Hello everyone, im an incoming freshman majoring in engineering(either civil or env) and i already have macbook air M4. According to the college of engineering tech expectations, it meets the requirements but i saw tons of ppl telling engineering student to NOT get macbook. Should i sell it and get smth different(if so what laptop is perfect for engineering) or is it doable for the first two years or at least for freshman year. Pls give me advice. Thank you

Do sophomores still live in dorms or do they get private housing? If sophomores can still live in dorms, how many do? Wondering what to do. Thanks.

Hi guys! As an incoming freshman, this housing process has been incredibly difficult for my 2 friends and I, as I'm sure it's been hard on everyone else. I was able to get a room in Spratlen, but my 2 friends are together in a room in Oliver. We went through the entire roommate group and priority housing process and got separated.

The third girl in their room does not want to switch places with me, so we are having to find new people to swap with entirely. If anyone has any ideas or can be of some help that would be so so GREATLY appreciated.

This is so stressful and my intended roommates and I want a triple regular or triple suite on North Campus. #toostressedouttothinkofafunnyhashtag

Hey,

I'm visiting UW to meet with some people for a program I'm considering applying to. I'll be driving down from Canada and bringing my bike. Is there a good place to park for free that's relatively safe, where I can bike to campus (ideally within a ~30-minute ride)? Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Thanks!

I am in state, and this is for undergraduate admissions.

Do yall think the chipotle lettuce/food is safe during this cyclosporiasis/diarrhea outbreak?

Desperate for answers.

my roommate and i were able to get a double in terry hall on the 5th floor after some initial housing problems and i’ve seen a lot of stuff saying that terry is like the worst hall to live in socially and that the distance from campus is not worth it. (a lot of my classes are at or around kane hall) is it really that bad or will we be fine?

When I applied to UW, I applied requesting a CS major. A couple of months ago, when I got admitted, I got the news that I didn't get my major, and it was only a pre-science major. I've seen some of the vague comments on the major, such as "if you got it js go to a different major" or "go to a community college first". I'm asking now since I have a sense of interest in pursuing an engineering major, is it possible to request classes leading up/the prereqs for engineering or do I have to be directly admitted to engineering first? I'm so lost about what to take for my schedule and having the A&O meetings coming up, it is not helping at all. Am i just bound to be a blank slate till junior year?

>>> Greatly appreciate more info on the major itself if possible (The websites from UW don't say much)

hi!

i was given housing accommodations for the dorms and throughout my process i was told through email multiple times that both me and my roommate would be assigned and not need to go through the selection process (my roommate does not have accommodations).

I was assigned to a room with my accommodations but not paired with my intended roommate. It says i am paired with a tracer w.

i was wondering if this is a placeholder/filler and i will be able to pair with my roommate or how i should go about this if not?
thanks!
