University of Washington - Bothell Reviews

"There is limited funding for graduate school."

"I feel that the quality of the education is outstanding. Students considering this program should be aware of the courseload, even though it is considered a part-time program it is a significant time investment. That being said, the mentorship, instruction, and networking aspects are unparalleled. I especially like the cohort structure and the convenient location and classtimes."

"I really like UW Bothell because of professors and class sizes. There is not much social life in UW Bothell or "college experience", but everything else is awesome!"

"Pros: 1. A really intriguing, challenging and likable set of courses/subjects offered which are also closely related to their practical importance in the industry. 2. Plenty of Research opportunities available with most of the professors working on a variety of areas in Computing and other closely knit fields. 3. The Faculty/Professors on the campus are easily approachable always there to assist a student in almost any glitch that he/she is facing ranging from academic situation to professional dilemmas. 4. Small classroom sizes and High Faculty-Student ratio sets it apart from other crowded campuses where one may easily feel lost out. Cons: 1. Common in some campuses though still, the cost of living on-campus is not that affordable to the students, student social life is better when living on-campus. 2. Good quality catering available although the number of food/restaurant options are relatively lesser."

"This is only my second quarter of the program but so far, the classes are highly engaging, thought-provoking and provide insight into issues surrounding the educational community that are relevant and applicable to my own practice."

"Pros: Diverse, In-depth Cons: Fast-paced, Course scheduling constraints"

"I like the M.Ed program because it is dynamic. The only challenge that I have currently is financial aid."

"The MAPS (Master of Arts in Policy Studies) program is great in that it can be tailored to your specific policy interests. Its a smaller campus than the main Seattle campus, so advisors and instructors are much more accessible. At the same time, support systems/organizations, especially ones that cater to promoting diversity, are still severely lacking. Another issue I have run into is that this program is fairly new, so it is still building its capacity to accommodate the varying sub-fields of policy. I do love the freedom in being able to choose my own path."

"The graduate certificate and MSCSSE both offer evening classes so students can work while going to school part-time. The professors are great and the quality of instruction is good."

"It allows me to work with professors who are conducting research in the field of my interest and the overall environment is very conducive for growth."

"Pros: 1. Quality of education is good. 2. Interactive education Cons: 1. High tuition fees"

"The graduate program is very well structure to balance work and family. I found that the professors have a lot of work experience and bringing their education and professional experience in the teaching is the best value someone can get. I feel blessed that I was accepted into the program and I look forward to a good journey."

"I did not receive any financial aid from my university yet and that is reason why I haven't rated that criteria. I personally feel that there could be more events conducted for international students at the appropriate times, not that they are not available now, but am not able to make it because of the timings and workload with my course. It may be the case that I am not able to manage it properly, but still I feel that it would be better to have events arranged for grad international students like us at a feasible timing. There could be more resources made available for sports activities with diverse games which are followed or played in countries from where majority of the international students pool here for enlightening their knowledge and career."

"There are definitely many pros and cons to attending a University. The pros for my university is that its very diverse and small class sizes. It helps you connect with the professors on a personal and professional level and it helps you succeed more in the future and in their class. The cons is that tuition is expensive which has students including me working more than one job which makes it hard for them to focus on school and their duties as a student."

"We have excellent facilities and capable faculty. The campus is very small compared to the main campus in Seattle, this leads to a feeling of belonging and community as we all get to know each other."

"The pros of the Biochemistry program are that you learn a lot about what is happening on Earth. You understand more the world that surrounds us. And you can fine solutions to make it better using science. The cons are the high level of competition between the students! You need to work really hard to be the best. And it become difficult to be excellent in work while having a good and happy social life."

"The faculty has been amazing, I feel they are top-notch. Incredibly accessible. Since I don't live on campus it is hard for me to know what campus life is like."

"The pro are excellent learning experience and networking with other professional with similar passion and interest in the area. It is a challenge to manage between family, work and school workload."

"I am currently in media and communication studies, it is interesting so far. I really like the safe environment campus, with lots of opportunity"

"The Computer Science and Software Engineer major perfectly matched my past working experience. The course design totally support me for better future I 100% believe."
