<p>You won't be bored. Of all the things (good and bad) that I've heard people say about Wake, I've never heard anyone say that they're bored with the school.</p>
<p>Wake Forest is a great university with tons of stuff to do. Even though Winston-Salem is not a college town there are still plenty of things to do and it has more of a "down-home" flavor that I find quite appealing. The ACC sports of Wake also make it a good choice and brings a lot of school spirit to the campus. From what I have heard from everyone who goes there, it is very hard to get bored at Wake. However, it is not for everyone and you need to be certain that you fit in at the campus. Start exploring activities that they offer or have at Wake and try to contact people who run activities on the campus that you would be interested in. Think long and hard about what you would like to see your self doing in college in terms of social life and ECs and explore these options at each of the colleges you got accepted to.</p>
<p>I hope this helps and good luck in the selection process.</p>
<p>It is hard to be bored at Wake Forest. Winston Salem is a small city, but they have real good places to eat; so you can occasionally splurge and eat out. And we also have great delivery places (YAY Wing Zone). </p>
<p>Moreover, if you're going greek, a lot of your time will be taken up by Fraternity/Sorority ****. I pledged this semester and it took away more than half of my free time. Its a lot of fun though.</p>
<p>ACC sports prevent any sort of boredom. Football games, tailgating for games is awesome. Be a screamin' demon.</p>
<p>I'm having a blast here, and I'm sure you will too.</p>
<p>Generally people have fun at wake! However, I know some people who don't and have put them into three categories. </p>
<ol>
<li><p>People who are homesick. This applies mostly to girls. I know some girls who miss their boyfriends back home and drive there every weekend. Seriously.</p></li>
<li><p>People who don't socialize. College is what you make of it (cliche but true). If you don't join clubs or at least make the effort to know your roommate - you will be bored out of your mind.</p></li>
<li><p>People who literally party every single day. These <em>crazy</em> people, apart from having low gpas , find wake boring because they are hanging around the same people all the time. At big schools like UT or schools in the city its probably easier to party every day and meet new people. Generally, if you party during the weekend and work/hang out with friends during the week you'll love wake and never get bored.</p>
<pre><code> Actually right now, its a friday night and I would LOVE to go out. All the frats are having parties before exams... I'm actually studying because I'm going out tomorrow night :) 5 minute procrastination break :)
