I went to the University of Washington years ago. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.

The first thing you will notice when you go to University of Washington is that the campus is nothing like what you see on the website. All of the campus logos and titles are grafitti'd onto the walls. Walking down the student union will always give you your fair share of death threats and people trying to sell you $10 rolex knock offs. The actual offices are also a joke. The university only employs teenage "interns" that clearly breaks labor laws that passed in the past century. One day in the Admissions office I saw some Oliver Twist-looking motherfucker working as cashier trying to add together $0.15 in change. I called the campus police and it just rerouted to their admissions office. I tried calling the real police but they rerouted me to the campus police. I think they're in on the whole scam.

Anti-social & cliquey, fuck yes. All of the students wear the same outfit. Fucking stonewash gray hoodie and beige pants. They all walk in pairs with their steps in unison. Fucking gave me the creeps. If you try talking to any students, they stop and just glare at you. Then they just move on walking without saying a word. I don't understand how people make friends here. I definitely felt anonymous.

The classes were horrible. All of the desk chairs are ergonomically conflicting with the curviture of the human spine. I recently saw my Pdoc and he says I have scoliosis. The lecturing style of the faculty are usually a combination of unintelligible English and the professor's native language. I failed all of the classes my first semester at UW because of this. I think some of the UW professors are felons; my microecon "professor" never wore a suit but instead wore a wifebeater that showed off his tattoos of bulldogs on his arms. Also I'm pretty sure one of the older professors at the university used his tenure as a front for his BDSM outfit. I'll never look at black leather the same way again.

Once I graduated I thought "great, the bad part has stopped, at least now I can get a decent job in the engineering field". Wrong. The industry doesn't even respect UW grads. The diplomas are worthless and not certified at all. In fact they are actually sponsored by Charmin to make their diplomas out of real toilet paper. Now I'm in $80,000 in debt with a piece of paper that I literally should wipe my ass with.

So my advice to you is to stay the fuck away from UW. It's like walking through Mordor except with more Starbucks coffee shops.
