Seattle is aweful place, rains all the time. Nothing to do around here if you don't ski and after work and on weekend, there are few places to hang out. And the traffic is horrible. Only two main freeways and always there is some kind of accident. And UW uhhh, what to say about that. That university got an attitude problem. Since it's the only good university in this small town, they think they are something. Though UW is not even in top 20 universities. There are lots of students and very few good university around. This is the reason why they have lots of requirements to get admission. You should try better universities in east coast or in cali where it's easy to get in. So if you have a choice stay away from this washington.
