hear you go to the Uni- versity of Washington. What’s it like there?” “Well, it’s the only public four-year university in the Seattle area, so it’s a big school. It’s the 17th lar- gest four-year college in the nation; 34,000 students go there.” “The campus must be huge, then.” Absolutely, all 694 acres. And beautiful, too. Author Lisa Birnbach called it the most gorgeous commuter campus in the na- tion. We've got the Cascade range to the west, the Olym- pics and Lake Washington on the east, and Mount Rai- nier to the south.

I've heard about the strong foot- ball program there. ” “Yeah, you'll find that some of the best college football games take place in Musky Stadium on a Satur- day afternoon.
