I graduated from the University of Washington before they stopped honoring the "direct transfer agreement" that community college students once enjoyed. There was a time when community college students could expect entrance to the UW merely by having an AA degree and a gpa of 2.75! Now that this is no longer the case, I look a lot smarter, and so do many alumni. It's unfortunate, because many 100 level courses have that "I'm in a herd of cattle" feel to them, due to class sizes. It's often better to take lower level classes at a community college. But in addition to tightening admission standards and rapidly raising a respectable endowment, the UW has dramatically improved its facilities. In a few years, it's not going to be "our little secret (that it's a great school)" any longer!

I went to the University of Washington for two years and recommend anyone who is deciding where to go for their secondary education to check it out. The academic curriculum is consistently ranked among the top in the country, and our med school is world reknowned. The campus is beautiful and amid an upscale urban setting. The diversity of the students is amazing and is a great chance to meet people from all walks of life. I could go on for pages, I think it best you check it out for yourself.

Most everyone we've met is very polite, friendly & helpful. The counselor we were assigned has been fantastic and the financial aid department was very knowledgeable and helped us get what we needed to put it all together. So far the teachers seem good!
Pros: Easy on the bus route. The teachers are still working in their fields!
Cons: Downtown Seattle

South Seattle Community College is a good local community college. They offer several types and variety of classes and programs, including 1 and 2 year certificates, 2 year degrees, worker retraining, and adult enrichment. They also offer running start and high school completion/GED. In addition, they have a great distance learning/online program! They offer several different classes via distance learning (computer) and most of them help fulfill an Associates Degree. These classes are perfect for stay home parents, those who work odd hours, etc. The teaching staff is wonderful and caring, the librarians are helpful and friendly, but the office staff leaves a bit to be desired in lack of proper attitude and very discourteous. I was especially disappointed in the financial aid office staff, as they were abbrasive and quite patronizing/condescending. If you can get past the office staff and their poor attitudes, it is an overall great school.

I forsook my junior and senior years in high school to attend Shoreline Community College and found it to be a great school. My professors were all great ( with only one exception), and the advisors were better than the ones I had at UW. The course selection is excellent for those who want to transfer to a four year school, and for those who don't there are many fine certification programs to choose from. The campus is also very pleasant and conveniently located in north seattle.

The Seattle Pacific University Website www.spu.edu has a classfied section. Click on childcare and you will find GREAT postings of babysitter/nannys that are available right now. You can also create a 'wanted' post with your EXACT (dates, times, children's ages, etc.) needs and you will get responses from college age sitters. I posted an ad and got many responses from great sitters as well as other parents about nanny-share opporunities. I would recommend settting up a new free (yahoo or hotmail) email account when posting an ad like this.

While helping a friend, I realized that it's really easy to finish your degree with on-line, distance learning classes at Seattle Community College. They are affordable - about $350 per class - so it's a great way to get the credit you need to finish your degree. Correspondence classes mean you don't even ever have to go to campus.

This is where I am going to get my degree. I really am glad I decided to go here because the instructors are so nice and because the schedule is so flexible. I work full time and I have been able to get my degree by going to night classes. My boss has helped a little with letting me leave early some days, but still, the school offers a lot of late night classes. The only downfall to this school is that you have to do a lot on your own. If you do not ask, they will not tell you (for instance: graduation information, financial aid, etc).
