At University of Washington - Bothell Campus

I got to know about the University of Washington - Bothell Campus through a friend whose sibling pursued her undergraduate studies here. After doing thorough research I decided to apply. I had paid an application fee of $60. Having scored a good percentage in my high school (science stream) helped during the admission process, which was completely done through the online portal.

The course of computer engineering has a combination of both hardware as well as software studies of the computer system so that we get the knowledge required to become skilled in both the domains. Topics like object-oriented programming, algorithms, data structures, technical communication, etc are being covered.

I was always curious about the coding as well as knowing the internal parts of a computer of any system and that being the reason, I wanted to pursue computer science engineering. I had submitted my application along with my official high school marks transcripts, IELTS score of 7 as proof of English proficiency, and the SAT scores of 1175.

Our college has a career service center that helps us in exploring our career interest, build an effective job search skill and also help us connect with the employment community. Companies like Amazon, Google, Tesla, Expedia, King County, etc recruit at our campus.

Various academic, as well as non-academic, sports and fun related events, are organized by the college for us throughout the year. Events like career fairs, job and internship fairs, sports competitions, etc are organized.

The tuition that I pay is $12,500 along with various other fees like student technology fees, sports and recreation complex fees and service and activity fees and an international student fee of $45. Various scholarships and financial aid were available for us. I had applied for merit-based scholarship during the time of admission.

All my professors hold a minimum of a master's degree. They also have much-renowned paperwork published on their names. My professors are highly skilled and are very passionate about the subject they teach.

I stay in the housing facility provided by the university for which I pay $11,000 as room and board charges. My other living expenses are $4000 that cover the transportation cost and books and supplies cost me $800 for a year.
