First, the school introduction
University of Washington (UW) is located in Seattle, the capital of Washington State in the western United States. Founded in 186 1, it is one of the oldest universities on the west coast of the United States.
Washington University, known as the "public Ivy League", is a member of the "Twelve Schools in the Pacific", a sports league between association of american universities and the West Coast universities in the United States. The University of Washington ranked 10 in 2020, 26th in 2020, and 4th in 20 19 with Weber Matrix 12000.
The University of Washington is divided into three campuses, namely, Seattle, Bossert and Tacoma. This university has a strong faculty. Among the alumni and faculty, there are 20 Nobel Prize winners, 12 Pulitzer Prize winners, 1 1 space astronauts and so on.
Unlike most universities, which have two semesters per academic year, the University of Washington implements a quarterly system, which lasts about 10 weeks, with a 1-2-week holiday in the middle, of which the summer season is a summer vacation, which lasts from June to September. The short time of each school season is helpful for students to quickly digest what they have learned, and relatively speaking, their knowledge will be more solid. However, it is precisely because of this that students' learning tasks may be heavier and their learning pressure will be greater, so they need to keep focused on preparing for the exam at all times. In addition, everyone should pay attention to the start date. The opening semester of the University of Washington is only a summer semester, which usually starts in the middle and late June.
Second, geographical location.
Seattle, located in the northwest corner of the United States, is the largest city in Washington State, only two hours' drive from Vancouver, Canada.
The climate is warm and humid, and it is rainy in winter. The University of Washington is only 8 kilometers from downtown and about half an hour's drive from Tacoma International Airport. The University of Washington has a light rail to and from the city center and the airport. The bus stops around the school cover almost all directions in Seattle, and students of Huada University can swipe huskies for free.
