University of Washington - Seattle Reviews

"Never Give up Be perseverant Live with goals"

"Good college with great professors and lot of academic focus"

"UW is one of the prime locations in tech, and a degree in computer science well prepares you for a career in that field. Lots of earning potential, advising is experienced, with multiple networking opportunities throughout the year. Quality of classes are great too, and prepares students with a strong foundation in this field that will be highly sought after by employers."

"This program focuses on a very academic view on psychology. With a degree in this program, you will have a strong foundation in psychology. However, networking opportunities are poor, and directed only at social/academic work. Program also does not leave students prepared for a career within the large umbrella of psychology, such as HR, Sales, Marketing, PR... etc. If you are coming into the program looking for something very psych-specific and planning for going to a graduate/phd program in psychology, this is the program for you!"

"The University of Washington prepared me to be the best graduate school candidate. Despite the large class sizes, majority of the professors were excellent and truly cared about student learning. The course work was challenging however, each departments have great support for students who are looking for academic help. My classes and extracurriculars gave me the opportunity to develop skills in research, networking, applying what we learned at school. The UW has great academic programs, the student organizations, student support, study abroad opportunities, student community, and excellent faculty and staff. UW is a resourceful facility with incredibly qualified staff. The UW is beautiful school. Location is very close to the downtown Seattle and there are many places to go to. Also, the nature and parks are very close from school. Transportations are best with student ID card and students can even take the Water taxi in Seattle with the valid school ID."

"UW is relatively non high ranking in the Chemistry Department. The research is stellar and the faculty impressive. However, there is no healthy support among the mentors and peers that allows for personal growth."

"Excellent for students in Washington and around."

"The University of Washington's Foster School of Business offers top notch curriculum and a diverse student population. The course work takes a team based approached so if that is not your cup of tea, stay away."

"This is an extremely high quality school. Also, Seattle is a great place to live, so you should definitely consider this place. Economics program here is one of the best in the world."

"The school had great professors and resources. It had a beautiful campus, and there were a lot of things to do in the surrounding area. I was able to learn a lot from my experience there."

"It is a good school but the student needs to hussle to get a job and not just rely on the career center."

"It was somewhat diverse in student and staff body. Could have been more diverse in course curriculum and materials. More support during tough times, (example: national events that impact student/staff)"

"This is an awesome college with bright prospects - provides world class facilities for the engineering students, provides required exposure with the top class projects in the industry"

"I am very happy with my institution called the University of Washington Seattle geographically located in the heart of the city of Seattle. University Washington is the flagship research institution in the state of Washington. We have diversity, but need more."

"The University of Washington overall is a great school with an amazing college life experience. There are endless opportunities for success in academics, student life, and career planning. It's a beautiful campus to be on, especially during the spring with the full bloom of the Cherry Blossom trees. The courses at UW can range from 25 to over 300 students in the class and professors seem to be more focused on their personal research than teaching. Majors are also very competitive at the university and the university sets very high expectations for students compared to other schools. Now that I have finally graduated I don't really feel like my degree will lead me to a promising career. It's been difficult finding jobs in Seattle's competitive market. But UW is really great for those pursuing degrees in engineering, science, information technology, business, and medicine."

"I loved attending UW. I did not think I would like going to such a large university, but I found it to be fairly easy to meet people by getting involved in small groups, through classes, and living with other students. I found that the Psychology advisers were not particularly great at helping me find the best practical fit for a career, or advising me on how to decide what career path to take specifically. But overall, I would wholeheartedly recommend going there."

"What a great place to get an education. Most of the professors are very accommodating to meet with students for questions or advising. I always felt like my education was important to them. UW Seattle is surrounded by such diverse medical community and getting an internship to study an area of interest is not difficult. Not to mention how gorgeous the campus is, especially the Quad during spring. It's a regular occurrence to see couples getting their engagement pictures taken."

"I felt like a number, classes were huge and I didn't feel like any of the professors cared about me as a student but rather selling their latest text book. The worst experience was career advising during my undergraduate experience and as an alumni. I would hope that this issue is addressed for future students."

"The University of Washington prepared me to be the best graduate school candidate I could be. The vast majority of my professors were excellent and truly cared about student learning. Despite the large class sizes, I always felt supported. The coursework was challenging but interesting and I feel very prepared to take on a graduate school workload. My classes and extracurriculars gave me the opportunity to develop skills in research, networking, writing, and critical thinking. Along with the academic programs, the student organizations and study abroad opportunities available are fantastic and allow each person to find their niche. I loved this school - go dawgs!"

"I took the one-year law librarianship specialization. The program gave me a lot of exposure to different aspects of the profession and gave me a chance to work in a library before graduation. I made a good group of friends and it prepared me for my career. I'm glad that I chose this program."
