My dd is a frosh at UW from California. She choose UW over Davis and San Diego for several reasons. She wanted to go to a school with some school spirit…a school that felt like a big time college campus (ala Pac 10, etc). She thinks the “Ave” is like Berkeley somewhat, but not nearly as intimidating. She loves the area near UVillage. She doesn’t know what she is going to major in but is enjoying dabbling and taking some great classes.

I think the thing that strikes me most is that every so often I get a phone call just to tell me she loves it there. She’s happy and couldn’t be happier with her decision. And I was there just last weekend and it is stunningly beautiful. Maybe that is not what one should base a decision on, but it does help.
