The University of Washington - Seattle

Date: Oct 22 2009
Major: Undecided (This Major's Salary over time)
Overcrowded classes, enormous halls with very uncomfortable desks. Very busy campus. Faculty not interested in the particular student: there are too many of them around. Professors are more or less knowledgeable, but it's hard to develop a personal approach in 500 student class. TAs are not qualified enough in most cases. Almost all instructors are extremely left-wing, and campus overall is obsessively liberal. The campus is NOT safe, with numerous robberies and other criminal activities. At the same time it's the most expensive state university in WA. There are almost no college alternatives in Seattle metro, apart from small costly private liberal arts colleges, so UW could be picky. Some students prefer less crowded programs in UW Bothell. Overall, I'm disappointed with UW, at least with their social sciences. If you want to experience left brainwashing during every lecture in the overcrowded halls this place is for you. Football craze. Did I mention it's really rainy in Seattle?
