University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about University of Washington-Seattle Campus?

Benjamin

There is not much socializing directly before, during, or after classes, making it hard to meet new people.

Scott

As a student at the University of Washington, the most frustrating thing about my school is the shear size of the school. It is hard to get adjusted and find your way around the school. In the classes, it can be difficult to make friends at first because the class sizes are so large. The best area to make friends is in the tutorials they have attached to the schools.

Arin

Financial aid--the school is expensive, particularly for out-of-state students such as myself, and the majority of scholarships and aid available go only to in-state students, who get reduced tuition to begin with.

Kristen

For introductory level classes in popular majors it can be hard to get into the class sections that you want, espeially during the first few quarters.

Youran

Due to over 40,000 students (undergrad + grad), there aren't enough support and help from advisors/consultants compare to small private schools.

Marshall

The most frustrating thing about my school is the lack of freedom and time to figure out what you want to do if you want to graduate on time. There is also a lot of competition going on and though, competition is good, it sometimes causes me to lose a little self confidence in my ability to succeed in what I am trying to accomplish. There is a lot of "on your own" learning for tests in class and some people, like myself, have trouble in

Steve

There are mostly really young people attending and they all act it.

Dorothy

Little on campus housing and as it was so large finding a part-time job that wasn't already filled.

Linda

The most fustrating is if you schedule your classes back to back and your classes are on the opposite side of the campus. It is very rushy to get from one class to another when you only have 10 minutes to get there. But at least it's good exercise - so that guarantees you won't gain the Freshmen 15!!

Curtis

The thing that probably most frustrates me about my school is not the size of the school and its population, but the problems that come with the size. What I mean by that is, I like the size of my school and its number of students, but when I need help with my financial account at the school, I receive little help; more often than not, I just get passed around from room to room, and building to building.
