<p>I'm a big believer in</p>

<p>Work-Work-Work-Work-REWARD-Work-Work-Work-Work-REWARD.</p>

<p>What I mean is..You work hard for a certain amount of time and every now and then you go to a party or something and relax. So how's the social activity at FAU? I'm inclined to coming here if I get accepted.</p>

<p>I've heard about the Foam Party, which looks awesome; and the bonfire and such.</p>

<p>But what else is there?</p>

<p>The best answer, though it feels like a non-answer, is that it’s highly variable person-to-person. People who are active on campus (especially if they live on campus), Greeks and people playing intramural sports have much better social lives than people who don’t. </p>

<p>The people who don’t have a good time here:

  • are socially awkward or buzzkills
  • treat FAU like a job you attend 9-5 and then leave
  • have friends at other colleges and use this as an excuse not to meet anyone, playing the victim card</p>

<p>This is your college experience. You make the most of it, you’ll be happy. I did.</p>

<p>As you may know, there aren’t Greek houses on campus (yet), so frat parties are at their off-campus houses. There are no “block parties” here. There are parties in the dorms (especially University Village apts and Innovation Village apts) and people’s apartments off-campus.</p>

<p>As far as big social events, you have:

<p>Stuff like that.</p>
