      @@shellyhoyle4401 well, it really is a long story. Unfortunately City Council is truly guilty w/their involvements and greed. It's a theatrical stage for them. Their main target is everyone, including their own group (rat race). Depending on what initiative they want to pass mostly depends on who they'll target as a victim and others as predators. My story is posted on my page. I have found relief getting out of WA but damage has taken major effects as the mind control/programming is still in effect.

    Thank you so much for this video. I live on the East coast, and the University of Washington is the only school on the West coast I am actually interested in going to. Because I cannot visit the school considering it is so far away, it is videos like these that will help me to make my final decision in the future.

      Emily C I'm glad to hear that you are considering UW as an east coaster! There are so many fun things to do in Seattle especially if you are an outdoors person. Amazing hiking, skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and so much more. Also the IMA is one of the most incredible gyms I have ever seen! Pick up basketball, volleyball, ping pong, badminton, and so much more on a regular basis. Also the live music scene is incredible. So many great bands have come out of seattle.

    The people in Seattle sound exactly like me: non-confrontational and does not socialize a lot. On top of that, I'm Asian and I like cloudy days... University of Washington is sounding pretty good right now, except the out-of-state tuition cost ;-; I'm considering taking a gap year and waiting for the coronavirus pandemic to blow over while trying to become a resident of Washington--there's about a $27,000 difference between the resident and non-resident total estimated cost.

    • @ericaslitytchannel9217
      @ericaslitytchannel9217 3 года назад +4

      dude, I'm a Seattlite raised here since I was 8. The ppl here are pretty passive aggressive (especially the richer, whiter neighborhoods), which I suppose is non-confrontational, but you'd be a bit hard pressed for diversity of thought as many people go with what other people say rather than doing their own research. The arts are lowkey dying bc of Corona, but we have so many lovely little venues everywhere and different neighborhood vibes depending on what your personality is. Along with music, we also have lots of theatre and interesting food. The U district (surrounding the campus) has tons of awesome hole-in-the-wall places and thrift options for students on a budget. And during the spring and summer, Greenlake is only a 15 min bus ride away for tons of water activities and park spaces. If you are non-confrontational but pretty easy going, i would checkout downtown ballard. it's got a really relaxed vibe and has lots of small businesses and fun shops for any possible interests you may have. The one thing that a lot of people don't get about seattle tho is we do have a lot of homeless people on the streets, so sometimes that will dictate whether I take a late shift at my job or not.
      Hope that helps!

    I am not sure how I wandered into this, but I think that the statement "people in Seattle don't socialize" needs to be qualified a little. I am not from Seattle and I am a grad student at UW. Although I found it a bit different than what I am used to, I think that my experience has been completely different. I have been open to doing different things-not saying you have not-and in doing so I have made a lot of friends and had some incredible times in Seattle so far. People told me about the "Seattle Freeze" when I came here and have always been shocked when I tell them that I am going out to kick it with people that I met a few weekends ago. I have done some seriously cool s**t with some seriously cool people here.
    I am just saying that my experience is altogether different.

I'm local so it seems like the perfect school for me but my SAT scores were pretty low, though my grades are decent.

    • @mynametrong5508
      @mynametrong5508  7 лет назад +2

      It's not too hard to get in I would say (unless you compare it to only other Washington schools). SAT scores are 1/3 of the evaluation while grades are 2/3 so having better grades is more important. The art program is also less competitive, yes. The stem majors are where most of the competition is.

      Yeah lol, I’m a freshman and I’m somehow already obsessing over universities. I guess they’re just fun to browse over.

    Hey, man) Just don't want to be annoying... However, is it possible to communicate with you personally, through skype or facetime?

    I donot think UW is diversity ...it is mainly full of Asian specially international students from China due their $$$$$.It is hard for local students to get into UW nowadays..

      I think that's a bit unfound, considering literally every person I've met so far is from UW except ONE person who is from california like me, and I've already been to orientation
