How is the social life at Susquehanna? Does the campus clear out on weekends? Are there lots of things to do on the weekend? My son is pretty liberal and enjoys a diverse environment. Are the kids super conservative? How tolerant are the students? My husband and I went to a very large suburban university so a small rural school is not something we are super familiar with.
@deawd, my D has enjoyed SU. Some kids go home every weekend, but a lot of them don’t. There are quite a few kids from out of state (we live in Maine, and there are other students from our area).
Greek life is big - D has been surprised at how many of her friends and acquaintances are in a sorority or fraternity. She doesn’t “get it” and has no desire to join in, but she doesn’t feel excluded at all. She’s made a lot of good friends. Last summer, she and another young woman decided to rent an apartment in Philadelphia and work there. It was a good experience. Good luck!
