喵，LZ我说不定认识你呢，就住你对面啊~~这个不是UW seattle，是UW的branch campus，相当于UT Austin和UT Dallas之间的关系。UW有三个campus，UW seattle，UW Bothell，和UW Tacoma。Tacoma是一个港口城市哟，风景好像不错的！

这个校区的建立是上世纪80年代末批的，UW Tacoma是1990年建校的，W州认为他们州内教育资源分布不平均，于是要求UW和WSU都新设立分校，来实现更大面积的覆盖。UW系列的两所分校设立的初始模式是由当地的社区大学和UW进行2+2教学，通过transfer student的形式，也就是前两年在社区大学读，后两年在UW的当地校区读。但是2006年开始，由于UW的分校的不断发展，开始进行正规的freshmen和MS招生，但是似乎还没有开设博士点。

所以说，LZ去的是UW刚刚建立的一个分校，因为UW不像UC和UT那样呈现分校系统，十所UC八所UT，UW暂时只有三所，未来还将建立一所UW North Sound。总之，LZ不用担心这是野鸡大学，这是UW的正规分校。关于当年的法案，以及wikipedia，本人贴在下面。不用担心这个会不会不如UW seattle，在美国看排名意义都不大，关键是华盛顿州是CS很好就业的地方，而且分校是新建立的，和本校的关系非常密切，还没到自立门户的程度，资源应该还比较共享的。如果你读PhD，申回去seattle肯定不难的。

Legislative Rationale for Establishing Five University Brank Campuses: UW Bothell, UW Tacoma, WSU Tri-Cities, WSU Vancouver and WSU Spokane
University of Washington Bothell
Excerpt from the Revised Code of Washington, Chapter 28B.45

28B.45.010 Legislative findings. The legislature finds that the benefits of higher education should be more widely available to the citizens of the state of Washington. The legislature also finds that a citizen's place of residence can restrict that citizen's access to educational opportunity at the upper-division level.


Because most of the state-supported baccalaureate universities are located in areas removed from major metropolitan areas, the legislature finds that many of the state's citizens, especially those citizens residing in the central Puget Sound area, the Tri-Cities, Spokane, Vancouver, and Yakima, have insufficient and inequitable access to upper-division baccalaureate and graduate education.

This lack of sufficient educational opportunities in urban areas makes it difficult or impossible for placebound individuals, who are unable to relocate, to complete a baccalaureate or graduate degree. It also exacerbates the difficulty financially needy students have in attending school, since many of those students need to work, and work is not always readily available in some communities where the baccalaureate institutions of higher education are located.

The lack of sufficient educational opportunities in metropolitan areas also affects the economy of the underserved communities. Businesses benefit from access to the research and teaching capabilities of institutions of higher education. The absence of these institutions from some of the state's major urban centers prevents beneficial interaction between businesses in these communities and the state's universities.

The Washington state master plan for higher education, adopted by the higher education coordinating board, recognizes the need to expand upper-division and graduate educational opportunities in the state's large urban centers. The board has also attempted to provide a means for helping to meet future educational demand through a system of branch campuses in the state's major urban areas.
The legislature endorses the assignment of responsibility to serve these urban centers that the board has made to various institutions of higher education. The legislature also endorses the creation of branch campuses for the University of Washington and Washington State University.

The legislature recognizes that, among their other responsibilities, the state's comprehensive community colleges share with the four-year universities and colleges the responsibility of providing the first two years of a baccalaureate education. It is the intent of the legislature that the four-year institutions and the community colleges work as cooperative partners to ensure the successful and efficient operation of the state's system of higher education. The legislature further intends that the four-year institutions work cooperatively with the community colleges to ensure that branch campuses are operated as models of a two plus two educational system.

这个是关于UW Tacoma校区的wikipedia，对于其介绍还算挺详细的。

The University of Washington Tacoma (UW Tacoma) is a four-year undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate campus in downtown Tacoma, Washington. Students can choose majors in business, education, nursing, computer science, information technology, criminal justice, social work, environmental science, urban studies and interdisciplinary arts and sciences. Classes are offered day and evening, for full- or part-time students.

UW Tacoma is one of three campuses in the University of Washington. The other campuses are in Seattle and Bothell. UW Tacoma opened in leased space in 1990, and opened its permanent campus in 1997.

HistoryFollowing the establishment of The Evergreen State College in Olympia in 1967, interest in additional higher education opportunities in the South Sound continued to grow. In 1986, the Higher Education Coordination Board suggested branch campuses for both the University of Washington and Washington State University.[1] Tacoma and Bothell were chosen as new UW campus sites, and three locations were selected for new WSU campuses: Vancouver, the Tri-Cities and Spokane. The initial goal of the new campuses was to provide further education for the growing numbers of community college transfer students, as well as "time bound, place bound" students with limited access to educational opportunities in programs with "demonstrated regional needs."[2]

The nascent University of Washington Tacoma campus opened its doors in 1990 in downtown Tacoma's historic Perkins Building. The 8 story structure was chosen in part for its capacity; during UW Tacoma's early years and construction of the permanent campus further south, enrollments comprised a maximum of approximately 401 juniors and seniors. During this time, downtown Tacoma's appearance and local reputation began to change. The decision to site the new UW campus in downtown Tacoma and not in an outlying area of the city is often cited as one of the most important factors in the city's urban renewal. The somewhat unorthodox choice to renovate some of Tacoma's oldest remaining industrial structures for campus classrooms and offices, instead of razing the buildings and erecting new ones, has since been heralded for its foresight. A former cluster of blighted, decaying buildings was given new life, and soon after businesses began opening en masse in the immediate area for the first time in decades.

The current campus celebrated its long-awaited opening on May 29, 1997. Since the opening of the first building, several others have been renovated. The campus library formerly served as the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company's transformer house. Building names such as Mattress Factory and West Coast Grocery (the latter within the Academic Building) recall the structures' earlier uses. Transportation within the downtown area was improved with the addition of Sound Transit's 1.6 mile Tacoma Link light rail line in 2003.

Following several years of transfer-only undergraduate admissions, UW Tacoma admitted its first freshman class of approximately 150 students in Autumn of 2006. UW Tacoma expects to continue to increase enrollment and add additional buildings. In March 2011, the campus opened the renovated Russell T. Joy Building, the last of the formerly blighted warehouse buildings along the campus' Pacific Avenue boundary. [3]

Tacoma School of the Arts Students also use UWT classroom space for their humanities classes. In return, the college uses their artistic resources for evening classes.
