Answer 1 :
Unfortunately, not all of the colleges and universities in Washington have the same requirements. You might want to pick a few schools, then search their sites. More often they have requirements as well as other handy information readily available. The more known schools are the University of Washington, Washington State University, Gonzaga University, Eastern Washington University, and Central Washington University. However, there a ton more lurking around the state....

Is Washington State University a good college
Is Washington State University a good college?
I'm planning on going to college in washington, and am considering WSU. So i was wondering if it was a good college. Is it nice? Like the building and such. What is the average ethnicity and age? And the GPA? Is it a high academic achieving college? And I'll most likely major in law.

Answer 1 :
WSU does not have a law school, so if you were thinking about staying in one place to complete your law degree, WSU would not be the right place. WSU has some very strong academic programs, but is widely known as the "party school" of Washington. From someone who grew up in "cougar country" I can tell you that the majority of my friends who went there absolutely love it, but most of them are hardcore partiers. If you don't mind being in an environment where almost all students drink (at times extremely heavily- but this happens at almost all schools) then you will find lots of amazing things at WSU. If you want to get your law degree at the same school where you do your undergrad you would need to go to UW, Seattle U or Gonzaga (my personal favorite-I'm a current student). UW has a strong law school, but has a tendency NOT to admit their own undergrads to their law school (for reasons that dont really make sense to me). My sister is currently in the law school at Seattle U and absolutely loves it. From attending Gonzaga, I can tell you that there have been many powerful Gonzaga law grads (there was a GU law grad in almost every statewide political election last cycle I believe). Chris Gregoire (current governor), Mary Fairhurst (state supreme court justice), George Nethercutt (congressman) all attended Gonzaga. I would recommend one of those three schools over WSU.
Answer 2 :
They do not have a law program. I would see about the University of Washington or Gonzaga. WSU is out in the boondocks. What you can do is go to a community college take your 100-200 level courses, then transfer into a 4 year college. Seattle is much nicer than wherever that other school is. Bill Gates Sr. donated a ton of money to the law school at the UW. It has now a brand new beautiful library and classrooms. I'd go there.

Answer 1 :
Because your mother lives there, yes you can be classified as a resident, providing that she's lived there for at least the last year. Here's an excerpt Requirements for Resident Classification: Dependent students receive resident status if one or both of their parents or legal guardians maintain domicile in the state for one year prior to the term of enrollment. This regulation applies regardless of the age of the student, for domicile is determined by financial dependency, rather than by the age of majority. website with all states requirements http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/international/state

What is a good college in washington state
What is a good college in washington state?
I'm planning on going to college in washington. I've tried googeling some universities there, but I'm not having a lot of luck. It's hard to tell much by the college's website.. so I was wondering if someone could recomend some or any good college in washington. Somewhere cold, and not too big and not too small. One that's nice, nothing too shabby. With students that aren't in majority middle aged lol... Oh, and I'm studying law.

Answer 1 :
asking about good colleges in washington is like asking if you can get a good burger at mcdonalds. go to university of oregon
Answer 2 :
I would suggest Seattle Pacific or Washington State. Seattle Pacific: Total undergrads: 3,007 Seattle. Washington Washington State: Total undergrads: 20,282 Pullman, Washington 20,282 is actually about a middle sized school. I would suggest you check out the source I put down below. It will help a lot.
Answer 3 :
The University of Washington is probably the most prestigious university in the state--or at least, all their graduates will tell you so! They're pretty big, though--30,000-plus students. Anybody but a UW graduate will have to agree that Washington State is academically solid, too. They're still pretty big (I don't consider 20,000-plus students middle-sized, anyway, but I guess it's all relative!). If it's cold you want, Pullman does have that over Seattle! The second-tier state universities--Western Washington U, Eastern Washington U, Central Washington U, and the Evergreen State College are all smaller, and academically very respectable. Evergreen is especially a good choice if you're interested in nontraditional, interdisciplinary learning--no grades, no traditional departments or majors, lots of smart, creative, freaky people. There are some excellent, smaller private colleges in the state. The University of Puget Sound and Whitman College are two of the very best independent ones--they're among the best liberal arts colleges in the country. Seattle University, Gonzaga University (both of those are Catholic) and Pacific Lutheran University are good schools and wouldn't be a bad choice even if you don't follow that faith. I wouldn't recommend Seattle Pacific University, though, unless you're a fundamentalist Christian or at least comfortable in that kind of environment.
