<p>It's on the 3rd page of this forum titled "The social life sucks?" </p>
<p>If you have any further questions feel free to ask. Things have definitely improved and I would rate CMU's social life to be far better than some of our peers (such as Uchicago, Cornell, Emory, etc.). Remember that EVERYTHING depends on the individual. You have the nation's 2nd largest college city just a 5 minute walk away and the huge party college of Upitt intermingled with the campus. Even with these two facts you can see how people who blame the social life have only THEMSELVES to blame.</p>
