Man was someone else kind of bummed out by the social life when going to a Canadian university? Don't get me wrong first term was not bad, dated a bit, went to a few parties, some clubs/sport team/univ. events but nothing really seemed that exciting.
There are no fraternities/sororities, parties although are hosted pretty often are usually smaller scale res parties. Maybe it has something to do with 19 being the legal drinking age so clubbing is way more popular? But anyway when I went applied I expected university to be high school x100 but it largely is a bunch of tired kids. There isn't really any strong school spirit and I don't really feel that there is a community associated with the uni.
Maybe it's just me being first year and all, or my vision of what college is supposed to be like is too skewed by American movies.
Don't get me wrong college is pretty awesome and there is a lot of fun stuff going on but my expectations were somewhat greater.
What was your experience like?
