"The Masters in Taxation program at the University of Washington is a unique experience. This program allows you to build a network of professionals who are intelligent, down to earth, and fun. These are lasting relationships that will follow you all throughout your life. The courses are hard, the content is difficult, but the support of both faculty and your class cohort makes it well worth the journey."

"The Audiology program at University of Washington was an excellent program that gave me both classroom and clinical knowledge to prepare me for my career. The staff is excellent and supportive and the opportunities to expand your knowledge in research labs, offsite clinic rotations, and supplemental academic work were given to all students who wanted to further their audiological skills. I'll be forever grateful for my experience."

"There's no arguing that the University of Washington's Seattle campus is one of the best value institutions in the United States. Located in the heart of Seattle, and with an extensive range of programs, beautiful campus, and diverse student population, this school is one of the most dynamic and exciting places to study. As a student studying Linguistics at UW, I was able to delve deeper and think critically about my studies with a wide range of classes available. Further, the extracurricular opportunities available on campus are incredibly valuable for those seeking real-world experience and service. I was able to pursue many of my own personal interests (activism, mentorship, and language exchange, to name a few) in addition to receiving a world-class education. I would definitely recommend UW to anyone seeking to grow on an academic, professional, and personal level. This school is amazing and I am incredibly grateful that I was able to attend here."

"The University of Washington was a wonderful place to get my education and the Geography program is a top rated program nationally. Some of the best Geography PHd's and grad students provided an exceptional level of knowledge and insight. Geography was not my first degree choice, but in the end I was pleased that it's where I completed my degree."

"UW had so many great resources available to students. Excellent professors & interesting classes. Now that I've graduated, employers definitely move me to the front of the line with a bachelors degree from UW. I would recommend to anyone seeking their first degree. I'm currently looking at going to grad school at UW to get my MBA. Very Proud to be a Husky!"

"My program was insightful and my degree very helpful. I think that just like with any other program or degree it is what you make it. You have to be willing to work hard and figure out what it is you want to do and how to use your degree to get you there."

"It's the best law program in the Pacific Northwest, bar none. It doesn't have a great national reach, however, so staying local will keep your prospects the strongest."

"The program is so large creating very scarce funding. I am an out of state student and the cost of attendance is really high with no solid solutions to my financial shortcomings besides more loans."

"One of the top schools in the nation with a strong focus on social change, the school is led by some of the greatest leaders of the community. They could stand to improve efficiencies throughout the school but particularly with respect to their practicum program."

"University of Washington is a great school. I received my undergraduate degree there and just got accepted to the graduate school. I have been communicating with faculty and advisors and received lots of support. Navigating the avenues to receiving financial assistance is a bit challenging, but that is hardly unusual. Overall the quality and value of education at the University of Washington is pretty exceptional. I would recommend this school to anyone in a heartbeat."

"I feel that the program is very competitive for it's field. The professors are experienced and extremely knowledgeable. The education I have received so far is invaluable. The only negative aspect is parking on campus/accessibility. The U-Pass has fixed this problem for me."
