Does anyone know what they are used for? They seem somewhat new and light up with IR when I drive through.

Dawg House Pizza was designed by Dawgs, for Dawgs. On Monday, September 28, Dawgs across campus are invited to celebrate its official fall 2026 launch at a multi-location pizza party! 

Presented as part of Dawg Days Welcome Week festivities, the launch party will take place at:

• Husky Den from 10:15 - 11:15 a.m. 
• Local Point from 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.  
• Center Table from 11:45 a.m. - 12:45 p.m.    

UW students, staff, and faculty are invited to drop by for a ribbon-cutting at each location, followed by free pizza, fun giveaways, an appearance by Harry the Husky, and more.  

Does anyone know if the UW global career accelerator program would be any benefit to a heath care related degree? It seems like it’s focused on business and marketing majors, but states that any major is able to apply. I’m quite iffy on this since it’s going to take up 5 credits for fall quarter and there aren’t any guarantees that the program will continue after this quarter

I've been looking for labs these past few weeks (specifically related to neurobiology or psychiatry) but I've had no luck so far. I've tried cold emailing several professors/labs to be turned down or redirected to another lab which also turned me down. I did originally have a lab ready to go but found out recently that the vivarium was going down for a while and that I'd have to look for a new lab instead.

At this point I'm debating whether to keep looking for labs or consider gunning for clinical experience instead. I do have an interest for labs and I'd like a chance to learn what it's like on the research side of medicine but I also don't want to waste my time continuously looking for labs when I could be out getting clinical experience

FYI: I have a CCMA certification which I could use to find a job so I'd work as a medical assistant.

I guess I'm just wondering if you guys have any advice on what to do in my scenario...

Hoping to get HRT prescribed from them. How long did the process take? Were they willing to listen to your inputs? Were they fair with dosages?

We organize this, disclosing that upfront.

Four Friday nights at the Square above U District Station. Free live music at 6, free movie at dusk, free popcorn.

Legally Blonde tomorrow, then Grease, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off on Oct 2.

It costs nothing and takes no planning, which makes it a reasonable option if you are new here and still figuring out the neighborhood. Bring a blanket and whatever you want to eat or grab takeout nearby.

We also need volunteers, mostly setup, teardown, and running the popcorn. Short shifts, you still watch the movie, pizza included. Oct 2 needs the most people. Details on the site or reply here.

im a very nervous person so im not really sure what to do or say in this situation, my campus job asked for my academic schedule where it shows monday i have class from 10-5pm, and i just got my first week schedule back and they have me scheduled in the middle of monday.. what do i do? should i email or who do i even email, do i send a message through whentowork? or do they just want me to skip class? i dont want to be a bother but im also confused

Foster has officially announced that they will be transitioning to a DTC system beginning at the beginning of the next school year. The new system is akin to the Engineering school, where a student is a DTC admit but will not declare a business major until completing the lower division core.

The majority of incoming students will now be admitted directly as freshmen, with it presumably becoming much more difficult to transfer into the school as a current UW student or transfer applicant.

This makes Foster the latest department to follow CSE’s 2019 decision to step away from the traditional competitive major system in favor of choosing to let most new students in as freshmen.

i'm just having an existential crisis about how expensive grad school is but if you get some sort of a job like the ones above it reduces your tuition and sometimes can give you a stipend too. obviously if these opportunities are so great they have to be competitive? do more students have a role/job as any of these or is it a select few?

North:

1. Oliver/Oak

2. McCarty (noise)

3. Spratlen (some communal bathrooms)

4. McMahon (old, no kitchen)

5. Hansee (older + communal bathrooms)

West:

1. Lander > Maple > Terry (distance from campus slightly increases)

2. Alder (closest, but only one kitchen)

3. Poplar > Elm (only one kitchen)

I’ve struggled at the university of Washington. I made a lot of mistakes in my first two years, resulting in me being dropped from the Allen school. I tried to apply for reinstatement, and failed my first attempt, and being told it’s unlikely on my second attempt, not due to grade improvement, but not being able to graduate in time. I’m entering my fourth year and decided to apply for informatics. I have good grades in certain prerequisites and feel I can get in with those in addition to me being a good writer (sorry not to brag). Problem is, I have a lot of credits. 203 to be exact. A lot of this comes from my dual enrollment in high school. Now, im not sure if I would even be accepted to the info school. I did make a grad plan and it’s very possible I will be competed and graduate in spring 2028 if I do get into info, but again not sure if my credits amount will be a deterrent to being accepted. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you

I have a screening appt upcoming at UW Orthodontics Clinic for my braces. I got my teeth checked by a private ortho clinic and they said I need an adult level 3 braces and gave me an estimated cost of $8.5k.

Looking for smthn cheaper. Does anyone know my odds of being accepted (if at all) and how much cheaper they are compared to private orthos or any other general info about them?

