I attended the University of Washington for my Bachelors in Biochemistry and Physics and absolutely loved it there! I would highly recommend it to anybody. Although the class sizes were rather large the professors and TA's in my experience had been very helpfully and friendly if you talked to them during office hours for extra help.


I also attended Baylor University to get my Physics master before heading off to Medical school. I would also recommend this school even thought it is much pricier then state schools. I was very nervous about going to a private school for the first but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. Not only are the faculty and staff very friendly but so are the students (minus 1 or 2 rotten eggs). I taught a few tutorial classes and sat in on a few class lectures. Most of the class sizes are fairly small which is wonderful as your professor actually learns your name! The only classes that tend to be over flowing are stuff like the Pre-Med prerequisite courses. Those classes can have more then 200 in them.


Anyways, Best of luck on deciding and I am sure you will find the right fit for you!
