Great performance by the New York-based company at Meany Hall, which was part of the UW World Series - World Dance performances.

At first I thought it was weird that our friends in Seattle wanted to show us around the campus but when we got there I understood why. The campus is beautiful and HUGE! There was so much to see and the students/alumni are very proud of it. It was worth seeing and the restaurants (we went to an Indian restaurant... More

We were here on a Saturday for a high school band workshop. Other than some mis-communication about access to the buildings (they were locked when we arrived) we were very impressed. The architecture is marvellous, the staff were warm and friendly and the ground were clean and well maintained.

Don't miss the "Harry Potter" Library, aka the Suzzallo Graduate Library. Wow. There are older buildings, modern buildings and buildings from the 1960's. The double blossomed Yoshino cherry trees were amazing. My only regret is that I didn't have a waterproofed camera with me!

Such a beautiful campus. Loved the fact that you can sail your boat and dock it outside Husky Stadium.

Visited on a sunny day. The campus is HUGE but beautiful. Local industry (Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon) rain their good fortunes into investments on campus.
