Myself and some others have been putting together a collaboration of UW RSOs offering their zines for free at the Seattle Zine Fair this Sunday. So far, we will be offering zines from the Student Mycology Club and Viable Veganism at UW (soon to be rebranded) and we hope to have more clubs partner with us so we can offer their zines too. DM or comment if your club/RSO is interested in having copies of their zines given out at the event!

I am in state, and this is for undergraduate admissions.

So I almost graduated the Northwest College of Art and Design in Downtown Tacoma and I was there for 3 years but after realizing I had more funding for extra school by the government, and also realizing that art is a career that I do not want to go into (because of the replacement of artists and creatives with AI its just too much of a competitive field. Also the type of person I am the field is just not for me as an extrovert in an introvert dominated environment.) I have decided that I want to transfer to UW or a different 4 year university to pursue a bachelors in strategic or art related communications. Specifically wanting UW Seattle because I have a lot of connections and friends around the area. I have picked up an art class from Tacoma Community College to technically consider me a community college transfer student also.
I have a realistic fear that I won't be accepted because of the percentage of transfer applicants that are. I have a lot of things going for me in my application. Person of color, LGBTQ, Poor mother, Father kicked me out Ive been on my own this whole time supporting myself financially and Im still fighting for this dream to have a stable career for myself. Grades aren't the best averaging a 3.0 for high school and a 3.5 in my previous college. In high school I was fighting a lot financially being kicked out of my home so that's why my grades dwindled. I also went into the UWs application office to ask what I needed to do, seemed like I had everything to be accepted if I have a strong personal statement. I just don't know what I would do, where my life would go if I wasn't accepted Im desperately chasing this dream.

Can I do anything else to up my chances? Trying my best to do anything I can to prep for my application coming up at the end of the month.

stupid question Im sure been asked here before, looking for any specific websites or connections on how to meet people that want shared housing. I always yearned for the experience of having a house where I can throw events/parties in. Im someone that loves community and meeting new people, building connections. Im specifically looking for any LGBT housing in the University district campus and Ive been to one or two queer owned houses that throw stuff but I always wondered how they all meet each other and get in the same housing.

Going to be applying for the MSME online and MAE online programs for the upcoming winter quarter. How competitive are admissions and how difficult is the course load. I am an entry level engineer working for a defense prime right now and I would be on the east coast. Thanks.

Is there anyone who currently lives in the Yugo Wilsonian apartment building in U district who would be willing to share about their experience? My partner and I are debating moving into a one bedroom there. I'm aware of the reviews, but the price for the space and proximity to UW are unbeatable.

Im going into the college of arts and science as a freshman this year as a pre social science student and I’ve gotten the rsn and NSc credits required, at least I think, to meet graduation requirements from ap’s (calc 124, physics 114/117, chem 142/152, stat 290, and cse 110) and I was wondering if i need to take any other rsn classes afterwards such as math 125 or 208 for example or if im good. I was also wondering if you guys had any recommendations for good classes to start off with as a freshman as I’ve had a hard time choosing since there seems to be infinite options. Thank you!

When I applied to UW, I applied requesting a CS major. A couple of months ago, when I got admitted, I got the news that I didn't get my major, and it was only a pre-science major. I've seen some of the vague comments on the major, such as "if you got it js go to a different major" or "go to a community college first". I'm asking now since I have a sense of interest in pursuing an engineering major, is it possible to request classes leading up/the prereqs for engineering or do I have to be directly admitted to engineering first? I'm so lost about what to take for my schedule and having the A&O meetings coming up, it is not helping at all. Am i just bound to be a blank slate till junior year?

>>> Greatly appreciate more info on the major itself if possible (The websites from UW don't say much)

>>>I am an incoming freshman to UW Seattle

hi!

i was given housing accommodations for the dorms and throughout my process i was told through email multiple times that both me and my roommate would be assigned and not need to go through the selection process (my roommate does not have accommodations).

I was assigned to a room with my accommodations but not paired with my intended roommate. It says i am paired with a tracer w.

i was wondering if this is a placeholder/filler and i will be able to pair with my roommate or how i should go about this if not?
thanks!

Hello everyone, im an incoming freshman majoring in engineering(either civil or env) and i already have macbook air M4. According to the college of engineering tech expectations, it meets the requirements but i saw tons of ppl telling engineering student to NOT get macbook. Should i sell it and get smth different(if so what laptop is perfect for engineering) or is it doable for the first two years or at least for freshman year. Pls give me advice. Thank you

Hey,

I'm visiting UW to meet with some people for a program I'm considering applying to. I'll be driving down from Canada and bringing my bike. Is there a good place to park for free that's relatively safe, where I can bike to campus (ideally within a ~30-minute ride)? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks!

my roommate and i were able to get a double in terry hall on the 5th floor after some initial housing problems and i’ve seen a lot of stuff saying that terry is like the worst hall to live in socially and that the distance from campus is not worth it. (a lot of my classes are at or around kane hall) is it really that bad or will we be fine?

Do sophomores still live in dorms or do they get private housing? If sophomores can still live in dorms, how many do? Wondering what to do. Thanks.

hello! i just got a single in hansee hall for my freshman year at uw and i was wondering what rooms have the window seat on the 3rd floor of hansee hall?

edit: i’ve scoured the internet and the only available floorplans are of the 1st and 2nd floors💔

Hi guys! As an incoming freshman, this housing process has been incredibly difficult for my 2 friends and I, as I'm sure it's been hard on everyone else. I was able to get a room in Spratlen, but my 2 friends are together in a room in Oliver. We went through the entire roommate group and priority housing process and got separated.

The third girl in their room does not want to switch places with me, so we are having to find new people to swap with entirely. If anyone has any ideas or can be of some help that would be so so GREATLY appreciated.

This is so stressful and my intended roommates and I want a triple regular or triple suite on North Campus. #toostressedouttothinkofafunnyhashtag

wondering if students also have to attend day 2, given that the FAQ says the family orientation is optional (for family members) (and there will also be a recording).

It is two consecutive all nighters for me so it would be great if I dont have to attend the second one.

STUDENT A&O PART 2 SESSION: FIRST-YEAR
Day 1: Wednesday, July 22 / 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time

FAMILY ORIENTATION SESSION:
Thursday, July 23 / 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time
\Family Orientation is intended for parents and supporters of incoming first-year and transfer students. Students should attend their scheduled A&O session listed above.*

Posting just in case.

Sorry for the wrong flair, I didn’t see one that looked appropriate and this was the closest.

Lately, I’ve been working from suzzallo allen and have been walking to montlake when going home. But I noticed that Google Maps says I should go to U District station (it says it’s faster). If I’m working from foster business library it’s definitely faster to go to U District station though.

I start my first quarter of my masters program for social work in August. My registration is today and I heard that some of the sections are really competitive to get into because of the more sought after professors. I tried looking up on Rate My Professors but none of the names come up.

Does anyone have any specific professors they think I should try for? Professors to avoid?
The classes are: SOC W 500, 501, 504, 510, 524

Thank you!!!

Do yall think the chipotle lettuce/food is safe during this cyclosporiasis/diarrhea outbreak?

Desperate for answers.

Hey!

How good is living in a single in Hansee Hall? I'm introverted who loves my space but also have battery enough to search for a social life as a incoming freshman! Also wondering how the communal bathrooms are?

Hi! So I am an incoming freshman who is a pre-science major. I want to enter the STEM field in the future and am interested in BioE. I heard that getting into an engineering major is hard and impossible. What can I do to increase my chances? And has anyone succeeded in getting in? Also, is it worth trying to switch over in the future?