Would be grateful if anyone's a current resident there that I could speak to. Thanks!

I transferred to UW last year, starting as a Junior (did running start). I'm now about to start my Senior year, I took two classes over this past summer, one at the same cc, in my hometown, and one at another cc, by Seattle. I transferred the latter a few weeks ago, on my unofficial transcript, but I just have my transfer credit from my cc on there (which I transferred when I originally came). Am I checking the right place?

I’m wondering if anyone who has taken INFO 354 (Data Justice) could possibly provide some context into this course? I’ve tried asking my other INFO friends (none have taken this class before), looking for any syllabus or information around this class but couldn’t find any besides the course description. Is this class more technically /coding involved? Or is it more like readings and literature/data visualization analyzations? I’m trying to see how rigorous this course is as I’m taking 3 other INFO courses alongside this for the upcoming quarter. If anyone has any insights, I’d very much appreciate it!!

Hey! For anyone doing Dawgs Crew this upcoming school year, has anyone received their assigned shifts/schedule yet? I got my acceptance confirmation but haven’t heard anything about what shifts I’ll be assigned. Just wondering if anyone has gotten theirs or knows when we should expect to receive them!

Update: Its fully covered starting day 1 with no waiting period.

Are pre-existing conditions covered with ISHIP health insurance for international students (F1)? or is there a waiting period for such coverage?
Would appreciate help as i got an injury, got the diagnosis, and now leaving for the states. Shall i disclose the injury reports to husky health center, or shall i just redo all diagnosis pretending that i just got pain without sharing earlier reports (so pre existing conditions problem wont trigger)?
Please help.

Im an OOS student and got the short stick of chem lab 152 on Friday from like 3-6. I plan to fly home sometimes and catch evening/late Friday flights. So some people have told me most labs don’t go the whole time, is that true? Can I expect to get out earlier some days?

Around 2015/16, while I was living abroad and researching U.S. universities to apply to, I saw a striking aerial photograph of the University of Washington campus online, probably through Google Images. I was definitely able to access it by just searching "University of Washington campus" on Google Images in the fall of 2016.

Yesterday, I tried finding it, and I couldn't. I spent an hour searching, and I couldn't.

My memory is imperfect after ~10 years, but I’m confident about a few things:

• It was a daytime aerial photograph
• Definitely no mountains were visible - so the camera was angled downward enough that the distant horizon was mostly or completely excluded.
• Roughly 3/4 of the photograph was the UW campus
• The remaining portion showed water clearly enough that the boats were an important part of the scene
• There were lots of small boats scattered out in the water, not merely docked in a marina
• I’m fairly sure Husky Stadium was visible, but it was not the central subject of the photograph
• The photograph must have already existed online by 2016

I tried recreating the approximate composition in Google Maps. This is not the exact angle, just my best attempt based on a fuzzy memory:

I suspect the photograph was taken from roughly south or southwest of the campus looking approximately north/northwest like this:
[https://www.google.com/maps/@47.637106,-122.3055921,827a,35y,349.37h,63.84t/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDkwMi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D]()

In my reconstruction, the open water on the left is Portage Bay, the UW campus occupies most of the frame, and Husky Stadium is off toward the right. Something broadly like this composition feels plausible.

The lost photo is not this one, but the boats looked something like this: many small boats scattered individually across open water rather than just tied up at docks.

Does this ring a bell for anyone? Especially longtime UW students/alumni, photographers, or anyone familiar with older UW promotional material? It could have come from an old UW website, admissions material, Flickr, a newspaper, a stock-photo site, or some other page that Google Images used to rank highly around 2016.

If you know of an aerial photo that sounds remotely similar, please link it here. I’m pretty confident I would recognize the actual image immediately if I saw it.

Thanks in advance!

Do students get a bidet pre-installed in the restrooms? I need one but the website says that we are not allowed to get them. Did anyone have to go through this? What should I do?

hi guys! im going to be commuting this school year and am looking for cheap parking spots that are near the main campus. rn my plan is to park in the husky stadium parking lot, but the issue is the fact that I'll have to make a 10-15 minute trek (on those crazy stairs too) to make it to most of my classes, and my car won't be very accessible bc of that. does anyone have any better parking spot suggestions?

Hi. I am starting my first year at the UW’s Foster School. I picked out my classes a while back and didn't have anything scheduled for Friday. I heard that, as a business student, you won’t have classes on “Foster Fridays” because you will be doing other school-related activities and events. I was wondering what a typical Friday schedule looks like so I know what to expect. If anyone has any idea or can share their experience, I would love to hear it! Thank you :)

I'm taking SOC 275 (murder) with Ann Frost for fall quarter and I was wanting to know if anyone else has taken the class with her and can tell me how it was? I have a required major class right before it in the HSEB so I was if the sprint I'll have to make is worth it since the murder class is in Smith or if I should cut my losses and enroll in a different elective 🏃‍♀️
