UW students are diverse, open-minded, liberal-leaning, active, intelligent, ambitious and also know how to have a good time.

I could not describe my classmates in one sentance because UW is such a diverse campus that there are students from all different backgrounds with very different perspectives.

Friends for life!

Carol

In huge classes, you only get to know maybe one or two people during the quarter. In these big classes you'll usually find at least one person who you click with. In smaller classes here, you really get to know your classmates better... it's almost like being back in high school. We have the usual range of students here in just about every class: at least one know-it-all, the suck-up, Greeks, people who really are smart (but still humble), people who struggle with the work/tests, friendly kids, weird kids, funny kids, tired kids, etc.

Karis

There is an enormous variety of people at this school. Its impossible to generalize what classmates are like; a lot depends on the type of class you're considering.

Rhea

My classmates are the kinds of people you hope you always know. They are the kinds of people that you don?t just enjoy, but admire. To meet a University of Washington student is to know that they?re going somewhere; they?re taking their lives in their own hands and becoming exactly who they?ve always wanted to be. Students at the University of Washington are unmatched in drive, compassion and diversity. They strive to learn more and achieve more. Attending school with students and people like these creates the environment dedicated to success that we are known for.

Elizabeth

They are very diverse and bring unique experiences and opinions to the classroom.

Thao

Ambitious and cut-throat, especially the premed kids.

Rebecca

My classmates can be fun and easy to get along with sometimes. Other classmates can be annoying -- especially when they talk all through class (if you want to talk, don't come to class -- some people are actually trying to learn stuff). It can also be annoying when people fall asleep in class or are making a lot of movements/shifts making you uncomfortable as well.

Matthew

My classmates were there to get a degree, have fun, and then get out.

Adrianne

Unless I have met my classmates previous to the class, it is very unlikely that I will form a relationship with them. I see a new face and I sit next to someone new everyday. Therefore, more often than ever, my classmates are like strangers.

Chris

Fun people who still get their schoolwork done.

Julia

My classmates fall into two categories: extremely intelligent individuals who could not afford to go to a better private or out of state college, and not-so intelligent individuals who got into UW because they did well in a WA state high school by taking easy elective classes.

Kevin

I absolutely love life at the UW. Students are eager to learn and motivated to succeed. I couldn't ask for anything more out of my classmates.
