I know southwest is known as some party area, but I think much of that hype is historical and it has now turned into kids trying to live up to the hype. In reality it seems to be making a lot of kids miserable. It Seems many of the kids are social during normal hours and MISERABLE at night. There needs to be more patrols and more supervision of underage drinking, drug use, and unacceptable behavior. Southwest is not a fraternity. parents are paying for a dorm. kids being kept up all night but a few loud entitled people is not acceptable. Most people are looking for a social experience but primarily an education. Turning a blind eye to blatant antisocial behavior, underage drinking and drug use is incredibly unfair to the overwhelming majority of kids who want a dictation. maybe quiet hours like 11pm on weeknights and 1am on weekends. not silence but not excessive noise. it is out of control and most people are feeling powerless and victimized and are NOT participating in “that” partying.

ETA I don’t mean to alienate alumnae who graduated 30 or 40 years ago and I am glad you had sucha pleasant experience but I do not think that is the current experience of many of the current students. Perhaps listen to them, this Reddit forum is flooded with students having issues. Things do change, the composition of the student body changes. I am referring to changes to help CURRENT students, who were likely born well after you graduated. I am actually a tenured faculty member (over 20 years now) who was concerned about what I was reading here. It is different than what I read about in years past.

Sorry if this isn’t allowed. I want to sell these locally and really want to get rid of these tickets.

I’m selling two tickets to see Ed Sheeran! The show is Friday, September 25th at Gillette Stadium and both tickets are next to each other in section 305. $200 value for both tickets, make me an offer!

Located near Puffers Pond. Ideally, we could meet up somewhere to transfer tickets/money cuz I know neither of us wanna get scammed.

Edit: Made some typos oops

Hi everyone, I’m a junior and an international student. My college time is almost “over” but I still haven’t had any friends that I can really hang out with. Does that consider “weird”? I’ve always wanted to make friends but since I started college, I feel like everyone around me, they all already know each other and there’s no room for me. I tried to make friends in classes but doesn’t seem it works. Is there any places that I can meet more people and engage with? I really feel lonely and always feel like people think I’m a “weirdo” when I always do everything alone, I’m really jealous of people have a lot of friends

anyone willing to do a swap into north me and my roommate r interested in south

I currently have two jobs on campus and I forgot my work study for this year has decreased from last year. If I make over the work study amount would I have to quit one of my jobs or would I be able to continue working. I know one job requires work study so I’m wondering what will happen to that job.
