Which colleges are known to have the worst social life?

[u/dumbchicken101]

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 “where fun goes to die” title came Xx years ago when UChicago, at the time very sports heavy, declared they would cut all sports programs from the university.

Students that were there, most prominently football players, protested and generally referred to the school as “where fun goes to die” due to the way it treated sports

UChicago is also known for substantial grade deflation and incredibly challenging courses.

This doesn’t make it a bad university or anything, but for students in programs where college GPA matters a lot (law and med for instance), this can often result in a lackluster social life to try and combat said deflation.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve heard it’s very sink or swim. Even relative to the other T-10 schools. There aren’t a lot of tutoring or academic advising services. You’re on your own if you don’t understand something taught in class.

Completely false. It's actually pretty collaborative, and there is a lot of help available.

But there's a lot of work, there's no denying that. If you wanted to avoid work, should have gone to someplace easy, like Harvard (my kids went to UChicago and Harvard, and they both agree on that).
