Cultural orgs seem to be the most popular. There are also a lot of community service opportunities available.

You should know the right people and hang out with the right crowd to have a social life. There aren't too many huge parties just a bunch of room parties that go on through campus all through the week, so it may not seem like a huge party campus but if you find the right friends then its a happening place to be................................

rugby team, equestrian, squash team, MHACSA. I'm involved in MHACSA its fun an feels like a home away from home. Yea for the most part many do. Not really that popular it depends on the sport. Dating scene is okay could be better if there were more GUYS :) I lived in the same dorm as them of through MHACSA. If I am awake at 2am on Tuesday I am probably writing a paper or finishing up some reading or a project. There are many spring concert is the most famous, drag ball, las Vegas night, China night, African and Caribbean Day. People party fairly often like every other weekend it depends. No frats or sororities. Stayed in my room and watched tv and caught up with friends via the internet. well you can watch a movie or go out out to eat, you can even party without drinking its up to you. Go to parties off campus, go to eat, go to the movies, just go hang out with people from the five college area.

Rugby and the radio station seem to be popular. I am personally involved in the radio station and love having a show on such a well organized and highly rated station.

things put on by the network are usually the best social things going on. lots of other parties at blanchard attract a lot of weird people from umass/hampshire/etc.
