<p>Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I have a few questions about the atmosphere there in CMC.</p>
<li><p>are the students generally friendly and accepting? </p></li>
<li><p>are there a lot of parties and drinking on campus? i sort of dislike a lot of parties…</p></li>
<li><p>is it a more competitive or laid-back feel at CMC?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!</p>

<li><p>Most people are very friendly and sweeet. I know some people tend to be quieter and avoid eye contact, but overall.. you will get a great deal of warm hellos from people. If you come as a prospie... there are people that you may be standing in line with for lunch that will try to meet you, it happens (well, I try to.. haha) </p></li>
<li><p>There are a great deal of parties, but they're easily avoidable. ASCMC also provides plenty of dry activities for people who don't want to be in the partying crowd. However.. you never really know though.. some parties are really great, some are not. You kind of have to pick and choose. If you don't like parties... PLEASE do not request to live in any north quad dorms. It gets loud there, even during the week. If you're not a drinker... there's a substance-free dorm on campus called Stark. It's pretty awesome.... it's clean.. and rooms are really big. There's that to consider :D </p></li>
<li><p>I was told when I was prospie that CMC is really laid back and people don't compete with each other for things. I would say that is generally true.. but I kind of feel an "under the rug" competitiveness. If people are competitive, they're not obvious about it. Most people just try to do their best. Don't worry too much about that.. no one is going to cut your leg off to make sure to don't make it to the end. hahaha</p></li>
