Full Time MBA Program - Batch of 2027
4.5
Excellent School, best on ROI.
Tips: The college offers great infrastructure, interesting subjects and excellent faculty but the student needs to be motivated to make the most of the opportunities provided to them. It requires the ability to prioritize and focus. I received merit based scholarship.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Post degree, Seattle has great potential to find employment. There are clear immigration and settlement pathways that you can pursue. OPT and H1B visa opportunities are going to be linked to employment and compensation going forward and the prospects for both is good here.
Dislikes (Part time work): I rated 4/5 because roles are available but competitive. Roles like teaching assistant, research assistant, library assistant and grades are common but there are a lot of candidates and students who are applying to those roles because they are well paying.

Master of Science in Human Centered Design & Engineering - Batch of 2027
4.4
An inclusive diverse and an academically rich college.
Tips: The campus events make the transition easy. I would suggest everyone try the design courses here as it's extremely well blended with research and tech as well.
Likes (Value for money): It gives a lot of great opportunities while you study here to connect with research out talk to mentors and seniors and so much more. It has events all the time to interact with industry experts and the college is very well known in the state of United States.
Dislikes (Safety): The safety at night can become a little risky. Especially if you are walking back alone at night and considering most Master's courses are in the second half and late at night you need a group to come back with. As an Indian, even racism is prevalent to a certain degree.

Master of Science in Information Systems - Batch of 2025
4.1
Good course structure. Public transportation is easy to access.
Tips: Culture is definitely present, however, it's great that people are punctual and they respect others a lot. They love to engage in small talk, which is sometimes fun. I did not avail of any scholarships because they don't provide those to international students. I am very satisfied with the university, the course is good only, the country is also good as far as I've known.
Likes (Public transportation): Seattle campus has great public transport, may it be the bus system or the underground metro. It's absolutely easy to travel around however it does take time.
Dislikes (Internships): I believe the career fair provided by the university are okay-ish and may not be that relevant to the opportunities I am looking for. However, considering the market is very bad right now, I probably can't blame them for the same. They also have career services like resume review and writing guidance which is good.

Great exposure for international students.
Tips: It is a commuter college mostly. On-campus jobs are moderately available and it's an amazing opportunity of exposure too. International students have multiple opportunities to socialize and network with the help of the events organized. Student groups are active too.
Dislikes (Safety): The campus and on-campus housing are safe. But the locations around are not as safe. The campus security ensures safety in the nearby locations and is available 24/7. They are accessible too. In general, weekdays are comparatively safer compared to weekends.

A perfect college in a perfect location with the best summer.
Tips: The culture shock is there and also be ready to face a lot of ups and downs. I was a graduate research assistant at my college and make sure you have some research experience in undergrad. I am very satisfied with my course and country and also the university.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is very good probably the best experience of your life. You have everything be it gyms, sporting events and various events and you are going to enjoy it a lot. Also, you have events at college where you can have the best time of your life and you get exposed to a variety of cultures.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Getting an H1B visa is very hard and most of the companies do not want to sponsor international students. Finding jobs is hard and getting accustomed to a new culture is never easy and sometimes you will miss family.

University of Washington is great!
Tips: It's an amazing university with great opportunities once you graduate. The beauty of the campus is enough to keep you going. The opportunity for scholarships for my programme is limited (1 or 2 out of 60 students). I am thoroughly enjoying my time in Seattle.

The University of Washington is a very well-known university which is heavily favoured by Indian students for its strong ROI and its short distance to Seatle's Tech hub.

All three UW programs like Computer Science and AI, Engineering and Data Science are ranked well.

Comparing the two Universities, it is easier to get into the University of Washington to the University of California, Los Angeles because of its acceptance rates.
