University of Washington (Seattle) has an excellent reputation of education, so I am very pleased to know that many of the same professors also teach at the Bothell Campus. I feel like it will be a more personal experience.
Will enjoy being here
To me the idea of living in Seattle itself is overwhelming, but Seattle has a lot to offer. Bothell is 15-20 minutes north of Seattle, so I will still have access to the big city without constantly being in it. I think the location will make it more enjoyable for people who like the city, but don't necessarily want to live in it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Again, the UW is often known for providing near Ivy-league educations for a public school price. How can you argue with that?
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Here are some pros:
-No dorms! All housing is fully furnished on-campus apartments for about the same price as a dorm would cost
-Close to Seattle
-You can minor at the main campus
-Private school feel (less than 3,000 people)
-Same professors as the main campus
-Small class sizes (Max. of about 60 for general studies)
-Simple campus (only 2 UW buildings--hard to get lost!)
-Campus is kind of set up on a hill so it's rather private (but only a short walk from downtown Bothell)
-Extremely earth conscience!!! UWB is VERY eco-friendly! They use solar panels, are big on recycling, have a special plastic on the windows to help regulate temperature), and even let the grassy lawns die in the summer.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Perfect if you want the benefits of a big school while attending a small school. UWB has many of the same professors as the Seattle Campus so the level of education is the same, and you can minor in any of the programs UW Seattle offers. You're still a full-on Husky but can have a more personal connection to professors because it's smaller. I come from a relatively minute area so the idea of 600 person lecture halls freak me out! UWB classes are at max. 60.
