<p>So I was wondering, does anyone know what the social scene is like at Wash U? I remember a friend of mine visiting the place during school and to make a long story short, he ended up helping a drunk guy up to his dorm. So i was wondering, is Wash U like this? Are there many parties there? I sure hope there are but I want to see what everyone else thinks.</p>
<p>From what I heard they study hard during the week and party hard on the weekends. I definitley hope their is a good social scene there because I chose Wash U over UGA which has an amazing social scene.</p>
<p>I was hoping you would say that. I think the study hard party hard is the type of attitude I'm going to like, but who knows until next year. Does anyone else know about the party scene at Wash U?</p>
<p>I don't know about the study hard part, but I'm looking forward to partying hard.</p>
<p>Hahaha, well I was assuming the study hard because its Wash U. But I deffinatley agree with you!</p>
<p>Well Beavis, it appears you have found Butthead. With those attitudes "Home for The Holidays" may take on a whole new meaning for each of you next year.</p>
<p>Wash U is a competitive institution. The students will all be gifted test takers and BS'ers, just lke you two yardmonkeys. Party too little -Jack's a dull boy. Party too much- Jack's an "at homeboy". Just my opinion , as usual except this time trust me- I spent the first 100 days of my college career in an alchohol and drug induced coma. (It's still spoken of reverently at College One as "The Lost Months" and I am still known as "Vomitus Erectus" for my incredible ability to remain ambulatory during the coma.)</p>
<p>In one fell prolonged swoosh I lost a scholarship, a fraternity invite, two girlfriends and a 1974 LeMans Sport (for a month-really. I was afraid to report it stolen for fear it had been involved in an accident and/or string of major felonies). In trade I garnered a checkbook devoid of my life savings, an easily curable but painful STD, a raw oyster eating championship, assorted friendships with various tatooed and/or glittered "folk", and a stunning 2.3 gpa. WooHoo! </p>
<p>Good luck. At least I warned you. Nobody told me crap.</p>
<p>I heard that Wash U is the type of place where you can't have intelligent conversations with someone outside of class. Is that true?</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, I find it funny that you think you know me because of a post I made on the internet. Guess what, I know the priorities in my life and I know how to handle myself.</p>
<p>Jenz--Where did you here that?</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, where did you goto school?</p>
<p>Curmudgeon, do you honestly think I am deciding to choose to goto Wash U based on if its a party school or not? I was reading a post you made in another thread and you implied that message. However, I am not. You cannot make pointless deductions out of limited information like you have. I got into Washington University in its Early Decision round without knowing if its a party school or not. I chose to apply ED because I knew it was a great school with a great education and I have not heard anything bad about it. However, I would like to know what the social scene is like. Whats the matter with that? I am going to be living there for the next four years and I want those four years to full of insight and learning, but I also want to have a good time. You think you know me and your comparing myself to an earlier you, but I am sorry to say, I am not like that. I will not lose my sense of self being when I goto Wash U and I do not want someone like you making pointless accusations like you have.</p>
<p>Haha, I was just kidding. I know I'm going to have to study hard, it's Wash U, but I still would like to party. I have gotten great grades in high school by studying during the week and partying on the weekend, and I hope to continue the trend in college.</p>
<p>I went to washu - that's definitely not true about not having intelligent conversations outside of class. Of course it all depends on who you're friends with, there are always people uninterested in that sort of thing. </p>
<p>And as far as the social scene goes, "work hard party hard" is exactly what it is. It's true, washu or most private schools can't compare to what you see at a public school, in a college town, but washu students know how to have fun. Frats are a big part of freshman/sophomore year for a lot of people, and yes, most of washu's fun is related to alcohol, but there are also a lot of events on campus and around town. Plus there's tons of non-greek partying on campus. Washu's location is great, close enough to the city to take part in everything going on in st. louis.</p>
<p>Sirwebber, every says their school has a work hard, party hard attitude.</p>
<p>geez sirwebber, chill out a little; even if he did imply that, what's the point of blasting him online about it? and YOU yourself, my good man, were a little irritating when you responded to my first post on this site...</p>
<p>I visited Wash U over the summer, my dad's roommate in college is now the head psychiatrist there and he gave us the grad tour. First of all, Wash U has it's own bus trasport system that's free...head into the GREAT college town for a night or so. We ate dinner in the town; really pretty; very safe and friendly atmosphere, great food! </p>
<p>Also, don't forget about Forrest Park, which is right next door to Wash U...gorgeous park, giant zoo, botanical gardens, art museum...</p>
<p>I don't think it gets much better than that! And honestly; at every college, you can find whatever level of fun/partying you want. For those who want to work hard during the day and party harder at night; look me up once you get there, lol.</p>
