<p>So I keep reading that UW is largely a commuter school and the social scene on weekends is pretty dull. As an out of state kid, i'm pretty concerned about this. One of the perks of going to a large state school is supposed to be the social life! This will be very disappointing if it is true. I love absolutely love Seattle and the UW campus but it would really suck to get stuck with a bunch of commuters. I know that with 35000 kids on campus, many are not commuters but I still want to know if there are lots of options every weekend...not one frat party once in a blue moon</p>
