Transfers of WSO, where did you have the best SOCIAL experience?

I've gotten into uChicago, Brown, Notre Dame, Northwestern, USC, and Georgetown as a transfer student. I'm pretty worried about breaking into the social scene at these colleges if cliques have formed already. Pretty anxious about this - if anyone has input, it would be greatly appreciated.

Ever considered that there are two schools on this list that don’t even have Greek life? And those that do are much different than SEC frat culture. I targeted the post towards people who have transferred to the schools I listed above so I wouldn’t get retarded comments like this one

damn dawg social life isn’t complicated. just join orgs or clubs your interested in and put yourself out there. not complicated.

 

Definitely cross out UChicago.

I heard USC and Georgetown can be cliquey and can be tough if you don’t come from money.

Never heard anything bad about Brown (Some Greek life but just a fun campus overall apparently), Notre Dame (heavy on Greek life) or Northwestern (Greek life + Chicago).

Went to USC, there are some groups that won't allow newcomers to "sit with them", but others are more open-minded. Not too bad I would say. It is true that quite a few of the students there come from money though. (But honestly, California is so expensive, even the average family there is rich compared to most other states).
