<p>So I always kind of assumed that college was going to be an easy place to find parties if and when I wanted to go to them. Unfortunately, the people I ended up being friends with don't want to party at all, and most of them go home on the weekends anyway so my Friday and Saturday nights are the most incredibly boring times of my life. Any advice on this? It's not like I just wanted to get hammered every week but its kind of annoying that 3 1/2 weeks in I still have not been to a single party.</p>
<p>Look for people who look like they know where parties are. Then ask them.</p>
<p>That’s the advice I was given, though I have no plans on partying.</p>
<p>Join a club or participate in some type of organized activity. Even stupid stuff like study groups or the ultimate freesby club can help with that.</p>
<p>My son just started this semester and has already been to way more parties than he should have gone to (like almost every day) - most of his “contacts” from the parties were either from his home town or from marching band, but just the small dorm room parties or semi-official group parties lead to other opportunities. </p>
<p>From my personal experiance a couple (or three) decades ago, locating the parties is a one thing leads to another, which leads to another to another, which ends up leading to more parties than you can attend and some really bad grades.</p>
