ha ha ha. ya true, the social scene is great. that's one thing i hate about utah. 15 minutes is too far to drive for most people. back home we had to drive a half hour just to go see a movie or go to the mall or go to a ski shop, and 45 minutes for me to get to work and *gasp* an hour and a half to go skiing.
well, that's enough ranting for me. I would say live in the dorms (if you find any you like) for the first year, then you will make plenty of friends and then move out the second year and viola, party central.
Just Huck It.
