Beloit College Local Atmosphere had a new discussion posted by riboflavinjunkie

They are welcoming but be sure to make friends within the first two weeks, otherwise you won't belong to a friend group and kids here are surprisingly exclusive.

As a whole, they are pretty friendly. Anyone can make friends at Beloit but of course like at any school there are cliques but they are not stuck up for the most part.

The student body is very friendly but groups inevitably form. The biggest groups are jocks and people from a huge club on campus, Beloit Science Fiction and Fantasy Association.

Yep, everyone pretty much covered it, but I would that overall everyone is pretty friendly/open and if you make the first move to talk to someone people normal respond pretty nicely/positively, it's really easy to just start a conversation with people you don't know, most people just don't take the time or make the effort to do so as like people said, groups do tend to form pretty quickly.

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

So Beloit isn't the most exciting town in Wisconsin. The jig is up. Still, you won't see Beloit College hiding a red face, because people over there work to at least keep the campus lively. Generally, there's something happening on campus; it's up to you to decide how lame it is. Those of you who have friends know that the setting doesn't always make the fun, and sometimes sitting can be just as entertaining as a night on the town. The Van Galder bus drivers will be happy to drive you to the nearest big cities (that is, Madison and Chicago) for a fee if you're itching for a little change. Otherwise, take a romantic stroll along the Rock River, treat yourself to a dilly bar at the Dairy Queen, hug a few campus trees, take a walk to admire the beautiful houses (some are pretty amazing), or protest on the weekends. And if you're lucky, you might catch a flock of BSFFAs (Beloit Science-Fiction and Fantasy Assocation) in the middle of one of their midnight battles, or maybe you'll even be in one of their midnight battles, depending on your relationship with science fiction.

The thing you have to realize is that Beloit is boring, but Beloit College can always be entertaining if you're looking to be entertained. Sometimes, though, even that is boring. What I'm trying to say is, I go to school there and I still have fun, even when I'm bored.
