I was doing some reading about the University of Washington and I came across 'UDub.' What does this mean? Is it a nickname for the university or does it refer to something specific on campus?
Yes, 'UDub' is indeed a nickname for the University of Washington, or UW. The 'U' stands for 'University,' and 'Dub' comes from 'W,' the initial of 'Washington.' This term is commonly used by students, faculty, and alumni when referring to the university in casual conversation or in social media. It does not refer to something specific on the campus. The nickname embraces the informal and friendly culture of the university community. So, if you hear or see 'UDub,' know they're talking about the University of Washington!
