Hey everyone! It seems like I will be attending UW this coming fall! I just wanted to know all of your opinions on UW- everything from student life and feel to academics.
I'm asking because while I know the academics are research for students are amazing (as well as the campus), I have read several concerning comments about the struggles pre-med students encounter there. Some such comments have been lack of pre-health advising, professors more focused on research, overly competitive students (to the point of students stealing work from each other!) and an academic rigor that's overwhelming for many students. These comments scare me, and I want to know if this really is the best choice for pre-meds. Can anyone verify?
And yes, please all tell of your personal experiences there, as well as what you like most and dislike
Thanks so much!
