<p>Can anyone tell me about the party scene at Dartmouth? How often are parties? Lots of liquor, marijuana, etc..?</p>
<p>Its pretty strong. People are very friendly and there are usually two-three big parties every weekend night (dance parties) and a bunch of smaller parties (dorm/ off campus). Not everyone participates, but Dartmouth does have one of the most active social scenes among the Ivies if that is what you are looking for.</p>
<p>thank you! yes, i do like to go to parties and have fun, so its a big deal for me. How far away are the parties that are off campus?</p>
<p>The off campus parties are all very close. Dartmouth has a bunch of student houses with names, i.e. "3D, 8 School, Loveshack, ABCDs, Sugar Shack, 7 Maple, The experiment, The Barn, etc" all of which are very close to campus. The frats also are very open, with everyone invited to every party. There are lots of people out on the weekends, and you'll run into people everywhere. Its a blast because people are fun and inclusive. I always felt that in terms of nightlife Dartmouth offers as many outlets as a city could.</p>
