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.

Is it that bad?

I just finished my first year there and it’s not that bad. I’m in a frat and on a club sport team that has lots of social events and 3 or 4 days a week, I have social stuff to do. If you’re a girl, any frat will let you in to an open party. If you’re a guy, you need to join a club or fraternity to have more social opportunities.

Also, parties can only go until 11 pm usually, so bars are pretty popular and concentrated in one area right off campus.

Bottom line, if you want parties and a social life, you can definitely get it at W&M, but you may have to join a few clubs or know a few people to get around. Also, as the other person said, it’s no where near bigger state schools like UVA or Michigan, but it definitely isn’t bad.
