UW is very open and diverse, and almost every type of person could find a home here. In general, due to Seattle's overall attitude, impatience and aggression usually do get you very far here. It is a very communal school, where students tend to help each other rather than behave in a cutthroat manner. Professors and TAs make themselves very accessible with open office hours, and encourage all students to visit and become more involved in the educational process.

Matthew

Academically motivated, wants to do research in their field (particularly if planning to attend grad school), ready to deal with an overwhelmingly large campus in a very urban environment. The lower level classes tend to be huge, whereas the higher (300/400) level courses are smaller (30-40 people vs. 500-700 people) and summer courses are usually small and taught by grad students. Be prepared to work very, very hard but it will be extremely rewarding in the end.

UW has so many majors (148) and programs and student clubs and volunteer opportunities and scholarships and study abroad options that it really has offerings for any student who is interested. We're kinda mainstream in appearance. We tend to look ambitious and professional when we walk to class. But there are so many exceptions that anyone with a strong academic background really might have a good experience here.

Hannah

The kind of person who should attend here is some one who is not affraid of change, Every quarter you change classes, and you get a new group of students in your classes, but you can always meet up with them after class. People who come here have to be okay with annonimity, and living in a big city as well.

Georgialeen

There is no specific type of personwho should attend this school. The diversity that persists on campus is edivent in the different clubs, organizations, and programs offered throughout the campus community. The University of Washington is a very prestigious school. but the accolades mean nothing without the students who provide the university with the opportunity to flourish as an institution. Different beliefs, backgrounds, and motivations fill this school. Anyone is welcome because different and opposing views are greatly appreciated to understand what is really going on in the world.

I think that a person who can identify with others and offer an assortment of diverse experiences is someone who should attend the University of Washington. If you are willing to expand your horizons and reach out to strangers that come from all over the world, then you are ready to come to The University of Washington.

Kelly

To attend the Univeristy of Washington you have to be motivated to go out and get what you want. This school is very big so opportunities are not going to be handed to you.

Douglas

There are two general students at UW: motivated and complacent. The person who succeeds and enjoys the fruits of the what the school has to offer has to be motivated. The school is overwhelming populated with eager students, that one must be willing to go above and beyond what was required just to make above average grades. One can also be complacent and go into the school, get their degree, and in what seems like a few month they have a resume with just a degree title. The school has so many opportunities, that only a motivated student can enjoy.

Emily

Someone with an open mind, curiosity, and an appreciation for learning; someone social with a good sense of adventure

Hannah

Someone who is good at staying motivated and working hard without any reminders. It is important also for a UW student to be comfortable actively reaching out to others to make friends, because the campus is so big that you won't run into the same people over and over. The ideal UW student should know when they come in what major they want because otherwise it is impossible to finish your major on time.
