What were the teachers like? What courses would you recommend (or not) for future exchange students? The relationship between teachers and students. The academic level and quality of your courses. Access to computers. Examinations. Studietempot på UW är betydligt mer intensivare i jämförelse med Uppsala och jag upplevde även att de seminarieliknande föreläsningarna (som ofta förekommer på Graduate-nivå) skapar en helt ny dynamik mellan elever och lärare, där varje student får ett nära förhållande till sina kursansvariga föreläsare på ett tidigt stadium. Ytterligare en fördel som kan vara värd att nämna utgörs av det faktum att många lärare är practitioners och därför kan komplettera sina akademiska kunskaper med konkreta yrkeserfarenheter. Flera av mina lärare hade tidigare arbetat som säkerhetsrådgivare till Vita Huset, chefsförhandlare gentemot Nordkorea, akutkirurger i Nepal samt federala domare runt om i landet. Till detta hör även att nästan samtliga professorer hade undervisat vid allt i från landets mest prestigefyllda Ivy League Universitet till hårt ansatta kommunala skolor i södra Bronx. Detta medförde en klar skillnad i pedagogiska färdigheter hos föreläsarna och kunskapsambitioner hos studenterna, som jag inte upplevt vid något annat lärosäte. Samtliga kurser jag läste höll en god nivå och krävde ett aktivt deltagande vid varje undervisningstillfälle, i både muntlig och skriftlig form. Orientation and reception 13. Write one or more paragraphs describing the following: How you were welcomed as an exchange student. Orientation, information, activities. Vid min ankomst till Seattle så mottogs jag av universitetets välkomstorganisation för internationella studenter, FIUTS. De anordnar otaliga träffar, fester och aktiviteter under varje termin och fungerar därmed som ett smidigt forum för att snabbt bygga ett nätverk på plats och skaffa nya kamrater. Jag hade stor Vetenskapsområdet för medicin och farmaci, Uppsala universitet Sida 173 av 957

nytta av denna organisation då man även kan få hjälp med bostad, värdfamilj samt studieintyg genom dess vänliga och ofta kunniga personal. Enligt mitt tycke så bygger dock mycket av studieupplevelsen på att inte fastna i utbytesbubblan allt för mycket och jag rekommenderar därför att man initialt använder sig av FIUTS för att komma in i Seattle-tempot men att man senare tvingar sig själv att testa sina sociala vingar ute på campus. Accommodation 14. Write one or more paragraphs describing your accommodation. What type of accommodation did you have, where you satisfied? Do you have any tips for future students? UW kan i somliga fall ordna bostad under en kortare tid i Seattle. Dock så upplevde jag (tillsammans med många andra utbyteskollegor) att detta var det mest stressande/ödesmättade momentet under hela året, då hyrorna är höga och kvaliteten varierande. Åker du på en dålig bostad i stans U-District så kan du räkna med fuktiga väggar, ölbongande grannar och gipsdamm i taket under 9 månader. Det finns många bra deals via craigslist mm men även här finns det anledning att vara ytterst vaksam. I många fall så kan en bra lösning vara att flytta in i någon av de många gemensamma studentbostäder kring Capitol Hill eller Ravenna, där 3-6 personer delar på en villa. Your finances 15. Write one or more paragraphs describing the cost of living. Did you find CSN adequate? How was the rent in comparison to your rent in Uppsala? Did you undertake part-time work in addition to your studies? Enligt mitt tycke så räckte CSN pengarna gott och väl till mat, husrum och övriga levnadskostnader. Bostadshyrorna i Seattle är relativt höga men maten är både billig och prisvärd. Som student betalar man en engångsavgift på 75 dollar varje termin för att få tillgång till ett U-pass (busskort, bibliotekskort och gymkort). Free time 16. What did you do in your free time? Did the university arrange any special activities? Where there any activities specifically for exchange students? Were you happy with what was on offer? UW erbjuder en mängd olika aktiviteter varje vecka som kan vara värda att hålla utkik efter som student. Dock är det upp till dig själv om du håller dig framme tillräckligt ofta för att ta dom. Blyghet och ställa sig sist i kön-mentalitet är inget som fungerar i denna kontext. I mitt fall så missade jag allting första terminen och spenderade istället mycket tid i biblioteket eller på gymmet. När jag sedan insåg att det gäller att faktiskt läsa de otaliga och stundtals spam-artade mailtrådar som skickas ut från institutionerna varje vecka eller post it lapparna på kaféerna längs the ave så fann jag mig snart sysselsatt under dygnets alla timmar. Under sista terminen föreläste jag om mitt forskningsområde under ett Cambridge University Press seminarium, tog ledarskapskurser av U.S. Marine Corps, åt middag med USA:s tidigare Moskvaambassadör samt Taiwans f.d. Vice-president och deltog som panelist vid ett internationellt forum kring Human Trafficking. Som student vid UW har man en helt annan akademisk räckvidd än i Sverige och den som är sugen bör givetvis satsa allt på ett kort under sin utbytestermin och ta vara på denna möjlighet genom att delta i seminarium, kvällsföreläsningar och extra-aktiviteter (all missad sömn kan tas igen på planet hem istället).

