Student & Graduate Reviews
DDelin - 9/23/2015
Degree: Biology
Graduation Year: 2014
"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."

"Attending the University of Washington was an excellent experience. The campus is beautiful, the biology program was rigorous, and taught by excellent professors. I'd highly recommend anyone interested in the UW to apply."
Graduate 2012 - 6/30/2015
Degree: Biology
Graduation Year: 2012
"Introductory classes were very large, and it often felt like swimming upstream. However, there was an excellent support community once you knew how to find it, and the professors were always excellent."
Joseph Mahoney - 8/23/2013
Degree: Biology
Graduation Year: 2011
"The instruction at the University of Washington went way beyond the classroom. During my junior and senior years, I helped professors with their research studies in the biochemistry and psychology departments. The opportunity to get real world experience not only helped me learn, but it prepared me for life after college. I currently work as a molecular biologist as a direct result of the experience I received as an undergraduate."
