Kimberly

Since I came from a high school where the majority of people I saw were Caucasian, it was really nice to see students of color from all different backgrounds. UW Bothell has a rather small campus, so professors ad other faculty and students are easily accessible. I think that by being here, I am more socially and politically aware of my education and my environment than I was when I was in high school. I was also so thrilled to see that there is a strong Vietnamese community at UW Bothell through the Vietnamese Student Association. It is really empowering to see students like me with similar passions and ambitions, and changing the normalcy of being white. I am grateful for all the things that I have learned and achieved at UW Bothell, and with the campus growing larger, I can't wait to see other bright students bringing more to the table.

Bryle

Overall, University of Washington-Bothell Campus is one of the three University of Washington campuses. The community is a small campus that allow students to feel engage with the campus and the profession. The campus is the most diverse college campuses in the nation; nearly 46 percent of UW Bothell students are students of color. My opinion of the campus is that this college allow me to get connected with extra academic clubs, students, and teachers. I would say that I have changed from my high school to college. I had learned and develop skills along the way in my first year of college. I would say my first year was a most memorable experience I ever had.

Michelle

I think that UWB is a overall decent school to attend. Unfortunately, it is not a good match for me. I think that they have a specialization that doesn't match with my future goals, which is why I am transferring. The professors I have had are good teachers and knowledgable on their topics. The students are also friendly so far.

Warisha

The campus is a notably small campus but includes a lot of opportunities to develop as an intellectual, most notably in STEM fields. Professors are very approachable and easier to get to know on a personal level compared to universities with a larger student to faculty ratio.

University of Washington-Bothell Campus FAQS

  1. What is the Acceptance Rate at University of Washington-Bothell Campus?

    The fall 2020 acceptance rate for University of Washington-Bothell Campus is 80%. That means, out of _____ applications received in 2020 , _____ students were offered admission. The number of males who applied was _____ vs the number of females which was _____.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Advice I would give my past self about college life and making the transition into it is, 'although it is frightening like you had imagined it in the first place, it is very well worth it. College is truly a liberating and extroadinary experience; liberating in that a lot more freedom and responsibility is given to you, and extroadinary in that it is something to take in in your every breathing moment and to not take for granted. You learn more ways to adjust your life accordingly to real life situations such classes, socials, jobs, internships given by administrators or professors, projects built and geered by you, studying, abroad programs, etc. College is also, by personal opinion, the ideal and best place for classes, where everyone in the entire classroom sincerely cares about the subject and do not want to jeopordize their education with usual high school predicaments where someone is being loud and obnoxious. And however tedious the transition to college may seem, you will be happy and grateful to have endured it to embark on a new life, even a rebirth. Keep yourself up to date and do not procrastinate (as much.)'

  13. Describe your favorite campus traditions.

    My school is best known for its interdisciplinary approach to all fields and its multiple pedagogical methods. There is no one discipline that refuses to touch or branch out into another. Even business or science majors must incorporate a vast array of humanities and social sciences into their learning. Class sizes are small, leading to a sense of community in the classroom with the instructor a part of this community, not just the orchestrator. Students leave with a rich, holistic learning experience.

  14. Is the stereotype of students at your school accurate?

    Often times the University of Washington is known for accepting a lot of Asian students. That stereotype is true, but there are a lot of other people that go to the school that come from all over as well as being local to Washington. But other than that I am not aware of any stereotypes, but if someone has any let me know and I can give you my opinion based on going to the Bothell campus.

  15. What is your overall opinion of this school?

    The greatest aspect of UWB is the very personal and dedicated community feeling that it embodies. Even basic prerequisite classes such as English 101 have class sizes as low as 24 students. This structure allows the students to get to know their professor and fellow classmates on a very intimate and informal basis. You don't disappear as a face in the crowd amongst hundreds of people, instead you get a very hands on and engaged curriculum that promotes self expression and thoughtful discussion. When I tell people I go to the Bothell branch instead of the main Seattle campus they get the assumption that it is a lesser fringe campus for people who couldn't get into Seattle. I firmly defend my school by saying that I prefer the small community feel and interdisciplinary approach to learning. The town of Bothell fits this tight-knit feel perfectly since downtown is only several blocks long and is largely comprised of locally owned small businesses which feature numerous discounts for students. The school's administration is very approachable and is constantly looking for students input on how to make the campus better. The academic advisers are extremely knowledgeable and helpful and a student can even meet with the head chancellor and administration board without much difficulty. Outside of their respective offices the administration and faculty will warmly greet familiar faces and take time out of their schedules to converse with students and student organizations. The most recent controversy was an incident where someone wrote the word "fags" on a school map outside on of the buildings. The student body responded by having a tolerance campaign which let students openly discuss the issue and sign banners stating that they will not allow intolerant language to be used around campus. Hundreds of signatures were collected and the banners were hung in the student vista as a reminder for the campus's commitment to tolerance and non-discrimination.

