I'm being completely sincere when I say that I don't brag about my school. Most of my friends, at least the ones I had before I have come to college, did not have the same opportunities I had and were unable to further their education past their high school careers. I often encourage them to look at going back to school but many just don't have the ability to financially to do so or have been told for too many years that they will not succeed.

When i brag to my friends about my school, usually i tend to brag about athletics. We're a NCAA division 1 school and our sports teams are phenomenal. However, even though our sports teams are good I also brag a lot about our academics. The University of Washington is one of the top medical research schools in the nation and our academic success is known around the country.

I let them know that we have an excellent technical department where you can rent high quality digital cameras, video cameras, projectors, etc. I tell them about the experimental college and all of the different clubs you can participate in. There are also a lot of theatre and dance performances that are fun to see. I think the tutoring services are very nice, and the libraries are fun to get lost in.

The quality of the faculty in the English department. The faculty in general are very friendly and welcoming and they are all very highly motivated and excited about their field.

I usually brag about how amazing my professors are and how much I am being challenged in my course work. I am constantly sharing information with my friends on subjects I am currently learning about. I also started a blog to have a place to discuss all of the interesting things I am learning.

The thing I brag about most when talking about my school is that I can do everything online. I have the freedom to work on homework or tests during the morning, noon, or night depending on my work and personal schedule. It gives me the flexibility to continue working full time while advancing my education. So far it has been a great success and it has really worked great as far as scheduling. All of the classes are designed to give you freedom to work at your own pace, so if you want to finish early, you can.

I don't really have much to brag about except for the scenery and the beautiful campus itself.

The teachers that I have are the experts in their fields, not just within the university but in some cases, in the world.

When I talk about UW, I always reference its academic rigors and its beautiful setting. I felt like the professors at the UW did a good job stretching my thinking, and challenging me to learn new material.
