I have really enjoyed being a freshman at a campus where the college is so diverse. This is in part because of being in such a famous city, but also because the campus is huge and filled with so many different cultures and types of people. Seattle is such an entertaining city to live in and study in because its fun seeing all the people out in the city, as in Pike's Place, downtown or studying on the Ave. Living here has given me a lot of opportunities to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.

The University of Washington is a school of approximately 27,000 undergraduate students. While campus can feel like a dizzying experience with hundreds of new faces daily, there are scores of opportunities out there for those students.

For example, the University has an undergraduate research program which connects undergrad students to research projects. This quarter I've been working with a professor in the management department. It is a rare quality in research universities which should be taken advantage of.
