its simple really- you only “study” during reading period at the end of the semester
the rest of the time you are busy with your friends ;)

The typical day may start off at 10 AM with classes through 4 PM. The real meat of your
day is structured around the evening peaking at 11 PM after which point you get to
work on individual psets and such till 2/3 AM. At times you might get into IM
games between the dorms during the night.

If you do research in science, a big chunk of time on 2-3 days may go towards that.

Usually you just text each other and meet up at the 'berg or some event where
they are serving the right kind of free food. So you would typically see a close circle
of friends about 3-5 days a week and interact with a much larger group on weekends.
Freshman life revolves around the yard which is a 2-5 minute walk to any destination.

I heard a rumor that when dorm roomies are assigned they pair introverts with
extroverts to balance things and make them come out of their shells.
