[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to UW for graduate school. It's beautiful and full of smart people, but the U-District is (or was many years ago) kind of seedy. The weather was difficult if you like warmth and sunshine, and Seattle natives were/are very reserved. It's a very large school. [b]Without a built-in support system or a lot of personal maturity and independence, it might be a difficult place for an eighteen year old. [/b] [/quote] How is this any different from any Big 12 flagship school? It's rare that a state flagship is as small as UVA. Most don't have built-in support systems. Does UW not have much of a student org/social scene? Is it more of a commuter school?[/quote] No, not at all, but it’s very in state focused and most people have some connections before they get there - friends from high school, hometowns, etc. People tend to stay in Seattle and it’s an insular community.
