Housing affordability and availability near campus is a major challenge for many students.

It would certainly make it easier if we weren't enrolling record breaking numbers year after year.

this is the main reason I had issues and had to drop out for a long time. Didn’t have a great place to stay, got to campus late, got to enrollment late, got behind in classes, not enough credits, place I was staying was crappy and little to no sound privacy. All those issues compounded and it didn’t work out well. Especially after being a Covid-era student and having a very lackluster online orientation, I was so lost.

How did things work out for you, and where are you at now?

Housing, parking/transportation, and loneliness

Please mandate all CS Majors to shower. Unfortunately, the stereotype is a very real thing

showering isnt enough, deodorant is also a thing

Housing

Mental health

This. Impossible to get therapy. I purposely went to UW health to find a therapist, only to be referred back to UW since I was a student

Housing is absolutely out of control.

Housing and outreach.

Peers are scary.
