Can anyone describe the social scene at JHU?
Ooh… Lol.
General Social Stuff: It’s really big freshman year, all the dorm hangouts, meals together, movie nights, etc. But after that, you’re pretty much in control of when / where you want to hang out with others. People usually just study together (kill two birds with one stone, haha) or chill at each other’s places. There are many clubs where you can meet people and do things together.
Big Social Events: There are sports games. There are “traditions” like Lighting of the Quads and Spring Fair, and random themed food giveaways + music that the Hopkins Organization for Programming (HOP) puts on.
Parties: Let’s see. You have Greek life, which is its own social scene. You have everyone else who jumps on the Greek life bandwagon when the major frats are hosting parties. You have the upperclassmen / people who are friends with upperclassmen that have and attend house parties. Some people go clubbing, but not that many, and it’s not the main thing to do. And you have dorm drinking for people that want to go out without going out, lol.
