Founded in 1861, University of Washington in Seattle is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast. I was quite impressed when I walked around the campus a year ago with my friend who was taking her PhD here.
I couldn't remember the names of the buildings I visited here--the school campus was huge! It was my first visit to an American university and it was a great experience to be in the middle of a vibrant intellectual community. I wanted to be where former students who have gone to the moon walked. Where brilliant minds mapped the human genome, broken the sound barrier, created vaccines.

One of my fave professors got her Ph.D. from the University of Washington at Seattle. So have some good thoughts about it -- even though it also produced a boss from hell! ;(
wonderful ambiance
I've been there and it's beautiful there. Great shots for school!

happy weekend.:)
I love old university buildings like these.
My PhotoHunt is here.
I always think it must be easier to learn in a beautiful environment. A wonderful place to go to school!
It certainly is an impressive place. Great take on the theme
Those are beautiful pictures of a beautiful campus (we were born and raised in Washington State). Thanks for the memories!
impressive university. a great place to inspire higher education.
Ms. Miranda, it is funny to see these photos. I have traveled all acrosas the globe, and yet have never been to Washington State. I imagine it is just a scan 1500 kilometers north of me, though I will look at a map and calculate how accurate I am. These are beautiful pictures. Seattle on a ssunny day. Splendid
Beautiful old buildings !
