<p>What is the best college in WA for a history major, UW, Seattle University, Western, or Gonzaga??? Which of the these colleges is the best overall??</p>
<p>UW, hands down, in my opinion. Generally, the UW has more funding, better professors, more professors, a wider array of courses, and more opportunities for research than the other Washington colleges.</p>
<p>You've forgotten to look at Whitman. But of those you listed, UW.</p>
<p>UW is the best.</p>
<p>Washington State University. Not 'better' than UW but quite good.</p>
<p>Of course Washington State is inferior to UW in academic rankings and reputation. Since when is WSU quite good?</p>
<p>I heard WSU is a party school. Whitman is pretty good for liberal arts.</p>
<p>UW is ranked better than all of the schools in Washington</p>
<p>Whitman, although UPS isn't too bad. If you included NW Oregon, Reed. I prefer smaller liberal arts schools, but I do think that Whitman and Reed programs would be equal to or better than the programs at UW, regardless of school size.</p>
<p>This would be program dependent, would it not?</p>
<p>I would agree with that and also that it can depend on whether there was some specific area of history that one of the schools may have a special concentration in, or a professor who is a recognized authority in that area etc. </p>
<p>However, the poster just said "best school for a history major" which is pretty broad and general. For "general" liberal arts majors, I just think that the LACs are "better" for many students (maybe just a personal bias) than large universities, and Whitman and Reed are excellent LACs.</p>
<p>how tough of a school is UW? is it hard to get an A in most classes?</p>
<p>UW is easily tops, but out of Seattle U and Gonzaga, which is better?</p>
