"UW Bothell offers the UW education with a private school feel. Having completed my undergraduate degree on the main campus, studying at Bothell has been a breath of fresh air. Gone are the barriers of large classes and seldom seen professors, the opportunity for growth and advancement is noticeable."

"UWB offers an exceptional masters in education program. The professors are very knowledgeable and are available for one on one support. The content of the courses are up to date and are focused on research based teaching strategies. After every class session I walk away with new knowledge that I can apply directly to my classroom practice. The in person class meetings is one of the biggest reasons why I chose this program. Each class has regular opportunities to collaborate with fellow teachers. This program also ties together the pro-cert process into the class set. Thus, when I graduate I will have my masters degree, professional certification, and a reading endorsement. I'm very pleased with this graduate program so far!"

"Masters Program in University Of Washington Bothell, is one of the best program in Computer Science. Program has great value and very strong academics.one of the challenges is that the overall cost for program is too high,being an international student is becomes more difficult to fulfill this cost."

"Although the lack of financial aid and high cost of living in the Seattle area are a burden, every cent spend on my degree has been and will be worth it. The quality of education is high, the investment into each student is considerable, and the potential for future growth is exceptional. With my degree, I will be able to make legitimate changes in the policy realm in the future, rather than sitting by and watching policy change around me. This can only be done through investing in education, which I am fortunate enough to do at the University of Washington Bothell."

"UW Bothell offers the small campus feel for aspiring Huskies. Having completed my undergraduate degree at the Seattle campus, I find student life in Bothell to be familiar but much more accessible and inviting."

"great school! with the school having less students than Seattle campus it is so much easier to have a teacher-student relationship and get help with work because there is less students."

"The best part of studying Policy is the tangible hope that, one day soon, I will make a difference in the lives of those who are unable to access basic needs. My graduate program has allowed my fellow classmates and I to learn how to change international injustices through policy. The con of the program, like any other program, is the financial burden, and the feeling that the worlds issues are much bigger than one person can handle."

"UW Bothell's education program offers small classrooms with the best teachers around. I have found that teachers who teach at UW Bothell prefer the smaller class size and are dedicated to teaching. I have attended bigger schools in the past but the teachers at UW Bothell are my favorites!"

"University of Washington Bothell's of business provides very practical and real world education. What I very much appreciate is how the classes are smaller so the student feels much more connected to the professor. The con that I can really think of at the moment is just the amount of construction that is happening in the school it sometimes gets very distracting."

"Short program meaning will be a heavy load of school work, but is also a pro since it is only one year that finances will be put toward going to school. I would also say the location of the school is very much a pro. It is near many restaurants, hot spots, in the city near many resources not only for school, but also for living and looking for a job."

"Small class size makes it easy to know your fellow students and faculty. Classes seem appropriate for general MBA. I'd like to see some more specialized courses for the program. Workload seems to be very team based which can be a pro or a con. Some projects I'd work better on and learn more from if it was solo work."

"I am in the evening EDP program. The professors have been great, for the most part. It is hard to know who to select because the evening professors rotate a lot. The program has excellent research and community supports, and a strong student advisory board. As a member of the evening cohort, a lot of the additional workshops, trainings and electives are not available to us, which is frustrating. We also do not qualify for a lot of the scholarships and financial aid options, which makes it difficult. Overall, I am enjoying the process and my cohort. The courses are creative and leave a lot of room for us to pursue different interests. The professors are almost all currently in practice, which gives them great experience to draw on and share. The cohort is very diverse and has some fabulous people."

"I like the student-centered atmosphere in the University of Washington Bothell. It provided small class for students so we could have more connections with professors and fellow students, which could also make you feel a deeper involvement in classes. In addition, to get help from school faculties in this small community is relatively easier as they would have more time to spent with you to solve your problems. There are also many useful student resource that we could get help from. -The Career Center is a very useful place to help students with jobs consultations. -The Writing Center is a resource to help students who are struggling about writings. -The Quantitative Center can helps students with any kind of problems that is related to numbers. -IT help desk is also a great resource where students could lend digital equipment that helps with their course works. The only complaint I have is that the surrounding of the school is not where students could hang out during breaks or after classes, which made it more difficult to build up friendships if you don't drive. Other than that, I would highly recommend this school to anyone who want to learn successfully."

"The programs offers a ton of hands on experience. From day one we are either prepping to be in the classroom or we are in the classroom. One of the highest employment rates. Possible cons are intensive time commitment with an inability to work while in school. Only takes a year."
