Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Meet the Washington State CADR's
Do more than the minimum
Somehow amaze people. Being a 4.0 student is good, but being a student who runs her own homeless shelter is better. Have achievements and interests outside of school, because it will help you succeed in school.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
All of the classes expect you to learn so much more than the lecture will teach you. While all the professors and TAs will help you if you seek them out and want to learn, no one will spoon feed you if you don't put in any effort.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Earplugs are a necessity if you plan on sleeping before 12. While many students do go to sleep earlier, even a few students being loud will keep an entire 1/4 floor awake.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Food is expensive in the city. Seattle prices will get you whether you live on or off campus, but the food is great. While it is spendy, it is also good quality and there are a wide variety of different dining options for all students. You can eat in a legit restaurant that seats and serves you, or get food from a food cart and everything in between, all payable by Husky card.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many Registered Student Organizations and if you somehow can't find one that you love, it is easy to make one. The campus is huge and full of sports fields and places to exercise. There are makerspaces and metal shops, video game and ping pong tournaments, a bowling alley and biking, plenty of parties in Greek row and a whole city to explore if that isn't enough.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
You should be going here with some sort of scholarship from the state- as long as you can get half of it covered, you really won't find a better deal.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Most of the building have underground rooms, some are connected to each other- but there are no underground labyrinths to get lost in. Really.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is almost everything you can imagine. If you are unique in a class of 12,000 or so freshmen and no one is doing your thing, you can even start your own club with a minimum of 10 members or something small like that.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
This is a large, open campus in downtown seattle. Anyone can walk on. However, it is very safe considering, and there is a dedicated police force on campus. Bike theft is common.
