Why come to the University of Washington?

Get to know the University of Washington, rated one of the top public universities in the world.  Are you ready to be a Husky? Click the link below that best fits you to find out more. Admissions: https://admit.washington.edu/ Student Tours: https://tour.concept3d.com/share/T_MRB88GI/stop/1 Student Housing: https://hfs.uw.edu/Home Athletics: https://gohuskies.com/ At the University of Washington we have the largest College of the Environment in the nation, our global health initiatives transform research into actions that save lives, and UW Medicine serves hundreds of thousands of patients a year. We offer more than 6,500 different courses to our undergraduates and focus on career preparedness. We pride ourselves on a world-class education for a reasonable tuition: about 60,000 students attend UW, and nearly 70% graduate with no known debt. The can-do spirit that fueled The Boys in the Boat men’s rowing team to an Olympic gold medal in 1936 (and inspired the best-selling book and Hollywood movie) is still alive today, both on and off the field. Our students cheer on their Huskies in the water, on the court, and in the greatest setting in college football—Husky Stadium, where you can either tailgate or sailgate on Lake Washington. We’re psyched to be a new member of the Big Ten. If you tour UW, you’ll find a gorgeous campus, a welcoming community, and the furriest live mascot, Dubs. Close to both beaches and mountains, UW is in the heart of Seattle, a vibrant city full of dreamers and doers, home to the headquarters of Amazon, Starbucks, and Microsoft. Two more UW campuses are nearby in Bothell and Tacoma.

UW astronomy undergrads launch careers in coding

Is there a ninth planet in our solar system or an asteroid heading toward Earth? Find out how University of Washington astronomy undergrads are using their Python coding skills to predict future discoveries — and prepare for future careers. Learn about their work: https://www.uw.edu/boundless/decoding-the-universe-dirac In this video, hear from Husky STEM majors about the benefits of doing hands-on research as undergraduates — and how the UW is at the forefront of data astronomy. Today’s astronomy is a high-tech science, so students need skills in computer science and programming along with math and physics. The students’ class projects and research findings will help scientists at the UW’s Institute for Data Intensive Research in Astrophysics and Cosmology (DiRAC) when a revolutionary new telescope comes online in 2025. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s telescope will produce the most comprehensive survey of the night sky, capturing millions of changes in stars, galaxies, asteroids, planets and more. This database will require algorithms to sift through the billions of bits of information — and that’s what these future astronomers are learning to create.
