Overall my experience has been great! I am really happy with the outcomes of my studies here. The professor is really knowledgeable and they seem to help the students a lot, the environment has been great, very diverse campus, and is pretty clean. The campus staff is always friendly and always willing to help, there are multiple events throughout the year that help the students to find jobs after they graduate. They have amazing clubs, so you can feel belong to the Campus. I just finished my bachelor's at UWT and I think that the program was really helpful and understandable. This year I am pursuing my Master's in Accounting and hopefully, I would learn the most that I can to be ready when I take a step into the real world. Amazing school at overall.
UWT has very supportive staff members who care for all their students. The professors are very energetic and love what they do. This makes the whole classroom experience a great environment to learn. I admire the diversity and constant focus on ensuring every student is safe, and having equal educational experiences. University of Washington Tacoma additionally, offers many diverse programs for every field!
University of Washington - Tacoma is a very cool and collected campus. There are many students you will meet that have similar ideas to you and are studying the same major. Both online and physical classes have been nice; canvas may be hard to navigate at times but you get used to it eventually. All of the professors I've had have been very helpful and made learning enjoyable. Even though I have not entered my major yet, the classes I have taken previously excite me for what's to come in the near future.
