I want to make a comment in case someone is looking at this in 2019. I am a pre-med/biomedical engineering student.

A lot of the comments on here are about how greek life "rules" the school and if you're not in a fraternity/sorority then you have no social life. I think this may, unfortunately, be true for a lot of people but I personally know TONS of students not affiliated with greek life who have many friends. I have friends in greek life and not in greek life too. I'm sure your major has a lot to do with your experience here. Academically, some parts of this school are much better than others from what I've heard and a little from what I've experienced. The School of Engineering is great and you'll meet so many good, smart, fun, and nice people. Smart undergrad students are being accepted to Vanderbilt, UNC-Chapel Hill, Boston U, Tulane, and other amazing programs.

Being a pre-med student has also helped me make friends. A lot of my closest friends are pre-med or engineering as well and we all struggle/study together and it's terrible but a fun time too. Classes are challenging! I know very few people who just seem to always know the answer to everything. I have been very fortunate enough to know a lot of Honors College Fellows who are truly Ivy League tier students who just didn't get into Columbia/Yale or something, or just want to save six-digits worth of debt.

The extracurriculars here are pretty great too. There are so many clubs for so many interests. Getting involved may be a little difficult. After an initial "club fair" at the beginning of the school, you don't hear much about club meetings or events so try to be proactive about that. I even started a club and everyone in the office of student affairs was SO supportive and helpful.

Pre-med students:

You will get all of the classes here necessary for med-school/MCAT. There are only two pre-med advisors but they always have time to meet (I even called one on their cell-phone once because of a pre-med emergency). There are a lot of hospitals/clinics in the area as well at which to volunteer.
