University of Washington-Seattle Campus Top Questions

I don't believe that the stuck up part is true, everyone is just very involved in their studies. I do agree with the frat/sorority stereotypes. I think that they party way too much, have fake bonds with each other and really are unsafe sometimes from what I have seen from personal experience. I have seen some very unsettling things within Greek row.

Just my personal observation

Not at all. I am a minority, community college transfer student; also, I'm 24. I am competitive at this school; I've made the Dean's List ever quarter I've been enrolled at the UW thus far. There are many white, affluent 18-22 year olds, but there is some variety in the school's demographic, if you look hard enough.

It is a huge school, but it gets smaller every day you are here. There are athletes, but they don't make of the majority... you can find every kind of person here from nerdy to artsy to sporty. It is sometimes a bit hard to meet people until you find a niche or join clubs. The dorms are a lot like most other schools' dorms, but yeah, I'm not a big fan of them! Great way to meet other people in your same situation though.

Not really. There are all types of people on campus. That's what makes it so fun :)

For the most part.

To an extent. But i feel most students @ UW earn there way into college and earn the high quality of education they are paying for and that the UW is know for.

I'm a native and I use an umbrella sometimes...

Yes we are into conservation and we do wear tons of stuff from REI. We also are a little scruffy and passive but know how to have a good time in a pub.