  16. What is the stereotype of students at your school? Is this stereotype accurate?

    There doesn't seem to be a large amount of stereotypes at the University of Washington Bothell. There seems to be a lot of people at the school that fit into the oxymoron category of stereotypes, where people can be really intelligent, but also love to be outdoors and doing sports. Compared to the Seattle campus the people seem to be very involved in the community and relaxed (i.e. people dressing for comfort and not showing off). There are all types of people at the Bothell campus, and new student can for sure find people that are similar to their own personality.

  17. Tell us about the sports scene on campus.

    At the Bothell campus there is no league sports, but there is a good number of club sports. All the sports are easy to get into, such as going to the student life homepage and then find the activities tab, which has some of the important information about sports. Some of the sports say they are available and then you find out that the club doesn't exist anymore, so do get your hopes up too much if you see a really cool sport. Many of the sports are led by students, and so some of the scheduling can be iffy or few people show up. To sum up, if you just want to play a sport for the fun of it rather than being completely competitive, you'll like how the sports are set up at the Bothell campus. You can also create your own sport club, and soon enough we will have our own sports fields on campus.

  18. What are the most popular student activities/groups?

    Our school has several coed sports teams but since our campus doesn't have a sports facility the large majority of student involvement is in the various activist groups. Our school has a Human Equality and Rights Everywhere (H.E.R.E.) club, Achieving Community Transformation (ACT) which does community outreach volunteering, Health Educators Reaching Out (HERO), sustainability organization, and Bothell Speaks Out which rallies against cuts to education to name a few. Since the campus is smaller it is easier to reach students in the major flux areas and rally support for the various clubs. I am personally involved with HERE, ACT, Bothell Speaks Out, and coed dodge-ball. So far this quarter ACT has done a Toys for Tots drive, helped raise funds for the Camp Korey Alternative Spring Break program which provides free week long camps for disabled children, organized an AIDS awareness march, and assisted with Make a Difference Day which aided the city of Bothell with ecological restoration efforts. Student housing was very limited in previous years but this year they added several hundred beds by buying out neighboring apartment buildings and converting them into "husky village" dorms. Although I don't personally live on campus the Husky Village residents seem to reflect the very communal and friendly demeanor of the on campus activities. With the lack of athletics there is plenty of campus events each week ranging from open mic nights, to bingo, to free fitness classes, to video game and movie nights. Meeting friends and potential relationship prospects is quite easy if one is willing to talk with fellow classmates and people they see in the major flux areas. I have meet my closest friends through class discussions or from simply joining groups of people in student hang out areas who were discussing something I was interested in. Since the campus is small and close knit it is easy to meet up with people on a daily basis and build close friendships. The yearly traditions and events include convocation for new and returning students, husky adventures for incoming freshman, multicultural nights, recognitions of alcohol awareness week, AIDS week, etc... The party crowd usually goes down to the Seattle campus Greek row on the weekends since the Bothell campus only has one set of dorms. While there still is the inevitable presence of alcohol, the husky village residents typically have several friends over to play video games, watch movies, or just talk. Downtown Bothell closes pretty early as well so there isn't a "night life" outside of the dorms which can be good or bad depending on ones personality.

  19. What's the Greek scene like?

    There is no Greek scene at the Bothell campus! Just a few on campus housing apartment/dorms, which have much more space than typical dorms.

  20. Why did you decide to go to this school?

    One of the biggest reasons I decided to go to the Bothell campus was the fact that the classes are so small that I am basically getting a private school education for a public school price. I have always been a student who likes to talk to a teacher when I am having difficulties, and at the Bothell campus that way of learning is welcomed and supported, as well as creating a curriculum that actually prepares you for real life situations and tie in may different types of information. I also decided to go to the school because I was able to commute to school and wasn't required to live in the dorms my first year, especially since I only live 7 miles from the campus.

  21. Describe the dorms.

    Bothell Campus: Personally, I do not live in the dorms, but commute to campus. But I do know that the dorms are apartment rooms converted into dorms. That means that students get more living space with their roommates for the same cost as regular dorms, plus get a kitchen, bathroom, and living room. Also the school has started to make groups and organizations for people that live on campus, so its really easy meet nice people and make new friends. The walk is not too far from campus, like 5 to 10 minutes depending on how fast you walk. It is something I would have done if I didn't live 7 miles from campus already.
