<p>which is better?</p>
<p>Definitely Seattle, foster is ranked 20th nationwide (usnr) while bothell may not even be in the top 200.</p>
<p>Of course Foster… Although I heard that both campuses share the teachers.</p>
<p>The interesting point is that you might have a less renowned faculty at UW Bothell, but you’re also less likely (I’m told) to have a Graduate TA running the class. So it will be some non-Rockstar scholar teaching the class, but they’re actually teaching it instead of having Dong Wong teaching Business Economics 300 at Foster (Sign up for his class, he’s an awesome guy and class is fun). I had a good experience with mine, but others are not nearly as fortunate.</p>
<p>So it is a tradeoff. Remember that your degree will read “Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration” with a focus in Marketing, et cetera, regardless of which campus you attend. Since the academic fairs are in Seattle and open to both, it’s less of an issue.</p>
<p>You should also consider what sort of work you want to do. Do you want to work in Bellevue or in Seattle? Is Microsoft or other tech firms or T-Mobile, then maybe Bothell is the choice. They have the “Bellevue Leadership Center” that you could do your schooling at and have excellent intern/extern opportunities immediately. But in Seattle there are many more diversified firms that you might want to join. It’s all about tradeoffs.</p>
<p>There are many things to consider. But there isn’t always an either/or question in this situation, because you could do all of the things at Seattle and Tacoma with each other. But in Bothell it will be a more relaxed environment and Seattle will be more involved. I walked 4 miles around UW Bothell today (it is near my home) and it was wonderful.</p>
<p>^ Haha, you had Dong Won Lee, too? I had him for Econ 200. He was a good lecturer. He told us, “I was in the Korean army for 2 years, I have keen eyes. Don’t cheat on this quiz.” Though I think he made his first midterm very easy so he could get good course evaluations, while making the final difficult… bringing down the median.</p>
<p>“I was in the Korean army for 2 years, I have keen eyes. Don’t cheat on this quiz.”</p>
<p>LMAO he also says “Okay” a lot</p>

<p>Won’t the degree say something like from bothell if you to UW bothell and from seattle if you went to UW seattle?</p>
<p>I believe it will be a “University of Washington” diploma, but it will say there that it was given in Bothell and it will be signed by the chancellor of the UWB.</p>
<p>Yes I heard the same. Do you think employers actually look at that? Do you think an employer would think the resume from UW seattle looks better than the one from UW Bothell</p>
<p>The resum</p>
<p>“Do you think employers actually look at that? Do you think an employer would think the resume from UW seattle looks better than the one from UW Bothell”</p>
<p>Yes, somebody might consider degrees from UW and UWB different, but most likely this somebody will be in Washington. I think few people outside of this state know the difference or will care about it :)</p>
<p>Possibly when you are a new graduate or applying for internships, UW Bothell and UW Seattle resumes would be scrutinized more carefully. </p>
<p>However, after that, I would think that experience, performance, and/or former manager recommendations, rather than alma mater, will be much more important. It’s really what you make of it.</p>
<p>One of the main reasons I think that Seattle is better than Bothell is because of the resources available through the Seattle campus. I know that next year the sister building of Paccar hall will be open and contain a large variety of resources such as dedicated staff to recruitment/job placement/internships. There simply is more to take advantage of in Seattle than Bothell such as clubs and resources. While the exact classroom lessons MAY be the same material taught by possibly the same professors, its the actual School of Business as a whole that makes Foster such a higher standard than Bothell. </p>
<p>Similarly, employers aren’t stupid. They’ll research whichever college you went to if they are seriously considering you and once they see that difference in education from Bothell vs. Seattle they may assess you on a different level than other applicants. Now, will your local Wal-mart care about the difference? No. Will Pricewaterhouse Coopers, McKinsey, Starbucks, Microsoft, and other larger companies? Definitely.</p>
