Or do they both look equally bad? I ask because I have a large number of audits (3) and one W.

I know that one or two Ws here or there are fine, and I really dont plan on getting anymore, but do the audits look as bad as the Ws?
 
I think audits are more easily explained than Ws, but that's just me.
 
Could you explain (pun intended)

Well, at my UG people were allowed to audit classes for several reasons:

1. Class too full. Teacher doesn't want to grade more tests, but will let you sit in and learn for no grade.
2. Class closed to your specific major. You can audit, but not get credit or a grade.
3. Not allowed to retake classes that you got a B or better in, but you can audit if you want a refresher or something.
4. Generally not allowed to take more than 18 credits per semester, but you can audit more if you want.
