Elizabeth

Grand. Most of the buildings are brick, adding an elegant, old personality to the campus. Beautiful. For a city school, the UW campus has plenty of green--the sprawling lawns in the Quad and Rainier Vista, the roses and trees near Drumheller Fountain, the famous cherry trees that bloom only once a year for a couple precious weeks.

Chelsea

The most famous image of UW is our quad. That is literally a quadrilateral shaped patch of grass in the middle of campus. The grass itself is not phenomenal, it's the cherry trees that make it stand out. Every Spring, they blossom like no bodies business and literally people from not only around the country, but around the globe come to take their pictures with falling petals. People even get married here. Regularly. Encompassing the quad are four similarly styled buildings that compliment the red brick, while our oldest building can be seen from the exact center. We have a beautiful graduate library, Suzzalo, and a hideous building (Kane) and undergraduate library (Odegaard). Building for the most part vary, as the architecture spans decades and newer buildings become more and more modern. The other visual highlight would be our Drumheller Fountain. From our main "Red" Square, straight to the giant fountain is an uninterrupted view of Mt. Rainier. And by uninterrupted, it is actually illegal to build anything that would impinge on the vista. Go ahead, google it.

Michelle

The University of Washington is a culturally diverse school, in terms of ethnicity, religion, orientation, and beliefs, which gives students the opportunity to grow in their education by learning with and from their peers, allowing students to refine their education academically and enrich their college experience socially.

Carla

The University of Washington could improve its service to students by becoming signficantly less departmentalized. As a student, it is very difficult to get a straight or consistent answer from any department. Usually the student ends up getting juggled from department to department and only getting parts of the whole story. Not only is this damaging to the student, but the university may also miss out on opportunities concerning the student's education. If more communication was established between departments, much frustration could be saved and the Univeristy could achieve some coherency.
