A person that is not OK with a large workload and working hard should not attend this school. It obviously depends on your choice of major in terms of how much work you will be doing, but regardless there will always be a heavy workload for students.

I think that all kinds of people can and do attend the University of Washington. There are no exclusions except for those that the student places on herself/himself. Students who may experince more difficulty in adjusting however would be those who are not used to a very large campus population or city-like environment and those that have travelled a great distance to attend (international students, studenst from the east coast/south). The university is so large that there is something for everyone to make college life more adjustable and more satisfying.

A person who is not too sure what their passion is or what they want to do with their life is they kind of person that should not attend this school. Without the motivation and drive, attending this school might be a waste of time if it is not experienced to its full advantage.
Jacob
An out of state student who isn't finacially well off, unless you want lots of student debt in your first four years of college that is.
Arie
The University of Washington is a very large school (around 40,000 students). People who appreciate small class sizes and don't like large lecture would porbably prefer going to a smaller school. However, students accepted into the honors program will be in smaller classes.

1. If you're not very academically driven
2. If you like a close, tight-knit social setting
3. If you're very conservative
4. If you don't like walking

The kind of person that should not attend this school is someone who doesn't take education seriously. University of Washington Seattle campus is a very big campus and things goes by really fast, so it would be very easy to fall behind. Someone who goes to this school thinking it would be like one big party would have difficulty managing their time and social life.
Matthew
Are you a shy person who can't deal with strangers? Then the University of Washington is not the place for you! With over 40000 students and massive lecture classes permeating the curriculum making friends in class is like hunting elk with a nerf gun. And don't even start on meeting your professors. Consider yourself lucky if they even know you're in their class.
Charles Paul
Someone who is not serious about learning or opposes conformity.
Ashley
Although a beautiful campus, University of Washington Seattle is in the midst of a temperate rainforest. If you are not from the northern United States, there is a possibility of experiencing slight depression until you are acclimated to the dark and stormy winter months. This should be considered if your mood is heavily influenced on your surrounding atmosphere. Also, UW is a large campus, which has its pros and cons. If you are easily overwhelmed by large class sizes during your first couple of years, you may consider another school which is smaller and outside of a major city.
Teresa
Someone who needs to be in small classes should not attend. In the majority of intro classes, there are over 200 people and in the sciences there are even more. There were 700 people in my introductory bio class
Eric
Do not attend this school if your require or desire intense individualized instruction. Do not attend if you want to attend a "quiet" university or one where you don't need a print out of the campus map for the entire first quarter!
Dilkaranjot
Thats a joke, school is for any one and everyone wanting to not only further their knowelge about the universe but also learn more about themselves. In this day and age countless students including my self and my friends struggle at time with self image and confidance. The university of washington is helping he push those concepts to the limit, and every day I learn and grow more and I better prepared for the next days challenge . Therefore this school is not a good fit for people not wanting to challenge themselves and learn.
Gina
I don't think that there is any kind of person that shouldn't attend this school, only people that don't like large campuses. Its a beautiful school and great bang for our buc.
Taura
A person who isn't really to do the work required. The University of Washington prides itself on excellence and the lazy and idle are usually left behind.
Joy
Someone who isn't interested in diversity.
Leila
One without self motivation.
One who is easily distracted.
One who does not like the rain.
Nadine
Someone who doesn't really want to attend college.
Marshall
It is hard to say. Someone who procrastinates and does not use his time in class wisely will have trouble with their classes and grades. The classes that I am taking are highly competetive and to do well, you have to stay on top of class work and readings because they can accumulate and become overwhelming when you are underprepared for a test.
Uddom
Lazy individuals who simply believe that beleive that expect to be handed a job because they earned a degree.
