University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

I am closely related to the greek system and that is where I spend most of my time and we have 29 fraternities or more now, and about 16 sororities and raise hundreds of thousands of dollars a year while having the best time of our lives.

Student bodies are completely pointless... They only create activities that THEY go to.

There is a great diverse bunch of international students there and they like to get coffee and talk about their worlds. Dress is laid back, jeans, sweat shirt, even some goofy asian guys wear striped sweat shirts and red tennis shoes. Students are usually middle to upper income. Most are politically left. I'm NOT. There are democratic and republican groups on campus as well as a goofy set of nice christians, who have their heads in the heavens. They seem out of touch with the real world. There are some really intelligent people who are concerned about getting thier masters degree. You'll meet all kinds from the earthy-funky types to the brainy-geeky types there.

My experience with groups at school is mainly those people who hang out at the entrance of Red Square who hand out pamphlets, and the people who set up tents at the front of the HUB. I feel like there are so many groups rallying for so many causes that we really don't get anywhere... everything is too spread out. It's like, take our troops out of Korea! Take them out of (insert other country name here)! There's a million injustices - what do we do about them all? Most definitely, a conservative/right-wing student would feel out of place. by far most students wear North Face and Timbuk2. We should dress more creatively. It gets boring seeing the same kind of coat (black fleece, North Face) on every single person. Financial backgrounds: middle-class to wealthy, although there are people who are less financially well off. Feels like a heck of a lot of people are socially/politically active - predominantly left, thank god. People don't mention too much how much they'll earn, but when I tell people that I'm an English major, they ask, "how are you going to get a job?"

I don't think there is a lot of intecation among student; however I guess that it is understandable because there is not time at all. everyone is running somewhere or he or she has something to do before or after class. even in the hub if I have to describe four tables I see only people eating and reading or people eating and listening to music with Ipod. I don't feel like here there are a lot of chances to know people or meet people. Yes, you can meet people during activities, but you're still busy, doing something...there is not free time here. and if someone gets some free time, he/she has to start doing something because they cannot stay relaxed, juts sitting and breathing somewhere, just enjoy the light here....because when the sun comes out it is amazing here.

UW is diverse and welcoming - that totally sums it up. I think it helps that we are in a liberal city, but everyone on campus is all about inclusion and learning about differences. I don't think anyone would feel out of place, unless they wanted all their classes to be like high school. People wear whatever they want to class - anything from sweats to jeans to mini skirts and heels - it's up to you. Some students are politically active, most are aware. More people are liberal, but there is a whole variety here.

Wear to class? Whatever you want or are comfortable wearing. Not particularly style conscious. Only the student that is not quite sure who she/he is and comfortable with that might feel out of place at UWT.

My experience with groups on campus is that they are all very open and understanding. I can honestly say that there is not one student that would feel out of place at UW, unless they really didn't like the weather. Student's for the most part dress casually or comfortably when they go to class. Most UW students are actually themselves from Washington, and they tend to generally be of the middle economic class. Student's are, for the most part, politically aware and active, I would say that a majority of students are wither left or center.

Extremely diverse! People of all shapes, sizes, colors, religions, cultures, etc. I don't think anyone would feel out of place at the UW, it is a huge school, everyone would be able to make friends. The majority of students I would say are from Washington state, but being from out-of-state myself, I've encountered no difficulty in making friends! The school is mostly liberal, but there is a strong "Washington Republicans" club! :)

VERY diverse campus
