Publics are OK to good. Best are Chadbourne and Lakeshore. Of the Privates, Towers and Statesider are the best. Not much difference except price and location. Most privates are near the library/union and heavily out of staters.
The typical UW kid is middle-class and works to earn money. Something like 60%+ work during school. There are a fair number of richer kids–both in and out of state–and there can be some conflict if you act all rich. Act normal and there is no problem.
