Best Scene for Miles
People will trash talk the F&M party scene. This is because A) people love to whine...surprise, surprise and B) because they TOTALLY saw bigger ragers at Rutgers/PSU/Maryland. Well duh, we can't exactly compete with the big state schools. However, go 10 mins down the road to Millersville to know just how miserable even a school of 20,000+ can be when it comes to partying.
For a school of 2,000 where everyone has too much work, F&M does a really good job. My fraternity for one puts a lot of effort into our parties with good results. I have had so many nights there I barely remember with friends and girls I will never forget. Sometimes the party scene gets a little slow, but if you have a good social group you will always have multiple frats as well as house/apartment parties to make your weekends fun and memorable.

Grass is not Greener
I can't tell you how many people I have heard complaining about the girls at F&M compared to other schools. First off, remember, there are only 1,000 girls here, compared to 15,000+ at other schools. That's why it seems like there are fewer hot ones.
Proportionally, our ladies are just as pretty on average as anywhere else. They come from well-to-do backgrounds in Jersey, New York, and Philly, so they have good genes and good parents. This also means that they can come off a little prudish, but you can't blame them for wanting to protect their reputations on such a small campus. Many become boyfriended so as to get regular sex without the drama, so remember this when macking on a Friday night. Only the loose ones have sex on the first night...party hook ups are commonplace though, and often a mini-relationship/steady hooking up with a girl will get you what you want.

Know where to look
Been there, done that. You can find any party drug, and people to it with, on this campus. However, out of necessity it is very much underground.
Anybody on campus dealing anything other than bud is going to be very secretive about it, since Public Safety will come after you if you get a reputation as a dealer of hard stuff. But at least once a month, kids will bring back small amounts of acid, shrooms, and mollie/E from Philly and New York. And no, "rolling" is not restricted to off-campus partying. People who have rolled at F&M parties have reported great experiences and tolerance for their method of partying among other students.
Some of the smartest, nicest kids at this school like their drugs. It's all out there. It is college, after all.
