With an entirerly student owned and run union, several hundred clubs, and a very tight-knit campus, you will always find something to do and someone to hang out with. Even if you don't like hockey, the hockey games are the cinch point of the school spirit!

The social atmosphere of RPI is great too - it is a small enough school to where you will see people you know as you walk to class. There are an amazing amount of clubs and organizations, and greek life is very predominant in the culture of the school.

Absolutely. I mean, we have our fair share of parties, but there's so much more to be had. Like late night trips to Father's--the campus's convenience store that's open until 2am on weekdays-- LAN parties, homework parties, general hanging out, gaming, Munchkin, D&D, Paranoia. People are always around, and it's easy to find friends. If they're not around, you should probably also be doing your homework, just sayin'.
