None. Ugh, I check my emails like 5004234723487298 times a day, which definitely doesn't help. I hope we hear soon ...

Has anyone heard anything about financial aid packages; emails or mailed documents/letters?

I was wondering because I believe I can now accept or decline on my application portal. (But I also don't know if I want to accept prior to knowing what my aid package would look like.)

Hi. I was also offered admission on 2/14 but have not received anything about financial aid. I can also now accept/decline in the portal but I am waiting to hear about funding first. I will probably call the financial aid office if I don't receive anything this week. 

[moo!]

I was really hoping they'd push out another round of decisions this past Friday, but I guess not! Fingers crossed for this Friday...

Same!! I just hope they aren't actually waiting until the mid/end of March date they gave.

Hey all,

I did my undergrad at UW and currently work at UW Medicine. I got accepted into UW's MSW and was able to talk to some people I know/work with about the program in a lot of depth. If anyone is thinking about moving to the area and has questions, I could probably help out!

Hello! Thank you for offering your help to those of us that would be moving to Seattle! 
 

I plan to not bring my vehicle to Seattle and will instead use public transportation. What are some areas to look into for housing that wouldn’t be too long of a commute? 
 

As someone moving from a warm climate, what are some things to look for when renting?

Hi I would also like to know more about Seattle (I’ve never been) and I currently live in Florida where it’s always warm.

UW students get a UPass which covers all public transportation for "free" (it's covered in your tuition/fees), so using public transport is smart. Unfortunately my answer for areas to look for housing are honestly as vague as "whatever you can find that doesn't cost a ton" because cost of living is... very high. Wallingford maybe? That's super close by.

As far as coming from a warm climate, you may want to consider places that are close by to bus stops because you'll be using transport and don't want to walk too much in the rain/cold. Nobody uses umbrellas here, walking through the rain is just part of life!

You can private message me if you want to have a longer conversation!

Ha I just told the person above that if your concern is climate, you may want to look for places to live that are relatively close by to bus stops because that way you can avoid walking through the rain. If you want to have a longer conversation you can PM me.
