I went to college at UW, and I am so proud of it! I now live in southern-california (in USC territory), but there are a few of us huskies down here, too. I got my masters in psychology down here at Chapman University... but I'm still a husky :)
I attended this university decades ago. The hard academic training still resides in my soul and who I am. The campus was so beautiful I still can see the breathtaking beauty of the architecture in each season when I close my eyes. I created the most romantic and intellectual memories there. It took me years to realize all that looking back.... I have visited so many different universities internationally since, but UW is just so special.... This is something.
Good school, big though. I recommend it if you like the area, have a specific career goal. My time here went by too fast and would enjoy studying some more. But it's difficult at my age now. Wished I would have stayed longer and had more time to explore the school and area. Beautiful campus in all seasons. Should have had more after school activities, not just studies. Good academics, facilities, etc.
