I am a parent, but I can answer based on my D’s experience. Yes, there are plenty of off-campus opportunities to party, incl. frat parties and house parties. D also goes out to dance clubs in the city - underage admitted but not allowed to drink. D and her friends go “into the city” quite a bit, although eating out and going to clubs is expensive. She is a theatre major so she goes to see plays quite often, including Kennedy Center (lots of student discounts). Workout facilities - at the Jacobs Recreation Center. Yoga, Pilates and other classes are offered for a fee, but machines are free. Unequal guy-girl ratio? It is true, plus there is a sizable gay population. But that being said, there are plenty of guys and depending on your major you might not notice as much. As I said, D is theatre major - not so many guys there!
