program is good, but social life is dead

The university itself is a bit outdated and the atmosphere can be quite serious. It can be difficult to enjoy the social aspect of university life when you're focused on a demanding academic program. However, it's important to remember that there is a diverse group of students at the university, with a variety of backgrounds and interests. It's possible to find a niche and connect with like-minded people, even in a more traditional academic environment.
