General Questions for an Incoming Freshman

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

<p>Hey ya'll, I have some quick questions that hopefully you guys can all answer. I committed to UW a while back and one of my first questions in housing at the campus. </p>

<p>A lot of the classes i will be taking are 2 days per week classes such as Biology, Computer Science, Calculus, etc. so would it be worth it to spend the extra 9-10k and house there? I live roughly an hour away and feel I could miss out on valuable connections and get lost in the crowd. </p>

<p>I signed up for the earliest A and O session as well so what classes should I aim on going for freshman fall year, as in which fill up very fast? I don't have a set major but plan on heading towards engineering or pre-med. Thanks in advance everyone!</p>

<p>I’m curious what you mean by “2 days per week classes”
I know at least Computer Science classes are MWF lecture + quiz section, and Bio (at least 180) is 4+ days a week. I believe Calc is at least MWF as well.</p>

<p>Calc is 5x a week unless you want to skip class. Don’t skip class.</p>

<p>While you take intro courses, you’ll be on campus 4-5 days a week.</p>

<p>Nevermind, ignore this post. Didn’t know how it was formatted, so I misinterpreted the dates for classes.</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it :)</p>

<p>You don’t have to live super close. This place is 8 min from campus on a bus that runs every 15 min until after midnight.</p>

<p>Takes for your inputs guys for before. I have a quick question regarding financial aid that hopefully someone can answer. Is it possible to use the subsidized loans and the other loans on a car? The bus schedule for where I live is very awkward and unless I get a car, I will most probably have to dorm, not to mention the weather can get a bit crazy here. </p>

<p>Also, if not, which dorm is better Elm or McMahon? I’m not a business major but the dorm for McMahon is roughly 3k cheaper than Elm. But I don’t how much worth it it is going to be to dorm with premed/engineering students, having a private bathroom, and living in a new hall.</p>

<p>Every person who i have talked to that has gone to college has said that you should live on campus for at least the first two years (Freshman and Sophomore). I agree, and that is what I will be doing. I hope to see you there! Go Huskies!!!</p>

<p>Raamzic, you are free to use the money any way you want. Of course, after it has been applied to tuition and fees. When thinking about a car, take into account the cost of parking on campus - it’s several hundred dollars per quarter. You might be better off renting a room close to campus for the same price.</p>
