Social Life at CMU?

As a CW kid myself, I can say that HSS people tend to have a pretty balanced social life it seems. Most of us will go out sometimes but there are very few who take it to the extreme or are out every weekend. I’ve only been out once so far this year and most of my close friends would prefer to go to Shadyside for sushi over getting wasted at Phi Kap.

The school really is what you make of it. If your daughter wants to party, it will be available to her, but if she doesn’t, then there are plenty of other kids who are in that spectrum who aren’t socially inept losers. HSS is fortunate in that it is the college which traditionally has the least project-based work, so we tend to also have the most free time - which allows for any number of activities.
