hi. i’m wanting to transfer to the uw for the 27-28 school year after i have my associate degree. yesterday, i ate so much free food at my current school and i was wondering if you guys also got it like i do? i feel like i eat free lunch at least twice a week, and it’s definitely more at the end of the year. yesterday i got 4 cookies, horchata, a piece of costco cake, oreos and cheetos, lots of cheese and crackers and 2 mini sandwiches.

Hey, I'm an incoming CS freshmen with a lot of AP credit, so I've been considering finding a double major to plan around.

Do any CS or CE majors have an suggestions for interesting/useful majors to pair with CSE? Right now Applied Math and Stats look interesting to me (pure math is a little too rigorous for me). Business/Finance also but not sure how viable that is.

Thank You!

I GOT IN!!!! I also got into Social Work which was one of my top choices! so excited to officially be a husky GO DAWGS! 💜

For anyone in the Alumni Association, is the “Online Journal Access” through EBSCO as good as current students get? Will I still be able to access all the journals/publications (Nature, Wiley, etc) after I graduate if I’m a member, or is the access drastically worse? Similarly, does the UW Library online system work the same, or do you get access to a lot less stuff after graduating?

Hi. Reported to police and UW campus security already, but flagging here for community safety purposes.

Yesterday evening around 7:30 I was walking through the UW campus from the light rail station. He followed me for a few blocks down Brooklyn and west on NE campus parkway, but he looked like a student so I didn’t think anything of it. Pretty trafficked route.

About a quarter block away from the Eastlake Ave underpass, I was grabbed by the hips; and he crouched down and placed his face between my legs from behind. I get the impression he was trying to smell my crotch. Turned around, screamed at him. He ran off.

He was about 5’ 5”-5’ 7”, dark hair. Unsure of race, but was Latino or Asian from my read. Appeared to be a student, I’d assume he was 19-22. Was wearing a green jacket and a sling bag. Had a set of incredibly noisy keys, which is how I knew he and I shared a path.

Hoping this can get visibility at the least. I’ve been street harassed before but this one feels like the most invasive.

Hello! Has anyone heard from University of Washington Waitlist yet, specifically in-state students.

Anyone know whats been going on recently with UW Seattle's transfer decisions for its engineering schools?

I applied as a transfer student to UW for the upcoming fall of 26 and I have been placed on a waitlist for the program of my choice (MSE) even though I completed all the transfer requirements and have a GPA of 3.4.

I spoke with some of my friends and classmates in my CC classes and almost all of them are either on a waitlist or have been denied admission to their first and second choice majors also. Its a weird situation to be in but I was wondering if others were also experiencing this and if someone had an Idea or an answer about whats going on.

Ahhh this wait is killing me. I’m a Washington CC transfer who applied with the intended major of psychology although I know can’t apply to the major until my first term (I think that’s how it works 😅).

Is anyone else waiting who’s intending to apply into the psychology department? I tried that unofficial transcript hack but it says I’m not a current student at UW (hopefully that doesn’t mean anything as of right now).

I applied with a 4.0 gpa, 100 credits, and all my psych prerequisites done so I’m really hoping I have a fighting chance.

im in a bit of a pickle. this is my first year at uw, and im about to finish spring quarter. I was valedictorian in high school and graduated with my associates, but when I went to college I started having mental health issues. long story short I stopped going to class and now I need to get my life together. im considering dropping chem 162, but im scared It will throw me off or make me look bad. ive never dropped a course before, but im fully willing to retake it. for the bio degree all that is needed is a 2.0 cumulative gpa in science things, and right now I am sitting at a 3.0.

If I drop the class it puts me at 11 credits, so im just worried how this will all affect me and what the right choice is. will it be a problem if I have 11 instead of 12 credits? im also scared to tell my family, I kind of feel like a failure and would love some advice.

During the cherry blossom festival at the University of Washington, on the weekends when all nearby street parking was clogged and the parking garages were nearly full, the N5 lot near the Quad was closed to cars, with security guards coning it off.

I don't know what the rationale is. Obviously it would be beneficial to the public to be able to use those spots. But presumably they were worried that once those spots were full, there would be a line of cars winding slowly through the lot waiting for people to leave, and then there would be another line of cars snaking down Memorial Way trying to get into *that* line, so they just closed the whole thing to avoid a mess.

But to an engineer, it's painful to see an obviously useful resource get squandered. It also contributed to the slow line of cars snaking constantly through the Central Parking Garage instead and the clogging of parking on surrounding streets.

The solution would seem to be to limit the lot to some subset of users that is large enough that the lot would be effectively utilized, but limited enough that it wouldn't create a traffic jam. And one option would be to limit it to ADA parking.

Arguments in favor of this:

• The ADA parking spots in Central Parking Garage were about 80% full on cherry blossom weekend.
• The line of cars snaking through Central Parking Garage was not only slow but probably also risky to pedestrians leaving and returning to their cars, so presumably even more risky to ADA users.
• The N5 lot is almost as close to the Quad as Central Parking Garage, and you can get from N5 to the Quad without taking an elevator.

On the other hand, I don't know anything about how this type of planning works; is there some legal or logistical reason this would be a bad idea?

hi! i’m a freshman from california and i was wondering if there were any online programs where i’d be able to transfer credits to UW from? ik you can take classes at like BC, but im OOS so its basically the same price as attending UW. has anyone had any experience with other online courses form colleges (asu online, wgu,etc) that have transferred over?

Hello so Im an incoming freshman and im really confused about classes and registration. I got into the college of engineering ( undeclared) and my main interest is civil. Ive been seeing that many freshman already know or have planned what classes they want to take and so on, however I have no idea how to do that. Like Im not sure which classes are required, how many to take, when I should have them planned so when registration opens I have a shot at them. Does A&O help with that or is there a specific page where I can check requirements for engineering or does anyone know what classes are recommended. Please any help is appreciated!!

On the context of safety at uw I want to bring up a situation that although happened last spring still bothers me. I used to go to the hub and do work in the main area by the fire place and one time I saw an older man like 40’s with a hat and sunglasses on sitting and taking a video of a young girl who was sleeping. It went on for like 20 minutes and I reported him to hub staff and they said because it was a public building they can’t do anything about it. I saw him several times after this always in the same chair either videoing girls or looking at girls in bikinis on his phone. I reported him several times and the hub workers eventually said uw police would come but they never did. I am still very annoyed by this and I stopped going to the hub so idk if he still goes there any more. Just because a space is public doesn’t give permission for old men to come and be creepy, uw should not allow it, and there should be measures of safety in these more public buildings.

what’s with the fireworks on greek ave rn? it’s 12:40AM, Im not complaining but it would be nice to know what they’re celebrating

Forgive me if this comes across as insensitive—but the discourse about the recent tragedy at Nordheim is largely that the student was murdered in a hate crime, that they were killed because of anti-trans rhetoric or for being trans, etc.

Obviously, now is a pretty awful time to be a trans person, and that’s saying something because it was never easy. However, is this claim based on anything other than that fact? Am I missing something about the alleged murderer’s background, or is this just speculation?

I have like 800$ left on my dining card. Does anyone have ideas on what to use it on? Note: I did purchase the cheapest plan btw
