University of Washington Prospective Student | Any Current/Recent Attendees Help Answer Questions?

Hi, my name is Lucas, and I am seriously considering UW. I am part of a science and mathematics program that engages students who are interested in STEM. I have a few questions for my research and I would be extremely grateful to any help. Thank you so much.

i. Was college what you expected it to be? Please provide details.
ii. Is your schedule busy? What is your schedule like? Please provide details.
iii. What are the bad parts of college? Explain.
iv. Is college lots of work? What parts are easy and what parts are difficult?
v. Is college independent, or are there lots of groups and help?
vi. Are there any “traditions” at this college? What are they?
vii. Do/Did you participate in activities and were they helpful/fun?

Sorry, University of Washington, Seattle.
