<p>In your personal opinion, what are the pros and cons of colleges with social lives oriented around things like going to bars and clubs and colleges with social lives oriented around things like house parties and more stereotypical Greek parties? What colleges do you know of that have a good mix of bar scene and house parties?</p>
<p>University of Oklahoma has a pretty good mix of bars, house parties, and frat parties (25% of the campus goes greek).</p>
<p>Personally I prefer house parties to bars because bars (at least the popular ones at my school) seem to encourage the maximum number of hookups rather than just hanging out with people that I actually like. Also, bars are way too expensive, even if you’ve pregamed before going out. However, if a situation at a bar gets too awkward it’s much easier to leave than if you’re at a house party where you know the host and most of the guests.</p>
