<p>It sounds like you were in a small south campus dorm, or someplace like Slivka, etc. Check out the reputation of places like Bobb and Elder- those dorms are notorious for being social to extremes.</p>
<p>I would tend to agree, your description of NU was one of a different school than what I attend. I find the social scene plenty lively, and I’m not even one of the ones who’re in the “high” social scene that goes out on week-nights. Going greek also helps this- they’re probably not what you think. I won’t lie that there are lots of nerds and socially inept people (though those two are not one in the same here), that’s not really a good reason to discredit NU- there’ are plenty of people who are neither.</p>
<p>You also forgot NU has a lakefront. And you won’t get beat up if you ever go to Ann Arbor wearing NU colors. Can’t say the same for ND.</p>
