With out a doubt. There are so many clubs on campus and things to do that it will be hard to not find something to do after studying.

Great place for political activists such as myself! Also is a dry campus so if you want to party you can obviously find places but if you don't, it isn't like you're missing out. Same with Greek life, small enough that you don't have to join to feel like you have a social life, but large enough that its fun if you do join.

The students are friendly and TDR's food is pretty good. Also, the campus is a national arboretum, so there are beautiful gardens and trees everywhere.

The social aspect is a little rough. People here aren't afraid to step on others to get to the top. Most of the people are from the east coast and aren't afraid to dominate the social scene with their fashion and strong personalities. Greek life runs the social atmosphere on weekends. Most of the social interactions between people are because of networking. Clawing your way to the top like an Eagle. Should probably be the school's motto.