Your exchange on a whole 17. Please sum up your exchange experience. If you have any other tips for future exchange students, or any other comments feel free to include them here. Mitt utbytessår vid University of Washington har varit en omvälvande, kunskapsspäckad och alltigenom fantastisk upplevelse. Trots att jag pluggat hårt under mina tidigare studier i Uppsala så har jag förmodligen absorberat mer kunskap och färdigheter under denna utbytestid än någonsin tidigare. När jag sökte Internationella Kansliets utbytesstipendium så hade jag ingen aning om varför jag ville plugga i USA, nu efteråt så kan jag konstatera att det var det en helt avgörande milstolpe för mitt framtida yrkesliv. UW erbjuder livslånga kontakter och inspirerande mentorer tillsammans med en akademisk miljö som är av absolut världsklass. Evans School of Public Affairs, UW Public Health Department samt The Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies rankas ofta som top tio inom sina respektive ämnesområden. Missa inte chansen!!

What were the teachers like? What courses would you recommend (or not) for future exchange students? The relationship between teachers and students. The academic level and quality of your courses. Access to computers. Examinations. I experienced a significant difference in my contact with professors, library, computers etc. at my stay. The Professors where much more engage with the students and they feel more serious and professional. My level of courses was graduate and postgraduate (doctoral) classes, and I would definitely recommend that for students that has academic experience. If not, undergrad classes might be the best. Regarding the academic level, coming from political science department in Uppsala, I felt that the level where equal in many ways but the pace where much faster and you where required to write much more than in Uppsala. My overall experience at University of Washington was that it was much more easy to access library with top services for students within their academic discipline, and that the professors where much more approachable. Orientation and reception 13. Write one or more paragraphs describing the following: How you were welcomed as an exchange student. Orientation, information, activities. Very good. UW has a international student organization called FIUTS which held orientations, meetings etc. But even at the University it was easy to approach other students and faculty and get help around.

Accommodation 14. Write one or more paragraphs describing your accommodation. What type of accommodation did you have, where you satisfied? Do you have any tips for future students? I lived outside the campus in a rental apartment. Compare to Uppsala finding accommodation is very easy. Craiglist and the Universities homepage would be the best places look for apartments. Your finances 15. Write one or more paragraphs describing the cost of living. Did you find CSN adequate? How was the rent in comparison to your rent in Uppsala? Did you undertake part-time work in addition to your studies? I found CSN really adequate. It fully covered the rental, food and living cost. Even if the rent is higher in the states, the food, clothes and living cost are general lover than in Sweden. Free time 16. What did you do in your free time? Did the university arrange any special activities? Where there any activities specifically for exchange students? Were you happy with what was on offer? The University and the FIUTS foundation for International students had weekly arrangements for exhange and International students. It could be anything from wisiting the nearby areas to cooking classes or weekend trips. The university hold many seminars and official lectures in a wide range of subjects. I was very pleased with the offers at UW. Your exchange on a whole 17. Please sum up your exchange experience. If you have any other tips for future exchange students, or any other comments feel free to include them here. I had great experience at University of Washington. The classes I took, the professors I meet and my fellow students not only improved my academic skills, but also gave me a contact net that feel privileged. Having been able to study at a top university was really a fantastic experience, something that is even hard to describe. I would definitely recommend future students to take some time surveying the University s departments and the offered classes beforehand to enjoy the max of the stay. Approval 18.
