Overall, UW is a great experience except for the part that they are pretty expensive for out-of-state students like me. You will definitely fit in right away since everyone is so helpful and friendly.

Very good welcoming experience with top-of-the-line professors. Great advisors to help you every step of the way, and tutoring hours open all the way until 11 pm.

I would like to see more passionate STEM professors - I've come across many that did not care for the success and well-being of their students.

Review University of Washington

I like the opportunities and community that UW provides. There is always an opportunity for research, clubs, making connections, and meeting new people. It is a big and bustling campus, which can take a while to get used to, but it is absolutely worth it. I am most grateful for how UW has set me up for success in the future.

University of Washington carries an extremely diverse atmosphere, with lots of people having many talents, interests, ideas, and so much more. It's a beautiful place to wander around and explore, and there's resources for so many things.

In my experience at the university of Washington, I found that it was easy to make friends and connect to people outside my major. I also found that people are willing to lend a hand in helping people find classes as well as lend a helping hand.

I like that there are many options regarding academic help outside the classroom (e.g. tutoring, office hours, etc.).

As a person of color coming to this school and finding community has been a struggle, however I have been able to find student led organizations and courses to help me feel seen and understood and belonged. The courses themselves, as an engineering major, is very rigorous and not something you could pass just by doing the bare minimum, and are like most things at this university, pretty competitive such as applying for majors and getting into courses you need to apply and even graduate. I do however like the resources the University of Washington has available for students of color and first generation students who may feel lost with no direction.

My experience is that this college is in state and I like there programs and majors that they have. I like that there school is big and.

I like how diverse the campus is and how it integrates education into things we are interested in whether that be with research projects or completing assignments to better understand the world around us.

University of Washington is a large, diverse, inclusive community. The campus and urban setting is absolutely beautiful and aesthetically appealing. UW has an extraordinary amount of majors, classes, research opportunities, clubs, organizations and resources. I am taking a Women's Studies class and a class on Incarceration and Internment in America, both of which are fascinating and appeal to my unique interests of study. Something that I would like to see change about University of Washington is the competitive atmosphere that is specifically encouraged by the "weed-out" STEM programs. If a student is a pre-STEM major at UW, they must compete for a spot in their actual major by excelling in the prior classes meant to weed out the weaker academic students. This leads to some anticipating STEM majors to have to pick an entirely new route if they do not get into the major they had hoped for.

My experience with my college currently is a good one. Those I've been in contact with while asking for different information have been very helpful. The process for registering for classes has been very smooth and they release information at very useful times.

The University of Washington is a beautiful campus, especially in Spring with all the cherry blossoms. Originally I thought the campus was super dull and sad because of the usual Seattle weather, but being there for over a year now I realize that the campus is lively despite the sad weather in Seattle. It is also not too far away from my hometown which is Vancouver Canada, which makes this school the perfect place for me to find my independence all the while being not super far from home. Some of the people on campus are questionable, but most are very nice. I was able to find a loving and caring community through similar interests in gaming, and I found awesome friends which I am super grateful for.

I really like the campus and overall atmosphere. The school is academically oriented but there are many places to rest and have fun. I really enjoy the study resources and spaces provided by the school and the overall location is beautiful. I would like if the school gave the same priority to all it's students in terms of ammenities but overall the campus resources and spaces are great.

The education was exceptional and the campus and resources are extremely good. Instruction and classes at top quality.

My experience at the University of Washington has helped shape me into a better man today. I have learned how to navigate through my classes, what to expect, and most importantly, how to take the steps necessary to get me into my state of manhood. Learning how to manage a school-work-life balance has been crucial and the University of Washington, but with plenty of help from my peers and advisors, I have been able to take initiative over all of that and further my success at the school. Every year I look to improve from the last, not the other way around. UW has motivated me to chase my dreams more than ever before, and since the first day of stepping on campus, I was in love with the grind. My only critique on anything would be that there can definitely be more options for on-campus food, but even then, all the food surrounding campus ranging from University Village to "the Ave" offers a generous selection of any kind of food imaginable.

A great university that displays a large amount of diversity and amazing local attractions that are easily accessible.

Review University of Washington

I hope to join this college soon. I have always wanted to join this college, as it is near to my house, and I could attend it while still being involved in my family's life.

The University of Washington has been my dream school for as long as I could remember. I don't recall why, but once I arrived my dreams were made a reality. So many opportunities, classes, and activities made this worth wild.

I like how many accredited professors work at the University of Washington, and I have had good experiences with several of them. Many of the TAs as well as professors are responsive and organized and run their sections well. The campus is beautiful, however, the surrounding area outside of campus can be unsafe. I would like to see more safety measures for the areas around the school, especially along streets where students tend to grab food or go grocery shopping.
