Show More ReviewsWhen traveling, I always want to visit the local universities—it feels like living a different life for a moment. Especially when it’s such a famous public university like the University of Washington. Gary Locke, former Microsoft chairman… they all graduated from UW. Bill Gates’ father, a well-known lawyer, once taught at its law school. Bruce Lee also studied here, and it was where he met his wife. Later, I visited UW’s Suzzallo Library—often referred to as the real-life “Harry Potter Library.” It grandeur rivals that of the Boston Public Library. The UW School of Medicine also ranks extremely high, consistently alongside Harvard and Stanford. Its programs in clinical medicine and public health are also highly ranked.

Its grandeur rivals Boston's public library. Also, the University of Washington's medical school is highly ranked, consistently on par with Harvard and Stanford. Clinical medicine, public health, and nursing are all excellent. It's close to Amazon and Microsoft headquarters, and it collaborates closely with tech companies like Google and Meta, so its research funding is high.
