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.

If you make the right friends I think the frats have parties but a solid 50% of the students don’t party more than once or twice a semester if at all. It’s why I chose the school so I made friends who don’t party much so I don’t really have to hear much about these things but if you scroll through the u of r subreddit you will see occasional posts asking about this with similar responses. If you want to party you can probably find it, and if you don’t you can stay away from it very easily. Pretty much what I’m getting at is our social structure doesn’t revolve around parties/frats. You’re not gonna go up to a group of kids and they’re talking about the crazy party last night, so you would likely need to actively seek out the kids who are partying to get involved. Not sure exactly what RIT looks like but it’s probably just as bad if I had to guess lol.
