University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

What is the stereotype of students at University of Washington-Seattle Campus?

1) That UW is a huge party school and that if you go here you are bound to party a lot. This isn't true. The school is big enough that you can find whatever you want. If you want to party, you can party every night for a month. If you don't want to party, there is very little pressure for you to party. 2) Because UW is a big school, it is assumed that everyone has tons of school pride. I am not into wearing tons of purple; I don't really understand fanatical school pride. There are tons of people that wear almost all purple, but most people don't care. Almost everyone has a Washington sweatshirt, but beyond that, i doesn't really matter.

UW students are very smart, because to get accepted, you have to be.

The state of Washington is a diverse state, as I know from having lived on both sides of the mountain. People from the Seattle area, because of its history with Microsoft and Boeing and other rich industries, have a reputation for being elitist coffee-drinkers and being extremely liberal politically. It's always raining, so the clothes people wear are designed more for the weather than for fashion. It also breeds environmental activists, hybrid-car drivers and hiking enthusiasts. Because of UW's size, the campus community is very diverse, but as a whole students tend to have more money and better high-school transcripts than other public schools in the state.

We're a step up from all the other universities in the state in terms of education.

The University of Washington is too laid back. Students are too laid back to really care about achieving. The University of Washington satellite campuses are not as good as the Seattle campus.
