What Our Students Say

UW Bothell has changed and challenged me to grow as a person over the past three years. I've developed leadership skills I don't think I could have established anywhere else. I'm happy I am a part of a campus that allows me to grow and share my ideas and most importantly, that I have professors and staff who support me as if they were my own family.Edwina Fui, Junior, Global Studies
