<p>When you're an underclassmen at vassar is it still possible to drink? Are there many parties? not like raging frat parties, but fun a little crazy parties? Any other info?</p>
<p>Oy. Some people drink, some people party, some people do drugs. It is always ‘possible’ for inventive students at any college to do so. There are no frats so there are no crazy frat parties, but, on any given weekend, yes, there are parties going on, usually at senior housing.</p>
<p>Dorm parties are technically not allowed and have been known to get shut down by security. I don’t really party. I only go to parties for groups I am affiliated with, such as choir, or quidditch. I live on wellness, and many of the people who do live on wellness have never even been to a party. If you’re worried about not being able to get drugs and alcohol, I wouldn’t worry, and if you’re worried that there’s too much, there is always wellness housing.</p>
<p>But, really. It’s college. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.</p>
<p>Can freshmen go to parties at senior housing? Are they open or do you have to know someone?</p>
<p>Crystalj I’m wondering the same thing…</p>
<p>Is it fun enough to not get bored being there for 4 years?</p>
<p>Yes, underclassmen CAN get into parties at senior housing. But that has to do with whether the people living there know you, or the person you’re going with. And, at least from what I’ve seen, senior tend to look down on silly little freshmen trying to get into their parties to drink their alcohol and make a mess in their houses. Again, I’m a freshman I only go to parties where I know the hosts. And it isn’t very easy to meet seniors unless you join various organizations. Most parties I’ve encountered have not been open. I had to know people to get in.</p>
<p>Riocarmenstar, I think that depends on your idea of fun, to be honest. If all you want to do is party, you might want to go elsewhere. On any given weekend I’m probably not partying because, I don’t know, I have work to do and things like that. You know, important college things. The most important part of college isn’t partying. You will have a lot of work to do, there’s no denying that, and you’ll be lucky if you get much time away from it to party, especially depending on your major.</p>
<p>Well obviously college is about academics. But a lot of colleges have really good academics and if I’m going to be somewhere for 4 years I’m just curious if I’m going to die from boredom after class.</p>
<p>You will not die of boredom . Create your own happenings .</p>
<p>You’ll probably want to find advice from someone who doesn’t live in Wellness Housing regarding this sort of stuff, man, unless you enjoy condescending ********. I wouldn’t trip; NYC is an hour and thirty away, if Vassar does end up really boring. Considering it’s a school with a reputation for being drug heavy and sex heavy, it probably won’t.</p>
<p>Edit: From your profile account, you’re 15. You shouldn’t even worry about this sort of stuff until you’re applying for colleges, really.</p>
<p>Wellness people party, too. Thanks for making assumptions. We just don’t want OUR bathrooms to be disgusting, thank you. Was I being condescending? No, I was being honest. It’s tacky to go to senior housing just looking for booze. It’s expensive and I certainly wouldn’t want to share with random freshmen who can’t get it elsewhere.</p>
<p>Yes, you come across as condescending, but it has nothing to do with you living on a wellness hall (its just you) and it is unfortunate that some individuals still associate wellness with overall dislike of partying. That being said…</p>
<p>Yea, if you are looking for huge frat parties don’t come/go to Vassar. But, this doesn’t mean there are not parties. Typical weekend at Vassar starts in a dorm room at around 930-10 with eh lets say 4-10 people (aka your friends). Once a sufficient amount of alcohol is consumed the party most likely shifts from the dorms to senior/ off campus housing. Sometimes there is more alcohol, usually there is not (but this is where a road beer comes in handy). At these places it is usually a giant mess of people; some drinking, some dancing, some talking. Stay there until 130-2 and time for bed. end scene.</p>
<p>Now, if you are worried about getting into parties or not knowing people to get in to them, don’t be. Vassar is small so its really easy to find people you know. And actually, since a smaller portion of the school consistently parties (and the same groups consistently throw open parties) it is easy to meet and connect with other party goers increasing your chances of finding/being invited to various parties.</p>
