Outgoing UW Student Sharing Real Campus Life

I’m a friendly and outgoing UW student who loves helping people feel at home on campus. I study Communication and Education, and I’m passionate about sharing what life at UW is actually like — from classes and dorms to the best study spots and hidden gems around Seattle.

Describe your college experience

My transition to UW had its ups and downs, but I’ve grown a lot academically and personally. I learned how to balance a busy schedule, build community in a big school, and find spaces on campus that feel like home. UW has given me stability, opportunities, and a chance to explore who I want to become.

Tip for future students

Don’t try to fit into every space — find the ones that feel right for you. UW is huge, but once you discover your people, your routines, and your favorite corners of campus, it becomes a place where you can really thrive.

Favorite class

My favorite class has been COM 220 because it pushed me to grow as a public speaker and communicator. It helped me build confidence, learn how to structure messages clearly, and express myself in a way that feels authentic.

Career goals

I hope to work in education, youth development, or communication-based roles that support students and families. I’m also exploring pathways like school psychology or working for myself.

Ideal way to spend a free night

A cozy night in with good food, a walk around campus or the Ave, or hanging out with friends somewhere low‑key.

High school or secondary school
