<p>So, I know Dartmouth is famous for its frats (blame Animal House if you want).Is it overwhelming? Is there anything else to do or am I just going to be drinking beer for 4 years?</p>
<p>From what I hear, "Ivy League parties are everyone who was a nerd in high school pretending that they weren't, and getting drunk."</p>
<p>What do you think? I'm something of an anomaly at my school, since I have done more than my fair share of partying, but also am in the top 4-5% of my class. I'm slightly burned on on the whole getting drunk thing, just because when something is always around it has less of an allure.</p>
