Why we love the UW - Real stories from UW alumni

Where to start? I love that UW is in Seattle. The vibrancy of the city is reflected in the school. I love that UW is surrounded by nature - the Sound, Lake Washington, Mt. Rainier - it helps you keep things in perspective. I love the quad in springtime, when the cherry blossoms are out. I love the hike from student parking to the main campus; it keeps you in shape. I love the diversity of students and faculty. I love the award-winning study programs and our champion teams. I love purple. I love Huskies. I love feeling proud when I tell people where I went to college. - Elaine, '07
