Sober social scene?

You will have no problem with the sober social scene here. I find it hard to believe anyone here seriously doesn’t know anyone that doesn’t drink. They must not have very expanded horizons, and maybe those aren’t the people you want to befriend anyway. There are LOTS of other things to do on campus besides party. And even if your friends do drink, you only have to find the ones that still have enough brain cells left to be entertained by other things. It doesn’t have to be a black and white issue.

The only thing you may encounter is that I would argue the freshmen are the sloppiest class. They seem to party the hardest in some sort of overreaction to their newfound freedom. If you find in your first year that you are having trouble relating to your classmates, try and bond with the older ones and don’t worry that you’ll never fit in. There is just sort of a freshman craze that sets in, and even by winter semester I think people start chilling out. You shouldn’t have any problem meeting older people if this does become an issue for you.
