Notre Dame Party Scene?

How does this dynamic work exactly, does anyone know? South Bend always seems to have a bad reputation for this kind of stuff (at least from where I’m from). I understand that dorms seem to take the place of frats. Are parties in the dorms? Off-campus? Large or small? How frequent? Thanks!

If you are looking for a party, you will find it. If you don’t want to party, there are plenty of other things to do.
