Are the dining halls at UW that bad? I'm an incoming first year at UW and haven't even touched the food they offer there but i'm already expecting the it to not be filling enough.

If the dining hall is so bad then how else do students at UW eat enough to sustain themselves through school?

Anyone recommend cooking meals themselves? I would think that would take quite an effort especially if I am stressed or piled with work and need every second to myself.

Cheap eat recommendations?

any advice for getting nutrition in

I'm an incoming first year at UW seattle from the bay area and I can't help but feel a little nervy about the new environment. I've been seeing news about the Laundry homicide and recent shootings and i'm a bit freaked out. I know that sort of crime exists no matter where you go but now I just wonder what a day at UW would look like.

Hoping UW will become my home away from home, but as a first year I'm worried about adapting to the new environment or being homesick. Generally, what are some street rules I should know to help get used to the new area?

What's a realistic feel for life at UW outside of school, like exploring the area with friends hanging out or going out to eat.

What are some good living habits to adapt as someone first entering UW, (ec. don't do laundry at night, cook your own meals)
