One thing that is really misinterpreted about RU is the social life. I want to shed some light on the "party scene" at RU because it actually sucks.

When comparing schools like JMU or UVA or Virginia Tech etc etc to Radford University, in terms of partying, hands down they all trump RU.

First, RU has absolutely no school spirit AT ALL. There is also no football team and RU does not have a single program that is considered respectable in the Big South Conference. The Basketball team is a joke and the Baseball team annually loses to tohe local area community colleges (seriously). So, with sports being non-existent at RU, that alone takes out a major aspect of the social scene one generally would expect at a University.

Second, the largest party of the year, "Quadfest" is on average smaller in scope than the Virginia Tech pre-game tailgate…in one section of one parking lot at lane stadium…AT A DUKE GAME! If you go to nearby VT on any given Saturday during football season, the atmosphere and partying is tenfold better than RU's only big social event, aka Quadfest.

RU got this stereotype of major party school in the 1980's. Now it has shriveled up into nothing more than 5-15 people crowded around a half empty Natty Light keg in a small, dirty, extremely old house that has almost everything broken inside of it..including windows, doors and appliances.

If you go to a Frat party, you get the same thing, only the house is even more broken down and has the added value of a disgusting odor as well as puddles of mysterious liquid all over the floor. Instead of 5-15 people standing around, you get 30-40 people crunched wall to wall in a basement having to wait 30 minutes to get half a cup of beer.

And to top it all off, in a matter of a few weeks, you start to realize you see the EXACT same people at every single party you go to. Whether you know 10 or 200 people, you will bump into all of them and eventually get tired of partying with the same people because they are all alike. You quickly realize that even though you go to a school of 10,000 students, you only actually see about 40-50 of them at parties…for four years straight. It makes you wonder if there are actually 10,000 students and why the hell it ever got a reputation as a party school…

Don't get me wrong, beer and college is always fun, but the scene is weak compared to most schools in VA. Its average at best, plus cops have gotten real bad last two years and bust almost everything now.
