<p>If you partied and drank/smoked every weekend in highschool are you gonna have fun in the Ivy League? Are you gonna have more fun than you did in highschool?</p>
<p>depends which ivy…
what school are we talking?</p>
<p>does it matter?
are there some where my fears are true?</p>
<p>Naw man. I know a lot of people who do well in the Ivies. Based on rep, I’ll give you the top schools, because I’m assuming by “Ivy” you mean elities</p>
<p>Best for your type:</p>
<p>Dartmouth - Frats
Duke - Frats
MIT - Contrary to popular beliefs, we party with Harvard, Wellesly, BU, BC, etc
Penn - The Social Ivy
Stanford - The All rounder school that can do anything pretty much
Brown - Highly liberal</p>
<p>Not as much
Cornell - People commit suicide…but then again, it depends if you’re in Engineering or Hotel
Columbia - It’s Columbia…lol. But it’s in NYC
Harvard
Yale
Princeton</p>
<p>Not at all
UChicago - Where the fun goes to die
Caltech - lol…
Johns Hopkins - Anal Premeds</p>
<p>You can party every weekend wherever you go as long as you’re extremely motivated to get your work done during the week. That sounds easy, but it gets more difficult as classes get tougher and the workload becomes more intense. That, and midterms/finals weeks. Cornell is notorious for having a rigorous workload, especially for engineering.</p>
<p>However, Cornell, Penn, and Dartmouth have the biggest party reputations of the Ivies, if it matters.</p>
<p>If you only party on weekends, Dartmouth may not be the place for you…</p>
<p>Seriously though, there are plenty of parties in college, and plenty of drinking, and it is certainly possible to work hard and play hard. </p>
<p>Will you have as much fun as you did in high school? You certainly can.</p>
<p>Oh, and OP. I don’t care where you end up (except for the last 3 universities I mentioned). But DO NOT end up in wellness or substance free communities. DO NOT!</p>
<p>You can get plenty of healthy options if you stay normal.</p>
<p>Mr Prince, I would imagine that you have never experienced the Princeton Eating Club weekend social scene and parties, have you?</p>
<p>Parties at Ivies are so much better than parties at state schools. There’s the work hard, play hard principle.</p>
<p>“Parties at Ivies are so much better than parties at state schools.”</p>
<p>– do you know just how absurd this sounds?</p>
<p>“Cornell, Penn, and Dartmouth have the biggest party reputations of the Ivies, if it matters.”</p>
<p>Deservedly so IMHO.</p>
<p>Agreed. I know people at Penn who party 4 nights a week, so that’s really not bad. And at Dartmouth, frats are really big. Cornell is big on partying too.</p>
<p>If all else fails, join a frat.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Aren’t these supposed to be selective? Only selected members party in the oh so “Eating Club”?
Just the name sounds so prickish.</p>
<p>^ MrPrince,
Loyal Princetonians will tell you that only half the Eating Clubs—Cap and Gown, Princeton Tower, Ivy, Tiger, and University Cottage—are exclusive. The rest are . . . well, let’s just say their members are regarded by the exclusive Clubs as social outcasts, just like those who belong to no Club at all. But even non-members may gain access to parties and other social events at the exclusive clubs . . . on a selective, invitation-only basis, of course.</p>
<p>^
Do you know why they do the whole Eating Clubs?
Is it not just a way for these exclusive types to show how elite they are?</p>
<p>Yeah…bottom line Princeton’s social life sucks. See the Columbia wiki on Princeton if you want to know more.</p>
<p>Go to Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, Penn, Cornell, or Stanford.
Northwestern should be pretty tight too. </p>
<p>MIT doesn’t exactly have the girls you are looking for, but we have BU and Wellesley. So It’s all good. ;)</p>
<p>I think a lot of people don’t realize how much money Ivies (the schools themselves) spend on giving their students good parties, both frat and formal. That’s why you can get a lot of beer, cocktails, bands, and DJs for free.</p>
<p>MIT is a beast. A lot of girls from other schools in Boston head to MIT for the weekend.</p>
<p>

<p>Mr. Prince, so have you attended any Princeton Eating Club parties or spent any time on the “Street” during a weekend when all ten Eating Clubs are having parties with live bands and 200-300 students at each party - all mansions right next to each other so that members and non members alike can go from party to party to party and enjoy dancing and solializing with their friends?</p>
<p>and since when are you to believe what a Columbia wiki would say about other schools?</p>
<p>Princeton also has non-recognized fraternities.</p>
<p>Wasn’t the move Animal House based on Dartmouth?</p>
