I’m from CA (Bay Area) and my dd attends UW. She’s a junior and will be graduating on time with two majors and a minor. There are many things she absolutely loves about UW…the people, the Greek system, the school spirit, the classes, the campus, the bus system. She does not love the weather, but decided one way to get over it was to spend the winter studying in New Zealand (it was summer down there), and spending the summer in Seattle (she has heard it is magnificent.)

She has friends at UCLA, some graduating on time, some not. She loves going to games (even though the football has not been very good…UCLA hasn’t been great either). What I have found that living away (in a different area, climate, etc) has taught her what she likes and what she doesn’t like, and in my opinion that’s what the college experience is all about…taking yourself out of your comfort zone and learning about yourself. She has gotten all of that and more at UW.
