads.

The swing dancing club, Swing Kids, is fairly popular. Washington football games are well-attended. There are also numerous opportunities to get involved in the arts (through dance, theater, the opera, etc.). Many people are involved in the Greek system. There are also many Christian houses just north of campus.
