University of Washington Tacoma - (Tacoma WA)

5 /5 G Aquino: Were not students or alumni. We chanced upon this campus during a recent trip to Tacoma and decided to check it out. Its compact, walkable, and mostly quiet since school was out during our visit.

5 /5 Green Deathray: The campus is very urban and located right in downtown Tacoma, yet the center of campus feels like a quiet park. Its right across the street from famous museums and the water front. Theres also convenient transportation, with frequent buses and the light rail running nearby. Although it is sometimes considered a second rate school compared to UW in Seattle, the Tacoma campus offers some unique opportunities and support that cannot be so easily found in Seattle, including an amazing program for aspiring documentary filmmakers. All of the faculty Ive interacted with have been kind and generous with their time and knowledge.

5 /5 Danny Tram: As a University of Washington Bothell student, the UWT campus is a mixture of modern and historical architecture. Some UWT buildings were built on old, historical, and ancient warehouses/factories. More interesting, the Washington State history museum and courthouse are located nearby. What a wonderful and green campus!!!

4 /5 F A: I’m not a student, so I can’t speak much about UW Tacoma. The campus is aesthetically pleasing and walkable if you’re looking for an urban spot to visit in the downtown area. Buses and light rail service are right off-campus. I was disappointed that they replaced a mural that had twulshootseed text on it. Lovely campus overall.

5 /5 Kristen East: UW Tacoma has played an important role in revitalizing Tacomas downtown core. Fresh landscaping brightens the streets and discourages littering. The influx of young professionals helps support new businesses and a lively bar scene. Perhaps most important to me as a local is the way that UW Tacoma has preserved historical buildings, repurposing them for use as classrooms, research labs, and mixed-use facilities that house shops, restaurants, community services, and housing alongside university amenities.
