<p>I am sitting here in my dorm at CMU with about five other friends just hanging out at 1 am. Meanwhile, people are talking in the other lounges down the hall, and a few folks just ran down the hall chasing each other. And this is our downtime–around 5 pm, we’re a lot more social with a lot more people, spanning every major and beyond.</p>
<p>I’ve met some of the greatest people just by hanging around campus, or joining clubs. CMU, for me, is actually a more social environment than high school ever was. I actually have so many things I want to do with friends here that I actually have scheduling conflicts between my various friends and barely have time to settle down between class and having “burrito day” lunch parties and all the meetings my friends want me to go to and just plain running around campus playing around.</p>
<p>And I have never once been to a party here. Totally optional.</p>
<p>I hope that unnecessarily-lengthy description helped you out!</p>
