<p>I don't want to go to the biggest party school in the country, nor do i want to attend the college with the best pre-med program. All i want from college is a fun experience that i can always remember, while receiving an education that will sufficiently prepare me for med school. Are there any colleges/universities that offer this? Please don't list schools like SDSU or others where a student's social life is a study group.</p>

All of them, depending on your abilities.</p>
<p>If you’re premed (or anything else for that matter) and you don’t have time to have some fun, you’re doing something wrong, regardless of the college.</p>
<p>As long as you have a good study ethic, I do not see why this would not be possible in any school/program.</p>
<p>I am an engineering major interested in medical school, and I believe I have one of the hardest workloads a person can put themselves through. I still have time to attend parties, take place in a fraternity, and even relax a little on the weekends. However, YOU MUST ORGANIZE YOUR TIME AND MAKE EVERY SECOND IN YOUR DAY COUNT. If you can treat school just like any other full time job (put 8 hours of solid work in a day including classes, which means wake up at 7 even if your first class is at 10 and study, and don’t stop studying until 5-6 with minor breaks in between), you will have time to do anything you want past 7-8. Of course, relaxing is a good idea during the week, but having dinner with friends or going to a few parties (as long as your hangover the next day does not interfere severely with your studying) every now and then is acceptable. Of course, most parties ARE on Friday or Saturday, so just make sure when you are not at a party or at an extracurricular, you take time to relax and study. College can be a lot of work, but it does not mean you have to work work work work work, it means you can work work have fun work work relax work work hang out work work party :D.</p>
<p>Definitely. I’m a neuro major and I play a varsity sport, but I also make a point of going out on weekends, spending time with friends, doing things I enjoy, etc. </p>
<p>I second what’s said above… you just have to manage your time and find a schedule that works. I try to make school and studying my priority from about 9 until about 5. Then I have sports practice, and then I go home and relax, maybe watch t.v with my roommates until I go to bed. Weekend nights I go out, and in the morning I force myself to get out of bed and do a few hours of school work. </p>
<p>I think the biggest thing I’ve sacrificed is sleeping in… I’m almost always up around 8 or 9. Starting your day just a little bit earlier makes a big difference.</p>
<p>Nobody will every push you to either be stuck with the books or party 100%. You can find happy balance everywhere you go. All is up to you.</p>
<p>wasn’t there a law past against this?</p>
<p>
Yeah, that’s why you need to be careful. If a cop ever catches you having fun and asks about your career plans, say you’re “majoring in business” and hope he doesn’t demand a copy of your transcript.</p>
<p>hahahahahahaha</p>
