University of Washington
John Niles

The University of Washington offers the perfect location for North Carolina students who want to get as far away from home for college as they can. A relatively large school, Washington offers 117 majors, ranging  from aeronautics to zoology.  Because of Washington’s tremendous size, the school does have the drawback that teachers' assistants teach 17% of the classes at the University.  As TA's generally teach younger students, usually in entry-level courses, this means that incoming freshmen who do not place out of entry-level courses are exceptionally likely to take classes taught by people other than professors.  The University accepts AP test scores of 2 or higher for college credit, so a large number of students who have taken AP classes in high school do place out of these courses.  As member of the Pac-10 Athletics Conference, the University of Washington competes at the NCAA Division I level in athletic competitions.
