How is UW's campus atmosphere?

No, financial aid awards are not generous for out-of-state students - more like non-existent (except for loans).

UW is more of a “suitcase” school than a commuter school. So many students are from Western Washington that a lot of people do leave during the weekend - either to go home or to do something away from the campus. The fraternities have many of their parties on Thursday nights, instead of the weekend, for this reason. There are still football games etc. on the weekends, but the dorms may be pretty empty.
