Revision as of 19:20, 9 October 2005
This page is for general information on living as a student in the UW-CSE dept. and the Seattle area. Grad students may also be interested in the grad guide wiki (CSE NetID required).
Note that we have recommendations for various places in the Seattle area, as well as a compilation of mailing lists and so forth.
Contributions and suggestions are welcomed! Just use the "edit" link on this page.
Recommendations that don't fit in the existing categories:
- Recommended by Craig Kaplan and Andy Schwerin: FlexCar is a car sharing program that's great for occasional short trips if you don't want to own a car and rental is overkill.
Contents
Department info
- Mailing lists:
- mailman.cs: the server that runs most of our departmental email lists. Includes three directories of mailing lists: public lists, UW-restricted lists, and CSE-restricted lists.

Maps. Type in your address, or UW's (I use "15th and 40th AVE NE 98105"), and get a map.
