<p>I visited Fairfield University with my son last spring and was surprised how empty the campus was at noon on a Friday. Was that abnormal? What were other's experiences? Do most students stay for the weekend and are there things to do? I am starting the college search for my daughter and was wondering whether it was worth giving it a second try.</p>
<p>Any opinions from others who have visited?</p>
<p>I go to Fairfield Prep, and I must say that there is very little to do in Fairfield. However, there are a lot of hot girls that go there, so your son should be just fine.</p>
<p>My son went there for a year and a half. Alcohol and drugs, including cocaine, are pervasive, and the weekend social life clearly revolves around alcohol. I would not send another child there. There are party schools, and then there are real party schools . . .</p>
