I could already speak the language before getting there and didn't really improve much. But could see that other students did learn and by the time they left their language skills have improved.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Since i already know people i find no reason to live in the dorms, an apartment gives you much more freedom and costs much less. If i'd do it again, however, i'd live in the dorms for a while in order to meet people.

Personal comments
The dorms are great, and there are a variety of options, MCarty and McMahon are probably the best choices but any of them is good.

Personal comments
C'mon its downtown Seattle! Bell- Town is the place to be and the U-district, whatever is open on the Ave after 10. Bellevue, 20 minutes away is a great spot for shopping and a change from Seattle.
