Boston College or Lehigh?

Name the schools that don’t have a party scene? Brigham Young, Bob Jones, Wheaton and maybe a few others.

If you think any major college doesnt have a party scene, then guess again. It doesnt matter if they are religiously affiliated or not.

There is a question of degree and how pervasive the party scene is. It can also vary from dorm to dorm, from floor to floor in a dorm, or from frat/sorority to another.

Some of the most prestigious schools in the country have some of the wildest partying going on.

The bottom line is it all depends on you. Whether the party scene is a major distraction for you and you are likely to be “seduced” by it. Or whether you are highly irritated by it and would be very unhappy in that scenario. Whether you are focused and self disciplined and can largely ignore it, and then go out on weekends and attend parties but not drink, do drugs, or “hook up”.

Students who graduate with honors like Phi Beta Kappa usually are very focused and dont get into partying regardless of what is going on.

And some students attend colleges because they are looking for a particular party scene.

Name recognition is a subjective thing. It depends on the major, it depends on where you want to work when you graduate, it depends on the alumnae association connections helping you to find jobs, it depends on whether it even matters to you.
