So Im having trouble deciding if i want to go to a big university vs a small one? And also what is it like to go to a school that is a commuter school for many? Im looking at UDub right now and i like it but it is one of the biggest schools and largely a commuter school? Id love any input. Thank you
Do a search on CC. There are lots of threads here on LACs vs. Unis.

60% live in campus housing as freshmen. Not a commuter school. http://opb.washington.edu/content/common-data-set

UW housing website says 7,351 students live in UW Seattle-campus housing, including 3,955 (66.5%) freshmen. That’s practically a small town of 18-22 year olds. Aside from the students who are fortunate enough to live within a half hour of campus, most of the “commuters” walk, skate or bike from off-campus U District apartments, rental homes or Greek houses.
“big university vs. small one?”
Are you interested in a comparison between universities of varying sizes, as you literally have stated it, or are you interested in a comparison between universities and true small colleges?
