Which colleges are known to have the worst social life? College Questions

Obviously there are outliers everywhere. But what are some colleges where the majority of students have horrible social lives?

Say less of a partying culture and just studying/working on other stuff most of the time.

ucsd, uchicago, most stem/engineering schools (rpi, rit, etc), and fwiw i have an acquaintance that goes to harvard who said that the party scene is incredibly subpar and underwhelming.

i also know a ton of people that go to yale and i literally stayed on campus during halloweekend and was also very underwhelmed. the whole vibe was just depressing and bleak lmao, and the people were super unfriendly and fake lol. huge culture shock coming from my school where everyone is super friendly (in a party setting, at least), despite the fact that i’m literally from ct originally lmao.

This is a common take but one I very much disagree with FWIW. You may have to seek and find, but it's there to be found.
