<p>I don't particularly want to get wasted or anything, but at the same time I don't want to seem nerdish by refusing to go every time :( Any ideas which schools are less party-oriented?? I'd like to mainly know about the major universities and LACs, btw.</p>
<p>No one??..bump</p>
<p>All schools have a party scene sadly :/</p>
<p>Unless you go to a super conservative, religious school (like BYU/Liberty/Pensacola Christian), there’s going to be somewhat of a party scene. If the school is pretty big or it’s near a city, you can do other things. If you’re out in the country, that may very well be the only thing to do on a weekend night.</p>
<p>Tufts doesn’t exactly have a raging party scene.</p>
<p>Probably the ones in urban setting, and colleges were most of the students commute.</p>
<p>I agree with @LegendaryC. I attend a commuter school and live on campus. Weekends are pretty empty and quiet here. If there’s a party going on, it’s usually in the apts nearby (where many students commute from) or it’s a very small gathering with drinks and whatnot.</p>
<p>Why would you deliberately seek out a school with no parties? You can just lock yourself in your room in any school.</p>
<p>What I meant wasn’t a school with no parties at all, but where you don’t get wasted every day of the week or something 
I mean, weekend parties are perfectly fine with me, but a general mood where everyone goes on a binge and doesn’t show up for class is a bit frightening, you know??</p>
<p>^Well, there aren’t a whole lot of schools like that, not good ones anyway. People do have to do at least somewhat well in their classes in order to stay in school, lol.</p>
<p>Just DON’T go to Florida or Ohio State or Ole Miss or anything like that…</p>
<p>I think we can safely assume that most college students, no matter where they go for school, don’t get wasted every night of the week. Even at a school with a big party scene, you won’t seem “nerdish” by refusing to go, and besides, going out doesn’t entail getting wasted.</p>
<p>Do you…do you want us to list every school without a raging party scene?</p>
<p>I went to Bryn Mawr and most weekends I would have had to go out of my way to find a party. I was unaware of a single party most weekends, actually. I remember being <em>shocked</em> when I walked across Haverford’s campus on a Friday night and there was loud music coming out of every other student residence.</p>
<p>Well I guess people DO study at times… but I just wanted to know what schools were more moderate in partying. I guess it would be impossible to talk about every school, so how about like the top 15 universities and LACs then?? Any ideas??</p>
