University of Washington - Seattle Reviews

"The University of Washington is a beautiful and excellent school, but is not for everyone. The level of rigor and the large size can make it seem overwhelming to many people. If you enjoy a challenge, are willing to make yourself a community of learners and friends, and do not require individual attention from your instructors very often, it is a great school for you."

"I had a great experience at UW. The campus is beautiful, and there is a huge amount of classes and fields to choose from. Although most classes were very challenging, I got the sense that I was actually learning usable knowledge and that my instruction was high-quality. Definitely more of a studious feel compared to other state schools I've visited/attended."

"The University of Washington and the Foster School of Business are exemplary. Makes me wish I still lived in Seattle area to visit the campus frequently. The Alumni association keeps me connected although I did two later degrees at other institutions. I have a Masters from City University and a doctorate from Capella University. Living and working situations prevented me from continuing at UofW. It is still the best, most community involved university I am aware of."

"The Speech and Hearing sciences degree at the University of Washington is aggressively growing and as a graduate program, UW stands at #3, nationwide. Unlike many BA degrees, the SPHSC undergraduate studies is supplied and equipped to prepare you for clinic first term of graduate school. The speech building is side by side to the clinic and just a few blocks down, we have the UW medical building and UW Autism Center which provides a wide spectrum of opportunities. I think if you map out your undergrad, UW is a resourceful facility with incredibly qualified staff.Read Less"

"UW is by far the prettiest college I have attended. I strongly believe that this school is very diverse and many of the professors really cares about their students and is always available for additional help. Transportation around the area is great and there are many restaurants around."

"Overall the University of Washington is a welcoming campus, but it does keep you on your feet. With intensive courses structured to further your studies and understanding of concepts, UW has proven to be a beneficial school. I've come out of UW knowing that the knowledge that I've received from this University will help me in pursuing a Masters Degree. Furthermore, UW has an abundant amount of resources, helping students in all fields in earning scholarships, internships, and careers. Their goal is to get their students into the work field with whichever degree they graduate with, and that is apparent. Being in a competitive environment has helped developed me and the people around me, to make sure we give our full effort at all times; something I am grateful for.Read Less"

"The University of Washington and their Intercollegiate Athletic Leadership program is great for anyone interested in sports administration. The program has guest speakers from all over nation give us insight about the business. Also the hands on internship gives students great ideal work experience. I believe the program will prepare me greatly in the sports business. I absolutely adore UW's scenery, there is a great view of the mountains and the lake. When it snows I feel like I'm going through a winter wonderland. UW is a friendly campus and the faculty is always accessible to students. The resources that the school provides definitely helps us succeed in our studies as well.Read Less"

"Tips on writing a complete review: University of Washington has given me the chance to open my mind to a different city and lifestyle that will not assist my growth as an individual, but guide my path to becoming a knowledgeable ARNP. I chose UW because the curriculum had classes that other schools didn't. Also, UW is a diverse school in which I needed, coming from a Latin cultured-city across the country."

"The University of Washington School of Medicine is an incredible program that will allow me the ability to become a well rounded, caring physician. UW-SOM has a mission to meet the medical needs of its community, including the W.W.A.M.I. region- Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho."

"International Studies at the UW was really wonderful for building my own personal worldview and helped me think critically about the world. While my track was not particularly career-focused, I know I gained a lot of pertinent skills needed for the workforce and life just by attending. The faculty was incredible and the classroom experience was incredibly rewarding."

"Great program for professionals who are working full-time jobs and looking to pursue a evening/weekend MBA program. The cohort system for TMMBA program is great as you are together with the same students for the entire length of the program, which helps with networking and building long lasting relationships."

"It was great, i did evening MBA program and what was great was the networking"

"The University of Washington's Foster School of Business has a top notch facility, built in recent years. The student body is not very diverse and the faculty is hit or miss depending on the course."

"The university is a large set up from a community collage, with many facilities for students to take advantage and numerous specialties. Despite the advantages,the campus does have some odd quirks that were available in my community collage such as paying or the extremely small desk sizes."

"It was a great college to be with great faculty and departments that are highly ranked in world rankings."

"It was a nice experience, smaller classes, more diverse staff and curriculum."

"I enjoyed the classroom setting. The beginning classes were rather large and it was harder to learn. As I progressed, the classes became smaller and easier to learn."

"UW's OT program is strong overall. There are some areas that could be improved upon, such as breadth and depth of pediatric class content. However, this program adequately prepares its graduates for passing the boards and doing fairly well on fieldwork."

"Very poor experience. The school did not care about students or learning as much as pumping out degrees."

"It was really good, overall. While we learned things well it was also so much fun. I particularly liked the professors and their commitment level."
