    Hii! This video was super informative, thank you so much for making it! I'm going to be a freshman this fall at UW and i'm doing the bio+chem series that whole year. I'm wondering what you think about the teachers- are they hard? do they teach or do you do most of the learning on your own? Have you used rate my professor before and is it useful? thank you soo much 🥰

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm glad it was useful. I barely had two quarters with in-person professors, but they were okay. They have office hours which are more helpful than lectures and emailing or Canvas messaging. They teach you the concepts, but reinforcing them is done on your own. I look at Rate My Professor, and it is useful. Sometimes I get worried if a professor has a low rating, and it ends up not being so bad. If you have the choice, maybe go with another professor, but if not, don't freak out about the rating because everyone has a different experience.

    Hiii I just wanted to ask do you know if it is difficult to get into an architcture major there?

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Unfortunately, I don’t have any insight on that! It‘s capacity-constrained, but there is a range of competitiveness with capacity constrained majors.

    Hi, I just got accepted into the pre-nursing program and I'm super excited; but, I heard getting into the nursing program is extremely difficult at UW. I was just wondering what your experience with that was?

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Congrats! I'm going to be brutally honest. If you get into another school's nursing program direct admit, I'd go there. If you get into another school whose nursing program is easier to transfer into, I'd go there. Since nursing school admission is so competitive, you spend most of your first two years stressed out. Going to UW as a pre-major with the intention of transferring into a competitive major (i.e. nursing or computer science) is not worth it, in my opinion. If you get rejected from the major, you have two options: transfer to another school where you can get your desired major OR take time off and try to apply to the major at UW the next cycle. UW is a great school, but many people go in unaware of how the pre-major system will affect them.

      asians are the majority poc, and you can look at the demographics online. not a ton of black/hispanic people but they're there. the general vibe is welcoming of people from all backgrounds.

    on move in day, do u have to unpack all your “dorm” things in the room they assign you or can you leave that stuff in you car and just take in stuff you’ll need? cause like what’s the point of unpacking all that stuff if your just gonna have to pack it up again at the end of the week? idk if that question made sense lol edit: this was a really great video. thanks for sharing! it was super helpful!!

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      i'm glad it helped! you don't have to unpack all of your things in the room they assign you. i only brought what i would need for rush (you get a list), and my parents would bring everything else at the end of the week :)

    im in a house at UW and I completely agree with everything you said. I rushed as a sophomore bc I was too scared to go through rush week as a freshman (none of my friends rushed & I was worried being in a sorority as a POC). COB-ing is a way better process for joining a house cause its so much more chilled and the girls are much more informal, so you can actually see how they are regularly. But yeah, the system is honestly wack and way too harsh on girls.

    • @amelia9935

  • @itskatarina
    @itskatarina 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Would you say that the environment is really competitive? I'm an out of state student and I really want to go to UW because of the urban environment. However, I've heard that the classes are really hard :( Also, are you a pre-health major rn?

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The environment is competitive, but no so bad that you can't have fun and relax when you want. It also depends what major you're in. STEM classes are particularly difficult, but I haven't experienced people that won't help if you ask. Office hours are helpful too - I didn't go until the end of fall quarter, but I wish I had sooner! I'm a pre-nursing major. Laundry is $1.25 per wash and $1.25 per dry on your Husky card. Each residence hall has a laundry room in the downstairs or basement area. They don't provide detergent, bleach, etc. :)

    • @amelia9935
      @amelia9935 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      there are advisors that can help with individual questions. myplan (the system you register for classes through) has an "audit degree" option that shows you what prereqs you need to complete for each major. most people take the chem 120, 220, and 221 series freshman year to get it out of the way.
