Student satisfaction ranks near the bottom of a group of elite colleges, and a lack of social life is identified as one of the major problems.

By senior year, everyone was getting tired of this—even our parents. “The next time you see a skinny, neurotic boy,” my friend??s mother advised, “don’t date him.” Could people like us find love outside the humanities?
