Student
Life
Because in any 24 hours, you're in class for only 3 or 4. Because you need to feed your body, spirit, and soul. Because you want to have friends—and fun. Because you are a whole person.
What do we mean by Student Life? Pretty much everything that isn’t directly related to academics, and even that is a fuzzy line. Your experiences at the IMA or at a concert downtown change who you are in the classroom, and vice versa.
Here you’ll learn about things you can do on your own and with friends, cool things to do right on campus and amazing places to go in Seattle and around the Northwest. We also share information about the support and services the UW provides.
