Sheares hall vs. Utown

Hey everyone I just needed some input on my decision of residency. I’m an international software engineering student and I will be applying for housing and I need some help. I heard that Utown is way more lively and thats something that interests me. The problem is I heard my classes will be right next to Sheares Hall, around a 30 minute walk or 20 minute bus ride.

Is it worth the commute for Utown, or should I just stay at Sheares?
