I was just accepted to the class of 2020 and I’m super happy and excited!
The thing is that I’ve been doing research and it seems like everyone says the campus is very quiet and studious. I’m in the IB so I’ve been exposed to competitiveness, and I enjoy it to a certain extent. The problem is that I don’t want to be surrounded by people who only know how to study if that makes sense. I don’t want my whole life to be solitary studying, I want to have fun experiences too. But from what I’ve heard if you want to go out/party, you have to go to frats at other colleges, but that’s definitely not my scene either.
Basically what I’m asking is if there’s some kind of middle ground. Hangouts, movie nights, chill parties on campus, karaoke, bars, anything? What do students do when they’re not studying? Are there fun activities/events on campus? Is there anything in the area?
Also, for gay (umbrella term) students, is there a good hookup culture/ dating scene on campus??
