University of Washington - Seattle

I enjoyed my major in Public Health. It was a very interdisciplinary major that encompassed my interests in health, data science, social sciences, and math. I was able to get many different working experiences in research both inside and outside of school.

The school offers lots of flexibility to complete your degree. There is also a lot of different degrees and programs that can be taken in order to further your education. There is lots of enrichment activities outside of class like hearing guest lectures from current and former Ph.D students regarding their work, professors talking about conferences they have attended, and people in industry talking about their careers and giving tips to get a job after graduation.

UW has an incredibly strong research program with lots of interdisciplinary opportunities. I enjoy my classes and extracurriculars. Outside of school there are lots of different resources (e.g., the IMA, Husky Health Center) and student communities. I would recommend.

Studying for my BSc in Adult Health Nursing at the University of Washington has been a really rewarding experience so far. The lecturers don’t just teach from textbooks they bring in real clinical examples, which makes it easier to understand how everything applies in actual patient care. The University of Washington provides a solid and supportive environment for nursing students. It’s not an easy program, but if you’re committed, it prepares you well for a career in adult health nursing.

I'd like to think I'm a somewhat independent person, but I wasn't prepared for the change in environment here. Everything is independent/lonely - social aspects/career/community. If you want community here, you have to treat it almost like another class and put in that amount of effort.

The academic life was great -- respectful and educated professors and clear guidance from academic advisors, etc.
The school offered a lot of resources for its students’ career, such as career fair, small groups for interview practices, and even one lecture from one of the classes I attended that is dedicated to how to prepare for job interviews. But you need to be motivated to seek these, not feeling discouraged or only trying to get good grades in your class.

The quality of the faculty is second to none in the region, and is definitely among the best in the country. The program is solid, with a fair amount of work required to succeed, both inside and outside of class. As for the University itself, the campus is amazing, especially during Spring, like right now.

UW has fantastic professionals who are passionate about the topic they study, research, and teach. They are diverse and well qualified. UW is also expensive, especially for an online degree. It's a great experience, but not the most lucrative investment compared to other institutions.

The school was perfect for what I wanted, which was to learn skills that would help me travel the world. Thanks to my degree I was able to travel and make a living as an English teacher, editor, tutor, and part time bar-back. I think back on my time as a Husky and still perk up whenever I hear something mentioned about one of its teams or something cool that the school is doing.

The University of Washington is a school that truly rewards those that seek to go far in academia. It has a ton of resources, community groups, and opportunities to flourish for those that seek to be rewarded. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking to further their education.

The education was under shadowed by a toxic environment due to student body inserting themselves into political decisions that protests do not change.

It was difficult to focus or walk on campus with these people. It consumed half of the degree just trying to avoid the majority of students.

I had a great experience academically. My school was rigorous and challenging, but it instilled amazing habits inside me. On the flip side, I didn't have a great experience socially. I felt like the school was very isolating and lonely for me and many others.

I liked my courses but did not feel supported in a job search. I did not have many opportunities for career counseling or internships. I felt the classes were too focused on ecology rather than human biology. I also felt that advisors and professors were not accessible

The UW is a world-class institution with a focus on research and high quality education. I enjoyed my time at UW and all the opportunities I had to "make my own way" across the many diverse opportunities available to me. There are social clubs, academic or science clubs and so many chances for someone to get into research. One aspect of being at such a large university is the impersonal nature of being one among many, and there is some lack of a personal touch until you find your community.

The University of Washington is a very beautiful campus and a great place to get an education. There are so many classes available and some really great teachers to guide you through the learning process. There is great food available at the HUB and I really enjoyed playing hoops and working out at the IMA. It is a top notch college and a wonderful place to get an education.

I am beyond frustrated with this school. Everything is capacity-constrained: the majors, the events, the clubs. It feels worthless being here and trying to expand as a person. Unless you are an extrovert, good luck. I honestly feel stifled, unsafe, and sad here. The academics are good, but socially it sucks.

Going to UW is (and will hopefully remain) my greatest regret. If given the ability, I would scream at my younger self not to go. Basically all of my problems tie back to this school. No one faculty is apathetic, and the only real value provided was networking opportunities and internships - which required you to independently study and work on projects to get because the needed material is not taught in class.
