Seattle UW or Su for business school?

Seattle UW or Su for business school?
I am international student and currently I am school in international school. Which one do you prefer for business school? University of Washington Seattle or Seattle University? And why? Thanks..

i am a graduate of UW (ba, ma, phd) but not in business. if you can get admission to both schools, then absolutely go to UW. why? because the level of education you will receive in either is excellent. but UW has a much, much better reputation and is better known. the main argument for SU, i think, is the class size. at SU classes will have less students and help you know people better. UW tends towards very large class sizes for the first few years. but, i would much rather have a diploma with "UW" on it than "SU." more people will recognize it.

Going to Seattle [Washington] for a day for Spring Break, any ideas on what to do, see?
My friends and I, high school teenagers, are planning on spending our Spring Break in Seattle. Any ideas on what to do? We've all been on the Space Needle and everything. Plus, the shopping. I was planning on seeing if there are any free concerts in the area. Any stores or places should we check out?

Places to see or go: - Pike St Market - The Music Experience - Museum of Flight (in Everett - North of Seattle) - Queen Anne District (lots and lots of cool hangouts) - Take the Ferry over to Bambridge Island - See what's happening in the U District (University of Washington) - Fly up to the San Juan Islands (Friday Harbor) on Kenmore Airlines - Rent a kayak and go Kyaking on Lake Washington Just some ideas - hope it helps.

You could try Key Arena, Seattle Center, Safeco Field, Qwest Field, Pike Street Market. I may live about 1½ hours from Seattle, but I almost hardly go there. You ARE talking about JUST Seattle, right? None of the suburbs like Bellevue, Kent, and Vashon, right?

Idaho resident, living at a boarding school in Washington. Can I get a Washington state driver's license?

Idaho resident, living at a boarding school in Washington. Can I get a Washington state driver's license?
Next semester my parents will be sending me to a boarding school about 30 miles from Seattle. I'm a resident of Idaho, and I've never gotten my license in any state before. Can I get my driver's license in Washington state while I'm there? Or do you have to be a resident of Washington to get a Washington state driver's license. By June my parents will have moved to Washington, anyway.

i would say yes but get a Washington and Idaho license or just ask you local DVM :D
2 :
If you are in another state for more than a month, you should have that state's driver's license. You can actually get into trouble with the law if you don't. Exceptions are made for students out of state, but personally I think if you're over 18 then you should switch it. I ran into trouble getting a gym membership and some other stuff too.

Good photography schools in Seattle, WA?

Good photography schools in Seattle, WA?
I'm from Indiana and I'm looking to go to school in Seattle Washington for photography. Is the Art Institute of Seattle good? It's my only choice right now, mainly because it has student housing. I've never been to Seattle, nor do I know anyone that lives there so preferably a school with student housing.

Tell me about Seattle and Washington state...?

Tell me about Seattle and Washington state...?
Seattle and Washington state look really interesting to me. I'm considering a move to Seattle to attend law school. I live near Austin, Texas now (my native state,) but have lived in Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee, also. Needless to say, I might be in for a culture shock, but that's okay--expands the horizons! Some questions: -I know Seattle is not the rainiest city; but, how warm does it usually get in the spring and summer? -I'm not a right-wing nut job from heck, but still a proud conservative; will Seattle be a friendly, open place to people like me? I've gotten mixed reactions about the "friendly" factor in Seattle. -I'm age 32, single, just broke up with fiance, love live music, and into jogging every morning. What makes Seattle, Seattle? (Not Pike Place or the Space Needle, but the local hangouts and establishments.) Thanks in advance for the help! *just broke up w/ female fiance. I'm straight (lol). Uh...WOW!!! This is the most help I've ever received from any locals, anywhere, before moving to any place. Many Seattleites seem to have a distinct and strong sense of pride of their city and state. Keep the comments coming in. Thanks! The aforementioned comment also has to do with the fact that I posted this same question in Polls & Surveys forum. So, between this and P&S, I've received a lot of great feedback.

I moved here from California. I live on the 'Eastside' of Lake Washington in Redmond, home of Microsoft. The Seattle area is like many other metropolitan areas, a collection of neighborhoods ranging from the residential to the light industrial, the quirky to the blue collar to the yuppies, surrounded by a collection of suburban towns. Green Lake Park and West Seattle are two of the more popular places for Seattlites to see and be seen on warm sunny days. Speaking of weather, it may not get the most measurable rainfall in the country, but don't be fooled. It does rain a lot. It's usually more of a medium to heavy mist or light rain. You'll learn the difference between partly sunny and partly cloudy. Currently, the temperature has been around the high 40's to mid 50's. When summer hits, it'll soar into the 80's. Once it hits 80, natives will complain of impending heat stroke. We do have conservatives in Seattle, but this is a liberal town. If you don't wear your conservatism on your sleeve, you'll be fine. Seattle is notorious for it's singles scene. Long considered awful, people have always managed to find each other. There are lots of places to meet, have a drink and listen to music. The University of Washington is called the U Dub. When you hear that the mountain is out, that means you can see Mt Raini.e.r. The Native American names can be tricky to pronounce, ie. Sequim is pronounced Skwim. I learned a lot about the area by watching Almost Live, a local sketch comedy show that you might be able to find on You Tube. Good Luck.

Be prepared to meet lots of skinny people who wear black, red eyeshadow and smoke clove cigarettes, wear 1980s Goth hair with pink in it ,and have 15 roommates. The girls are like that too. Check Portland OR. That will be my next stop when my outrageously expensive lease ends on my teeeeeeeny tiny apartment.

