What do you love about the UW?

The UW has an unparalleled intellectual environment for undergraduates. Walk through the library and you’ll hear students discussing current geopolitical hot spots. Hang out in the student union and listen in on a conversation about astrobiology. Anywhere on this campus, you’ll find incredible students doing amazing things with their education.

Favorite quote:

Philosophers often praise scholarship; some praise sensual delight; some praise devotion to family, friends, and community. They never praise seeking world successes in money and power.

Jennifer Hecht, from The Happiness Myth
