<p>So, I visited the University of Maryland today and I really liked it! I thought it was awesome how the stadiums were right on campus and the mall blew me away. However I had a few questions about what students do at night. </p>
<p>I enjoy going out and having a good time and I know from frat parties that I've been to that at a big school like UMD, i will rush a frat. </p>
<p>So, on my tour I saw the "Frat Row" which is like a horseshoe with lots of frat houses on it. However, this is on campus. I am assuming that no real parties go on in these houses. </p>
<p>I was wondering where the cool frats tend to have their parties?</p>
<p>Is it at off campus campus housing?</p>
<p>Also....whats the deal with the bar scene at UMD. I read about there being a lot of bars around town. Are these exclusively for 21 and over...What about those who have good ID's? </p>
<p>Another question is about football and tailgating: do the frats take it seriously, or is the tailgating the most important part. I know at a lot of other schools every one goes to the tail gaits has a great time and stays for maybe half the game. </p>
<p>Thank you for shedding light on these topics and I hope a current UMD greek can explain, or alumni. Preferably not someone who despises the Greek system.</p>
