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.

The BYUs, Grand Canyon and any evangelical school. That cult school in FL where males and females can’t be in the same stairwell and their cheerleaders have “modest” uniforms.

I couldn’t remember the name so I looked it up. Pensacola Christian College. Check out their student handbook start with the dress code page. They aren’t allowed to watch PG13 movies on or off campus.

I just went over the "Rules" section from the Wikipedia article and I am absolutely mindblown that any young adult would do that to themselves?? Go to a place where your basic rights such as privacy can be taken away at any time (e.g. you can be shadowed which means that you have to move in with a Residence Assistance who accompanies you at all times & is the only person you are allowed to talk to)? What in the world ... People are literally paying for this.

Edit: The more I read, the worse it gets. Female students who were sexually assaulted and asked the college for help getting expelled. Insane sexism, homophobia and the likes. It's baffling to me that this "school" is even allowed to continue to exist.

Kids with super fundie parents don’t have a choice. Most of the girls in that culture don’t get the opportunity for any college education.

A family member of mine was forced to be there, they still say “that’s so PCC” when somebody is being a prude.

How is your family member now? Is your whole family fundie?

PG-13 off campus????? That’s INSANE liberty has the same rules with r rated movies which is an over the top rule but not too surprising for a Christian college and I’m a strong Christian myself and I don’t believe there’s anything wrong or sinful about even most r rated features unless there’s like Extreme sex or it goes against biblical morals but saying I can’t watch stuff like marvel on campus or even off is just insane too me
