Social Life

<p>I’m just wondering what the social life is like at Bard? What is there to do on weekends? Are their always concerts? I do like to party, and I guess I’m just wondering if I’ll be bored. </p>

Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean by ‘like to party’ but my D. who is a freshman has found stuff to do - usually there are concerts at the Root Cellar and at SMOG (campus venues) with good bands. Root Cellar I think is more indie folkie etc and SMOG is more club like, I think. One night they went to a drive in movie, on a few other nights she has gone to various small house dinner/ other parties, on and off campus, or to Fisher Center events. And one weekend they went to NYC.

It’s definitely REALLY LIBERAL.

I just got accepted and I was watching the videos about Bard on YouTube. I don’t feel like going there. You can see the students smoking anywhere and they seem really high. They use inappropriate language in the videos and don’t care. They are talking about students walking around campus naked and having sex on the frond lawn… really? The school does have the program I love, but I can’t image who I’d become if I went there. It’s not gonna be good for my good conservative religious soul…
