OOS parent of student in greek life at UW – I would definitely agree that living in UW dorms is preferable for freshman year. You meet tons of people, from everywhere, and you pay a reduced rate (subsidized) for food at UW dining halls. If you want to be near "the action,’ most people say look at the southeast neighborhood. In Southeast, with Witte and Sellery, there are 2000 freshman living next door to Gordon’s dining center and a few blocks from State St. For a student involved in greek life rush, it is closer to walk from the houses on Langdon St back to southeast neighborhood dorms than it is to walk to Lakeshore, but plenty of freshman in Lakeshore do it.
