Strong interdisciplinary initiatives, friendly campus
Jason H
United States,
Law, 2011
Overall
There are some enormously talented professors at the University of Washington, with 43 elected to the National Academy of Sciences just this millennium.  I had professors from around the world while at the School of Law; one who had an especially important impact of me was Joel Nguigi, now of the Supreme Court of Kenya.
I chose the University of Washington over other schools because they care about fostering a diverse community made up with a majority from historically marginalized communities.  They helped us shape our voices there, together.
Though there are inherent problems with studying law in the United States, and the administration of the law school made some poor decisions that negatively impacted the student body, it still afforded me opportunities that may not have been available elsewhere.

Careers
At the University of Washington School of Law, the career counselors are attorneys with relationships in the local, regional, and national legal communities.  They have also been inviting and responsive.
I remember an occasion of videotaping a mock interview and reviewing it together to improve my interviewing skills; it was torturous!

Pros
I love the city, larger campus, and natural world in the Pacific Northwest.
Cons
I believe there was insufficient exposure to jurisprudential theory, especially the first year.  I also believe more skills-based courses would have been helpful.  They could have helped students secure competitive intern/externships.

Personal recommendation
The university has a beautiful campus, lot sport facilities, especially the IMA. It is really difficult to have local friends, most of your friends will be other international students

Course recommendations
The first week of the quater you can change your course, don't hesitate to do it, don't keep a course that seems easy, because it will be really boring

ABOUT
The Territorial University of Washington opened November 4, 1861, in a building on a 10-acre site in a hilly wilderness, which is now the Metropolitan Tract (still owned by the UW) in downtown Seattle. By the arrival of statehood in 1889, the University was firmly established as an institution of higher education.
