Visit
Experience for yourself the sights, sounds, and life of U-Dub. It's a small town of 60,000, a Collegiate Gothic oasis in the city, a rain-fed botanical haven with 400 species of trees. Does it feel like home?
Words and pictures will never tell the whole story. If you are thinking the UW might be the place for you, visiting is an important step in your admissions journey.
We help you experience the UW so you can see yourself here. Guided tours? Sure. We also offer freshman info sessions for prospective students and their families. For those considering transfer from another college, Transfer Thursdays are a must. And for visitors wanting to get the most out of the Emerald City and the Evergreen State, our tips and links help you discover why this is a special place to visit and live.
