social life and campus?

[Ribosome]

<p>

well i got into fairfield and i was wondering how is the social life here? ive heard everything from theres always a party to theres never anything going on on campus.

</p>

<p>Whoever told you that nothing goes on campus couldn’t be more wrong. With any college campus, there are going to be the party nights (Friday, and Saturday), but if you want to party on Tuesday or Thursday? I’m sure you’ll be able to find one. If you want to study, relax a bit, then you can do that too. The social life is pretty awesome, you’ll find a lot of really nice people (I have yet to find anyone that I extremely dislike). There are plenty of events put on by the students association (for example there is Extreme Bowling usually once or twice a month on a Thursday). They made the first two weeks or so for the Freshman packed with activities every night in order to meet new people (this is where I met the core of my friends).</p>

how much dirnking is there and how many nights a week?

</p>

<p>I’m not much of a drinker, so for me it’s only Friday or Saturday nights (and even then, it’s not a lot). But it’s really your own choice on whether you want to drink-- every night or never. That goes for any college you visit and apply to. A big thing in college is becoming responsible academically and socially. You are at college to get an education, but if you’re partying every night then that will be in serious jeopardy. The key is to balance to two so you get both at their maximum value.</p>

<p>One of the users posted a review that pretty much sums up what I would say. The campus is really beautiful, however, I’m not so sure how pretty it will look in the dead of winter (February).</p>

<p>Fairfield has so much more to offer than parties and drinking. You’re going to be going to college to get a degree, and while the social life is great it’s not everything. All of the professors that I’ve had have been really awesome. They really do care about their students. None of my classes have been painful and incredibly tough, but they all do require work (a lot of reading!). It is a lot different and a lot better than high school in every aspect.</p>

<p>If there are any other questions I’d be glad to answer.</p>
