Another School Echoes Boring Weekends

This article was written a few years back, but it shows that even six years ago activities on the weekend were hard to find. But it also offers some good advice in the last paragraph for anybody looking for things to do.

SCU Approved Student Blog

This blog was written by a freshman student at Santa Clara University in January of 2007. It offers a good look at the small school from a new student's perspective and they even talk about the weekend halfway through.

A Forum for People to Go

Here is a great blog/thread where people can voice how they feel about college and loneliness in general. It seems to really help some of the people that post on there.

An Older Article About Weekend Fun

Here is an article from the school newspaper about some weekend fun. It shows one of the many ways college students have a good time.

Weekends on Another Campus

I spent the weekend at the University of Wisconsin at Madison and got to experience life on another campus for the weekend. I must say that I felt it was very similar to SCU. The day was spent inside just relaxing or running quick errands, and everyone went out at night to go to parties and hang out with friends. There is 3 feet of snow there and the average temperature was about 30 degrees, so it makes sense that people stayed inside. But when I was there a few months back, it was pretty much the same story. I guess that Hollywood has blown crazy college weekends way out of proportion.

The First Interview

So I held my first interview about college weekends two days ago and it wasn't quite what I expected. The girl I spoke to didn't really exhibit the angst and boredom with the weekend like most people do. Also, the interview didn't really go that long. Hopefully next time I will have some more probing questions and get a stronger opinion from the interviewee.
