University of Washington - Seattle Reviews

"The program is very well designed. So far, I have had such knowledgeable professors that time has flown by. The amount of work needed per class is heavy, however, professors always try to make it interesting so that it doesn't feel like a ball hit you. So far, I have been nothing less than very happy for choosing the University of Washington to pursue my DNP."

"This is the best school in terms of competitiveness and quality. Proud to be here."

"Our school program is very nice and provide various research opportunity. Cons are very limited and tight budget and less financially support"

"I find that my experience at UW School of Nursing is pretty good. The faculty and staff are really supportive. The atmosphere of research is strong and you can learn a lot from the top-notch nursing researchers here. If your goal is to be a top nursing scientist, I think you will not regret to choose this school. However, sometimes the research world can be overwhelming, especially under the current funding crisis now. It is really sad to see those well-written proposals do not get funded and those frustrating faces."

"The biggest perks of my program: it is an old established school with excellent faculty and a solid national reputation, which sets me up well when applying for residencies, and I have access to leading practitioners for clinical teaching."

"Excellent institution with lots of variety, options, and faculty to work with. Strong research institution to collaborate with. Good cross department working."

"I enjoyed it. Good teachers, flexible class times. I plan on going back there for my BSN."

"Superbly awesome. Education was highest quality and changed my life."

"I received a great, well-rounded education at a top-notch university. It motivated me to move onto further my education working in the social service arena (I went on to get a master's degree in Counseling/Psychology). The campus is beautiful and the staff excellent. I highly suggest doing an internship during your senior year. I received financial aid all 4 years I attended."

"Quality of teachers and instruction are mostly stellar. Student-to-teacher ratio can be disappointing the first year or two. You must be proactively pursuing resources to find the aid or advice needed for your particular major, research or internship opportunities related to your career goals, or to find alternate sources of funding. With a school this large, this can often be an overwhelming process to find the who, what, where for each item of concern."

"The University of Washington offers a competitive and diverse array of degree opportunities. If you want to earn a degree that is highly revered among employers and valuable in your job search, the University of Washington is a great choice. There is also a great deal of community and involvement opportunities for every hobby or unique interest you may have."

"The UW is a great school, but I only experienced a small slice of it: the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, where the teachers and courses were excellent, the other students smart and engaging, and the facilities top-notch."

"Everything I am today I learned from Washngton,a wonderful expreienced faculty that has reshaped my understanding to the modern world ,it has enabled me inspire others in more ways I didnt think I could ,as I go travelling all over the world I feel quite confident interacting and facing all forms of social ,political and economic forces the world has to offer,What makes it so special is the approach it has given me to challenge myself and realize in life it's more of knowlegde and wisdom that works. I am proud to be a bona fide student of Washington University."

"Attending UW was a great experience- I was challenged, and I felt like the professors were top-notch. I enjoyed going to school there even if I ultimately didn't end up using my degree."

"I definitely appreciated the smaller classes with more discussion and hands on learning. It is very important to know your learning style & find a school that fits your needs. It's silly to go to a school where you are 1 of 1,000+ in a lecture hall when you are a hands on learner like myself. I learned the hard way!"

"The professors in the program were actively involved in the field, which is very important since CompLing is constantly evolving. I thought the profs were excellent, and the material covered was relevant and widely applicable to various sub-disciplines. I did dislike the cost of tuition; it's more expensive than other UW graduate degrees. That said, because of the degree, I now have an excellent job, so the cost ended up being worth it."

"University was a time of self discovery and exploring new ideas. Developing good studying and learning techniques will benefit you in which ever direction you decide to follow in life."

"UW is a great school, lots of opportunities to meet new people and make connections, but I feel like the work load for students in Biology is so high that you don't really get a chance to take advantage of those opportunities. You learn a lot, but if you don't make the right connections, then your degree won't really get you a job on it's own. It really is all about who you know when looking for employment."

"The school's admissions office staff were awesome and went above and beyond to help me out."

"There were some great classes and there were some classes that were not very good. Most of the classes were very large and you spent part of the time in the large class being taught by the professors and part of the time in a smaller class setting being led by a teacher's assistant. There are a lot of resources available to help you succeed and figure out what you want to do after you graduate so make sure to check those out."
