<p>Where are most of the parties held at Penn (dorms, fraternities, etc)? I'm going to be in the quad next year as a freshman and I hear the quad has the best freshman experience, is that because the quad hosts a lot of parties or that the people there socialize just more than the other houses?</p>
<p>It’s the latter. You can’t really throw a party in a dorm room. However, you’ll find that a lot of people in the Quad are down to pre-game and go out to fraternity parties during the first semester. You wouldn’t necessarily find that in the same quantity in some of the upperclassmen dorms.</p>
<p>Pregame at the Quad, party at the frats.</p>
