The University of Washington, Experience the Magic of Academia

Seattle, WA, United States

A very good university campus

4.5

Introduction

Located near Portage Bay and Union Bay, the University of Washington has a prime location just a 15-minute drive from downtown. The towering totem pole at the main entrance is a symbol of the Northwest Native Americans and is one of the university's defining features. The buildings on campus are diverse in style, ranging from Gothic spires to Baroque ornaments, all with a classical atmosphere. Spring is the best time to visit the University of Washington, as a whole road is lined with cherry blossoms leading to the central Dillenberger fountain. Visitors do not need to register to visit the reading room at Suzzallo Library, which resembles scenes from Hogwarts in Harry Potter in its academic atmosphere.
