What People Are Saying About University Of Washington
Featured Review

In Short – The University of Washington has one of the prettiest campuses anywhere. Other draws: top nursing and medical schools; breakthrough research in genetics, international studies, chemistry and psychology; and one of the largest research libraries in North America. The University of Washington--better known as "U-Dub"--opened in 1861, first in what is now downtown Seattle, and then to its current location, which came to be known as the University District (or just the U-District).
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- It's the largest university in the Northwest, with more than 37,000 students on the main campus and on satellite branches in communities such as Bothell and Tacoma.

The Best Educational Experience
by seattlefan at Citysearch
I love the University of Washington. The diversity, people, community, dining, and life as a college city-within-a-city is amazing. The people have a cool vibe, are educated, politically sane, articulate, and well informed. The area itself, including the eclectic U-District, features an endless amount of restaurants, cafes, ice cream shops, coffee shops (gasp!), thrift stores, media stores, music shops, trendy boutiques, and plenty of vibrant unique stores - you have to pop in to see what its all about. Overall, the campus is breathtaking, the faculty world-reknowned, and the area very hip and trendy.
