UW is very open and diverse, and almost every type of person could find a home here. In general, due to Seattle's overall attitude, impatience and aggression usually do get you very far here. It is a very communal school, where students tend to help each other rather than behave in a cutthroat manner. Professors and TAs make themselves very accessible with open office hours, and encourage all students to visit and become more involved in the educational process.

Academically motivated, wants to do research in their field (particularly if planning to attend grad school), ready to deal with an overwhelmingly large campus in a very urban environment. The lower level classes tend to be huge, whereas the higher (300/400) level courses are smaller (30-40 people vs. 500-700 people) and summer courses are usually small and taught by grad students.

But there are so many exceptions that anyone with a strong academic background really might have a good experience here.

There are two general students at UW: motivated and complacent. The person who succeeds and enjoys the fruits of the what the school has to offer has to be motivated. The school is overwhelming populated with eager students, that one must be willing to go above and beyond what was required just to make above average grades. One can also be complacent and go into the school, get their degree, and in what seems like a few month they have a resume with just a degree title. The school has so many opportunities, that only a motivated student can enjoy.

Someone with an open mind, curiosity, and an appreciation for learning; someone social with a good sense of adventure

Someone who is good at staying motivated and working hard without any reminders. It is important also for a UW student to be comfortable actively reaching out to others to make friends, because the campus is so big that you won't run into the same people over and over. The ideal UW student should know when they come in what major they want because otherwise it is impossible to finish your major on time.

People who care about their academic learning, and want to experient college life.

People who want to attend this school should be very self-motivated, confident, and willing to work incredibly hard because (1) the classes are either huge (so if you don't go, nobody will notice) or they are small (and the teachers don't care if you go), (2) There are a lot of students here, so without confidence you tend to feel a little bit lost in the crowd, and (3) everyone else is here works incredibly hard, so there is usually very little curve in the classes.

Lazy people should not expect to succeed if they aren't willing to put an effort into anything they are doing. The school has a name and they try to hold up to it and this means that the students must work hard.

Students that are motivated and willing to learn. The University of Washington is a very competitive school that requires a lot of work and confidence. Classes are difficult and designed to weed out students who aren't working as hard.

The UW is a school for people who are eager to learn and don't mind sitting in large classes when the need arises. The opportunities it offers in education, career paths, and even personal hobbies are boundless and exciting, if you're only ambitious enough to take advantage of them. The student body is large enough that there is nobody to hold your hand (as is the practice in high school). The better you are at adapting to new scenarios, remaining open to new ideas, and applying yourself to your studies, the more successful you will be!

To attend the University of Washington you definitely have to be very dedicated to and focused on your studies, you must have a passion for learning and getting involved with your academics, and you have to be outgoing in meeting new people and making new friends. The great thing about attending a university in such a large city is there are so many different opportunities and so many different people. The diversity on campus is almost overwhelming, but it's definitely something that adds to the experience of meeting new people from various backgrounds.

Somebody who wants a good quality educational experience, but also likes to have fun and participate in all of the extracurricular activities we have to offer

Students who are independent learners and who thrive in an urban environment should attend this school. UW is especially good for those interested in research, law, medicine or business. You must be able to tolerate lots of rain and lots of walking!

The kind of person that should attend this school is someone who is very self motivated. The reason I say this is that since majority of the classes are very large and often on a curve you need to push yourself in order to succeed.

Any person who is willing to work hard

Someone who likes having options. If you come to a school this big, if you want to change majors- you don't need to transfer somewhere else. But you do need to be pretty self-sufficient, because there isn't a huge support community for students, and although people are nice and the staff/admin people are nice - its just such a large place that you need to be able to do things for and by yourself.

Not only that, but the students contribute to each others learning because active participation in classes is encouraged. Although the University of Washington is a large campus, you'll definately create great relationships with both students and professors alike. The UW is also located in 'the big city' so there is always something entertaining and fun to do, after studying of course!

This school works best the the focused, self-motivated student. It's a large campus with a ton of people, so the sort of person who does best here is the kind that can look out for themselves and makes an effort to pursue their own opportunities and can self-motivate to keep school and social stuff in check.

This school is big eniugh that, whether you know exactly what you want to do or are only sure about the general direction you want to head in, the sheer size of the community will expose you to so many new opportunities and cultures and mentalities that, the school itself can direct you. The number of experiences available here ot interact with your subect and not just study it is fantastic. This is a place for academically-driven, environmental, curious, energetic, culturally-interested students, as well as those who just want to nail their studies with a reputable research institution.

The kind of people who attend this school seem to be very independent and outgoing both academically and socially. Many of the dormatories especially are quiet most of the time and require those living there to really take the extra step if they want to find friends. However, the people living in these dorms seem to like it because they can focus on their studies more easily without having to pack up and head over to the library all the time.
