<p>I would say that for the first couple months, many of my friends went home a lot, especially on long weekends. Most stop after the first semester it seems.
You are right in your belief that people do not go into the city often. I’m realllly happy that I have my own non-Fairfield friends nearby… I would have gone insane without at least monthly visits into NYC!! I think that I might be unique in this regard though-- most of my friends are not from urban areas and are not particularly enthralled with the culture of a city, thus feel minimal need to be in New York City ever. </p>
<p>There definitely is a lot going on with FUSA. They sell tickets to Broadway maybe once a month or so, but these are almost impossible to get. There’s an availability of maybe 30 tickets and people line up for them hours before they even start selling. Campus wise… well, I’m not all too sure what goes on with FUSA these days. They host a lot of great activities, but I do think that it is mainly freshman and some sophs who attend. I’m really not sure because I haven’t gone to that many of them. The social life of Fairfield University mainly revolves around alcohol. “Partying” refers to alcohol. I have no idea why so many freshman feel the need to party so hard and so often… its pretty much every Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, and occasionally Thursday night. I really don’t mean to put Fairfield in a negative light… I have enjoyed my time here on the most part. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
