Hi! I applied ED to Colby and am anxiously awaiting the 15th. I was wondering if any current students could explain in more detail what the social life at Colby is like. I’ve heard that it’s mostly just drinking in dorm rooms, but I’ve also heard about underground frats and a bigger party scene. Do kids go into Portland a lot to party and socialize? Thanks!
You can do whatever you want. There is a huge party scene, especially on weekends, and participation is totally optional. There is no social pressure to attend parties if you don’t want to, but I you area party animal, Colby can be heaven for you. People do go to Portland and other nearby cities very often
Hi! As someone who does not go to parties, it is definitely an option. I also have friends that drink and always find a party to go to if they want to and some friends that don’t drink but enjoy socializing at the parties. Always lots of options on campus in terms of parties and in terms of exciting events.
