<p>I've been looking into schools that have absolutely no social life: where the students shun and ignore sports, where the students stay in their dorms all day doing seemingly nothing, and where school activities and Greek life yield few members. Are there any schools out there that seem to have absolutely nothing going on for their students, where the students are individualists who make their own fun? I'd like to delve into this deeper.</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd, Case Western, Reed, U of Chicago</p>
<p>I disagree with cwru, and kind of with reed. they promote the individual, but they're students are very busy with extra-curriculars</p>
<p>reed, oberlin, sarah lawrence, and new college of florida</p>
<p>carnegie mellon..not sure if its true, but does have the rep.</p>
<p>Maybe you meant, Olin instead of Oberlin,because Oberlin is not dull, techy, and geeky.</p>
<p>In Terre Haute Indiana.......a school full of geeks in a small town in Indiana. Whoot.....boring</p>
<p>I suppose dull, techy, and geeky may not be the best way to say it, but Oberlin is certainly a haven for square pegs. It definately has the reputation of sort of independent, out-of-the-box type people who shun sports and don't enjoy frat parties.</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd, Carnegie Mellon, maybe MIT & Cal Tech, but i don't know as much about those.</p>
<p>University of Chicago</p>
<p>In different ways (and to some extent), St John's College, Reed, Harvey Mudd, Caltech, Reed, MIT, and University of Chicago fit this list. A more inportant question is, what do you want to study, because someone doing Literature probably shouldn't think much about MIT and Caltech or Harvey Mudd, but for engineering, these places would be ideal.</p>

<p>That we can agree with, when I think of Oberlin's school spirit, I don't think you wanna play chess, I think ooh, pretty colors, go flying horsecows!. That's exactly how it was when I visited, my dorm parent wasn't lying :)</p>
<p>Rochester Institute of Technology</p>
<p>MIT is definitely a place for individualists, but doesn't otherwise fit the OP's requirements: about 75% of the student body participates in at least intramural athletics, with about 20% in 41 varsity sports and 10% in club sports. As for Greek life, there are 24 fraternities and 5 sororities; I can't remember for sure, but I think about a third of the school is Greek.</p>
<p>CMU: techy, yes. Geeky, pretty much. Dull, no. Probably can say the same about other tech type schools located in cities.</p>
<p>I think the problem is very few schools are actually dull</p>
<p>Oberlin: serious students, no frat parties, but definitely not dull!</p>
<p>CUNY system (perhaps?)</p>
<p>Case Western. Celebrian, have you hung out at Case? I have - it was horrible.<br>
