FatChicks and 1bie792, while the percentage of Hobart students in frats is fairly small, there are reasonably frequent parties that the frats put on. There are no sororities as the William Smith students recently voted (again) to not have them; they felt no need for them as a source of identity as they have their own college, after all. My son is not in a frat, has never been interested in joining one, and has found a circle of friends that don’t bother with parties. There have been some college-wide dances that he’s attended with his girlfriend, but I don’t think those are sponsored by the frats. It is possible to have a social life with or without the frats.

Boomer, for first-year, I think I would recommend the gold meal plan and after that, you can gauge what to do for subsequent years. You could try the silver plan and see how it goes, but if you find it’s too restrictive, I don’t know if you can change it mid-year. Besides, you get a cake on your birthday! :)
