As far as experience goes, don’t accidentally down shift three gears while going up old vantage highway or your engine will blow into small pieces. Other than that I’d keep a 20 around for fuel or other small emergencies and I always leave the house with a liter of water just in case you have to walk somewhere to find cell service. I take a lot of dirt roads and drive slow and careful but tire blowouts do happen around here especially with all the potholes, make sure you have a little jack and stand as well as a tire iron and a spare tire. Personally I carry a tourniquet and Quik clot but unless you know how to use those things I’d just get a small first aid kit (which I also have they are never bad to have around). I’m not sure where you’re planning on going but it’s fairly hard to be somewhere in this state and go days without seeing another human, worst comes to worse just make sure you’re letting other people know where you are going before you leave and if a major emergency happens stay where you are and wait for people to come to you.

UW is the better school for almost very major, but definitely for engineering. I think WSU might have better agricultural and veterinary programs. Keep in mind though that UW EE has a very low acceptance rate, so if you don’t get in direct admit, you might need a backup major. I want to say it’s under 10% but I haven’t checked since my friends were trying to get into majors ~4 years ago.
