<p>for the current students: how are the parties? i know uci's not a party school, nor does it have a happening social scene, but you've gotta have frat parties right? how are those? how often? </p>
<p>yeah, i know college isnt all about the partying and i will definitely be studying during the week, but i'm gonna need to party it up on the weekends. i'm not a party animal, but i'm going to miss the nightlife where i live now. (i currently live downtown in a metropolitan city in asia, which means super nice clubs/lounges/bars that i've been going to twice a week because the legal age here is 18.)</p>
<p>Parties are there but they won't jump out at you. There are fraternity parties of course, most take place at clubs. People of course have parties at houses/apartments too. If it's your thing you should be able to find it. Btw, where are you from?</p>
