How is UW's campus atmosphere?

Not really “campus atmosphere” but since both UW Mad and UDub are big state schools, are the campuses very spread out? This could be problematic if there’s a lot of snow on the ground most of the year.

Also, can one see the mountains from the campus of UDub? Can you see Mt. Rainier on a clear day?

I have heard that UW Mad has a beautiful lake on campus, but never been to that area, so don’t know.

I have visited Seattle/Washington State and love the area, and Son, a boy from the Deep South, is hoping to attend there for grad school. Glad to hear the climate is not as bad as we thought. It rains a lot in Alabama, where he’s currently going to undergrad, as well as our hometown of New Orleans, so I don’t think the rain will bother him. He likes a little snow, but I don’t think he’d like temperatures under 20 degrees for long!
