Hey everyone,
I am a current Freshmen at F&M and I have to say that I love it there. F&M is offering something brand new this year called the Lancaster Loop ([Lancaster Loop Shuttle](http://loop.fandm.edu/)). Every friday it offers a free shuttle to the mall, saturday morning to central market, and on sunday night to the movies. Its worked out very well so far. As to on campus activities, if you get involved with a club, you can have constantly something to do. The CEC (campus entertainment committee) offers many different activities on the weekends as well.

As a freshmen I tend to stay mostly on campus, especially because I do not have a car. There is always something to do on the weekends, and your weekday nights are times for studying.

Drinking does happen at F&M, but no more than any other college campus. I have friends that drink and friends that do not drink, and there is no huge divide between the two. If you do not want to drink, there is no pressure to at F&M, which is something I really like. Frats/sororities are not the only thing to do on the weekends, especially because after your first semester freshman year, you are not allowed into frat parties unless you are a member of that frat.

F&M is a great college to go to because it combines the feel of a college campus with the town of Lancaster. A 60,000+ and growing city. There is always something to do on campus, and if something is going on in Lancaster, F&M usually provides transportation to the events, as well as planned trips to New York and DC. Come visit, go on a tour, talk to students to get a real feel of F&M.
