Amazing professors who genuinely care about their students but also are super smart and super challenging. Really cool opportunities to do hands on work in the community and in research on campus. Friendly classmates.

Unfriendly, condescending students and professors, but the academics are very good and the campus is beautiful.

This school is pretty nice. The teachers are amazing. The administration can get sucky, but I think they have good intentions and try to be progressive. Everyone says this, but the party scene is there if you want it but not a major aspect. There's nothing really here that is the primary social focus. Most people are involved in multiple things. If you want to party hard, you'll find your crowd, but a good chunk of people don't go hard or don't go at all. Close enough to Seattle that if you have a car (or a good knowledge of the public transportation) that you can go hang out in the city. It's beautiful here when the weather is nice. A welcoming community.
