University of Washington - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" I really enjoy attending UWT this campus takes a much more individualized approach to college learning. In general teachers are very engaged and helpful and the campus values ethnic and racial diversity. "

" Beautiful campus, so many clubs and activities, so many things going on all the time. You will not be bored here! I think everyone can find their community here. The campus is big and there's always new things to explore. Next to campus we have a street filled with all kinds of yummy food "

" The University of Washington is a good university for certain things. They have good engineering programs and are good for pre-health sciences students. However the cost is quite high for tuition as well as the cost for housing. There are many resources available at the UW and many student organizations that can give students a good way to figure out their path. The worst thing about the college is that you have to apply to your major and due to the nature of the college most of the majors are very competitive, some having less than a 10% acceptance rate. It is a college I would recommend if you are pre-health, business, or engineering. Other than that there may be a better fit somewhere else. "

" A great school if you try hard enough. The atmosphere can be tempting since all Seattle folks are not into talking with other strangers, but it's not too hard to make new friends. The facility here is top-notch, and it's one of the top public schools in the whole country of the United States. "

" I went here for undergrad, and it was a remarkable experience. The University of Washington is truly a world-class research university with an awesome location in Seattle. The course curricula and professors are held to a high standard here, and there is ample opportunity to grow as a person outside of academics, whether that might be through athletics, clubs, access to internships, or exploring Seattle (pretty good public transport system). The College of Arts and Sciences is currently in talks to change its notorious competitive major system into a more direct admissions system, similar to the one the School of Engineering adopted a couple years ago. [Previously, admission to the University did not guarantee admission into a course of study. A student was assigned the pre-sciences major, for example, and had to place well enough in brutally bell curved (2.7-2.9 average) introductory courses to receive the opportunity to pursue their intended major. Many students became frustrated and disillusioned when junior year rolled around and they were not yet admitted to a major, which can be a costly circumstance if extra quarters are needed.] "
