The University of Washington is a premiere research insitution. The UW is ranked #1 with the most funding for research, over both Harvard and John Hopkins. Because of this, the faculty at UW are the experts in their respective fields and the students of such a renown faculty get the benefit of a world-class education as well as opportunity to participate with cutting-edge research. The large size of UW is also an advantage when a student can make a smaller community out of the many opportunities that a larger community can offer.

I like to tell friends about how much spirit we have. There are always people at sporting events cheering on the teams even if they aren't ranked very high in our division. Everyone really seems to enjoy this aspect because it brings us all together for a fun-filled afternoon or evening.
