<p>*which I wrote off very early in my college search as a big party school that would be a very bad environment for me. *</p>
<p>Let me just say this…many schools with a “big sports” program or greek systems are going to have “party element” to them. However, that doesn’t have to bother you in the slightest. At every school, there will be serious students and slacker students who are only at school for the next kegger party. </p>
<p>I don’t know what your likely major is, but if you make friends with the serious students, the partiers won’t bother you.</p>
