<p>I'm curious as to the demographics at UWashington.</p>

<p>Because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, is there a large population of native Japanese students?</p>

<p>What about international student population in general, maybe Russian, Pacific Island, or other nationalities?</p>

<p>Are there many students from Alaska? Canada?</p>

<p>What about the Native American population?</p>

<p>This is silly, but just from watching Mariners games on TV, I see ads in Japanese/Chinese, and I'm curious as to whether there is a large international population in the city, on campus as well.</p>

<p>For instance, if you go to Texas, there are a large number of Mexicans just because of the proximity of Texas to the Mexican border.</p>

<p>Could Seattle/UWashington be a place for an American to get a taste of overseas culture? </p>

<p>Would this be a good college to learn Japanese, Russian, Chinese, especially if you're interested in working overseas at some point in your career?</p>

<p>Ummm. There is not a lot compared to like Chinese or Korean students, but there is a decent Japanese student population. It depends on your classes, but the school in general is not very diverse.</p>

<p>It’s good in the sense that there are a lot of languages to choose from.</p>

<p>asians at UW are mostly chinese & korean
if you’re looking for japanese students, there are a lot of japanese exchange students at Western Washington</p>

<p>it really depends on where you’re from, seattle is more diverse compared to usual suburbs because it’s a city but it’s not as diverse as other bigger cities like those in CA.</p>
