No greek life (shocking I know). Student Activities provides lots to do on weekends, but the events are sparsely attended. GWU remains a suitcase campus.

Drinking takes place much more frequently than is acknowledged by the University, but not in excessive binge fashion. On the whole, there is plenty to do for those who actively seek activity (being intentional is a must).

GWU is in a small town and it can seem that nothing is going on, but if you want to find something to do it is not hard.

Bottom line is that if you are bored and complain you have nothing to do you simply aren't trying to find anything to do.