That's funny because I grew up in Seattle, and then moved to Austin about 5 years ago. Pretty much you can expect 40-60 degrees year-round as far as the weather. And it is a rainy place, but it's not really "rain". It's mostly just misty all the time. Jogging everyday might be hard to do every morning in the rain (guaranteed that it will be raining/misting 85% of all mornings) Seattle is definitely not as friendly as the South, but it's not a horrible place to live either. I'm generally a conservative person as well, and I survived just fine. You'll be fine. It's definitely populated, and pretty expensive to live, but it sure is beautiful. It truly is a gorgeous place to see, and if you don't move there I definitely recommed a visit. The thing that I love the most about Seattle is the general "vibe" of the city. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely got a hippy/granola feel to it. I'm definitely not a granola girl by any means, but I still appreciate it. I also enjoy the nature and Native American sides that Seattle has to offer. The only reason that I don't plan to move back is that I really enjoy the warm weather and getting to do things outdoors year-round. It also seems to be a little too congested for me. There are people EVERYWHERE there, and it just seems to be getting more crowded. Anyway, hope my little tidbits help!

hi i just read your interest in seattle.. this might come to you on the late side. but would be interested in answering any question you may have regarding the state of Washington in the seattle area. I am a native to this area. And ,if you have any questions what so ever I may be able to help you ....Let me know. As far as living in the northwest, it has many option.such as, boating fishing, hiking, site seeing , bike trails river rafting, well, its endless. the people here, i think are some what friendly. ( You can ask what time is it and they dont seem to bite your head of, per say) There is a lot of diversity here.. such as different cultures, language , fine arts ect seattle is now rated to be listed as the # 3rd place to live in the states. i think its is because of so much flexibility that is offered here...the terrain is up and down as oppose to very flat. the weather now is mild in the lower 50s now , but may very some up to maybe around 60 or so in the spring time.. Some days are not all sunny or all rainy.. the weather does very to one extreme to the other.. kinda teases you thinking that it might be sunny, then Kaboom! It will change.. but, over all getting use to that... its nice to be here in the northwest. like i said if you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to send me your questions and i will reply. hopefully this will help some... sincerely, Lace

Washington is a very beautiful and friendly state(unless I'm just saying that cuz i live here, lol!) but anyway i live in Skagit county which is bout 45min. away from Seattle and i go there ALL the time.it is a very interesting city, especially if u love live music cuz there is so many bums playing there music on like every single street.it is a very peaceful place to just rome around on the streets. so bout the weather, winter is like around 40 or 45 degrees and in the summer it is in the 70's or 80's and yes people in Seattle often complain bout that being too hot, lol. its really not that bad but in the winter they get like an inch of snow which everyone totally freaks out about!!! the rain isn't that bad either(it rains most in fall and winter) after all it is just rain! its not gonna hurt ya. in spring the rain calms down and it slowly starts to turn into summer, it usually NEVER rains in the summer but every once in awhile it does. and no not everyone is exactly "friendly" but over all i would say that it is a nice place to live. if u do decide to move there i would suggest going to the beach or just walking around the town is really fun but the space needle and pike place are both 2 historical landmarks that ya just gotta go see. well hope this helped!!!

blahblah blah!!!! Seattle is really a very cool place to live, I've lived here my whole life and plan to move away, but eventually this is where I intend to stay! ya it rains, but global warming!! haha... summers are very warm and very sunny! it is beautiful on the water, thereis a lot of stuff to do here, bars, clubs, music (a lot of major bands hit Seattle because it is SEATTLE!!!!) and we have great local music too. check out Studio Seven, The Showbox, The Crocodile Cafe and soo many more. By the way, I grew up at the Pike Place market and have worked there for several years, it's great for grocery shopping and I know several locals who do hteir shopping at Pike Place!!! don't diss it, it's basically the only fresh produce market you will find in the downtown Seattle area. also great people. Seattle may be liberal, but for the most part we are more than happy to listen to other peoples opinions and respect them as you respect ours!! Good luck!!!

its a great place to live, although a little pricey. i live around there myself. Greenlake/Wallingford area is one of if not the most safe place to live around there. i dont want to sound redundant so ive decided that you should just remember this little sidenote: There are lots on nice suburbs around there too, so you aren't just limited to Seattle.

im hispanic and there werent many hispanics there so i did not like that i like living in a place with people of different ethnicities and there were only whites and blacks. I heard Washington has the highest suicidal rates and it is very calm kind of boring for me
3 :
Well i live here for 18 years and its not a place for everyone. I would say its not boring BUT it rains ALOT take this seriosly because you will get sick of it quick unless you Loce RAIN. thus the rain makes it impossible to do outdoor activites 70 percent of the year but summers here are beutiful but SHORT, it is a nice fun place you have a few different types of people which is cool its actually diverse it has like 16 percent asian and 10 percent black so thats over like 30 percent minorities so its very mixed. i would say the worst thing is weather other than that its actually a good place. but Los Angeles is better i been there and liked it way more

What should I pack for a school trip to Washington DC?

What should I pack for a school trip to Washington DC?
So for school we have a trip to DC from Seattle and I was wondering what I should pack clothes-wise. The trip is going to be in spring time (late March, early April) and I don't know the weather there. The trip in about 5 days and 4 nights long. The principal says we walk everywhere so comfy clothes, I'm guessing? If you could give me a list of what you would pack, that would be great. Thanks, Aisha Grace

Comfortable clothes for sure. Dress in layers, since April in the nation's capital has a tendency to be either really hot or really cold, and it's hard to tell which one you'll get on a given day.

These qualifications make a solid application. But there are no guarantees. Much will depend on whether you applying from in state or out of state, how many other applications they get this year, how your application essay sounds, and maybe also what your intended major is. But with these details I'd certainly put in an application!
