There are always parties on the weekends, college-run or otherwise, as well as myriad other activities both on the weekends and during the week. And even if none of the scheduled events appeal to you, a lot of socializing is just hanging out with your friends in the dorms. If someone’s social life is suffering here, it’s because they’re spending all their time studying, not because there’s nothing to do (and most people find it pretty easy to maintain a good balance, although of course some times are more work-heavy than others). Yeah, the town is small and doesn’t necessarily have a lot of excitement, but that’s not to say there’s nothing to do, and anything lacking in town is made up for by the stuff that’s always going on on campus. Just earlier this evening my friends and I walked to the movie theater in town and saw Frozen as a break from studying for finals. And even just taking a trip to Wal-Mart is fun with friends.
